Hey there, I just thought that I'd make a breakdown of a New Standard 2000 Padlock. I've had it for a while now, and couldn't pick it for the longest time, then I just got it today. I don't know why I couldn't get it before, I think that I was just having a hard time finding a tension wrench that didn't bind the cylinder. But this is my first breakdown, so be nice. As you can see, this lock is set up with a master key system for many different levels of keys. If you have any questions, let me know.
Here is the lock:
Here is a top view:
This is the inside, after the cylinder has been pulled out:
Here is the full break down, rather simple design:
And here is a close up of the pins, as you can see, there are no security pins, just a lot of thin pins for a master key system.
Any questions? Let me know what you think,
Nick
