Abloy Protec Padlock (PL330N) cutaway

Information about locks themselves. Questions, tips and lock diagram information should be posted here.

The 330 is smaller than the 340, but all sizes of abloy padlocks are available with protec, disklock, or classic.

Didn't realize the 330 came with the protec cylinder? always thought it was the 340. Learn something new every day :D

I've got 3 x 330 classic pads now....I pick them up on ebay for a tenner a time and as soon as the yare through the door the grub screw is drilled out so I can dismantle the cylinder.

I've marked mine up totally different to yours to be routed though.....Instead of a deep cut in like you did, mine skims about 3 - 4 mm from each side just enough so the locking bar can still work without falling out. Its a bit of a trial & error thing though, & i figured that cutting a bit at a time is better than going for the whole lot without knowing of any problems that may arise.

I've got 2 more here which will get the treatment in due time.....will definitely have one deep cut like yours now i've seen the result :D
