Just a friendly note, please type things out in non-texting English, and try to do spell check if you can, Firefox is great because it automatically underlines all the words that are not correctly spelled. Many of the members here speak English as a second language and may not be familiar with texting slang such as "any1", "ppl", etc, etc, so please be mindful of that.

Good job on picking that Yale, keep up the good work,

Well Googling that obscure model number suggests that it is a padlock, with loads of vinyl shrouding it to make it 'weatherproof'

Essentially it seems to be a laminate steel padlock and is therefore very likely to be similar to the Master no. 3 padlock which also uses a laminate construction. There are lots of steel plates that have a hollow bit in the middle of each one to accommodate a lock cylinder - think about a pre-slice garlic bread baguette that has had the middle scooped out and that's pretty much it, in culinary terms. All of these steel plates are sandwiched together with (Guessing here) 8 rivets.

The usual way of taking them apart involves grinding away at these rivets so the plates come apart and you can then get to the lock cylinder which will probably look very small and unimpressive. You can take apart this cylinder but those that I've seen in the past are fairly cheap looking and didn't go back together ideally after dis-assembly. Getting the laminate plates back together is a pain - if you can find long enough rivets then you could rivet it back together, or you could use long thin hex-head bolts and bolt it back together, although these generally in the way, but I've done it in the past and they worked.

Basically, don't do it. It's a massive pain in the neck and there are pictures on this site from people who have already done it so you can see how they work - search for "Master no.3/#3 taken apart/disassembled/cut-away" or something like that and you'll find plenty.

I don't recommend you actually do what the person in the photographs did to the cylinder but it should give you an idea as to how they work and what they look like inside.

Hmmm, I really should make a cut-away of one of these locks sometime.

Ok, must write this essay... :roll: :lol:

I have one of those... a lot of yale padlocks have removable cores, unfortunately that isn't one of em. You can't take it apart without destroying it. They're just spools anyway.. regular key pins, spool drivers.

The reason this lock is a pain to pick has nothing to do with the pins, it's because the weatherproof part doesn't come off, so tensioning it is really annoying. The keyway is pretty small too so if you weren't tensioning the same side as the pins I can see why it'd have been a real nightmare for ya. :mrgreen:

Wow thanx everyone. . .you guys are of great help! The reason why i wantd to take it apart was to c what pins are in it. . I somtimes got it into a false set and then set the spools and it opend. Then other times i felt like i set serated pins and it opens strait away without any false set. .so im pretty sure it has serrated and spool pins in bt i wantd to make sure. . .but thanx again for all that great info
