A Master 930 may be a bit easier to work with when it comes to disassembly. All you need to do is pop open the shackle with the key. Then inside the lock body where the shackle locks into there is a set screw you can take out with a allan wrench. After thats out the cylinder will basically fall right out. If you can see how this lock works and is constructed you'll know how your current padlock works.

that looks like a 140 from a quick glance (thought i don't have a 150)

using heat to pop the caps out will basically render the lock useless as a lock or a practice tool. the 140 has also been striped and photographed. there is a nice shot of the pins in the "list of security pins in locks" sticky.

cracking this one open wont teach you as much as if u striped and repined a rim cylinder.

I dont care if the lock brakes or w/e, i just wanna actually open the whole thing up to see what a real lock looks like inside..the lock is already broke..im going to get 3 locks tomoro from b&q for 3.98

I would avoid the cheap padlocks for now. Hard to get your picks in and sloppy tensions. not so good for learning. get a nice cheap Yale rim cylinder dude. or a nice cheap euro lock.

Now that is just bad behaviour. You have broken a lock that is not yours in any way.

Could you please read the forums rules and guidelines and please follow them.

i know for a fact that the squire lever padlocks are the easiest to break open.
When i was a member of a fort, some noob head tried lockpicking the padlock on one of the outside buildings of the fort, but then they glued it all up and absolutely ruined it. ( it had wire stuck in it really bad , it was old anyway) and so the fort owner took a hammer to it but he was frustrated, he retired the padlock in 5 hits, it fell to the floor and when he placed it on its side and hit it 3 times all the pieces come out. they were like brass plates with gaps in.

Ah-ha...and the hammer is a lockpick?

by **Proctor** » 27 Jul 2007 17:50

Well the lock worked when he gave me it

urgh. its as simple as this. if YOU broke it its YOUR fault. just own up to your step dad about it. and then stop picking locks you or anyone else uses.
