there is so many master lock numbers (1-20 etc.) that is really hard to tell what you should do to pick it,somebody should write a guide on tips & tricks for master locks.

9000 key combinations? im not really suprised you can't pick it..

In that whole post, you've really said sodd-all, haven't you? I mean you could have posted a blank message and still pass on as much info.

9000 key differs... Oh, how terrible...

I was going to pick up the master #15, but it looks like a over sized #5 and thought it used the same cylinder so I got a 532 and 911 instead.

Does it actually feel similar to the #3 or #5? Or does it feel completely different?

I dunno, I like the idea of a "wiki-style" guide to picking the dif Masterlock numbers. It could go on Zekes site maybe.... :?:

Just find the binding pin.. it doesn;t matter how many keys can be made..

I just got the 911 too, it is crap. Do you know how to remove the cylinder from it? It's suppose to be removable.

Just for the record the best master I've found so far is the 532. Has spool pins, looks good, and feels like a real lock ;)
