Could someone please identify a Chubb padlock please?

Hi, still noob here, down the car boot today I picked up a big chunky Chubb padlock that had no key. The guy wanted £5 for it even though he knew it had no key but when I put it back down he immediately dropped his price to a mere 50p!! I picked it up despite the fact that it's most likely way beyond my experience level which let's face it is pretty much zero.

Anyway, could someone please have a look and tell me what it is?? I've attached some photo's below, in terms of dimensions it's 7.5cm wide, 2.2cm thick and 5cm tall.

No idea what model that is but it'll be standard stuff, probably just a 5 pinner with spools. I've picked a couple of chubbs, they're a bit like picking the newer yales so you need to go very easy on the spools when setting them... so yeah, they can be quite tricky but not impossible. Hold onto it for a while, you'll get it picked once you have a good feel for what you're doing.

And when you do, you can take the core out... pop down to the locksmiths and get a blank, then make yourself a key for it. Will be a nice little project

Thanks for the reply, I found a video on youtube of someone picking it (or something which looks to be from the same series) and it apparently has a load of spools and serrated drivers - think that one will be staying in the bottom of my little box for a while

The video only sems to be running to 1:03 when I viewed it to do the link but yesterday was working.

The serrations are on the key pins, so they won't really affect SPP. Just keep a mental note of which pins set so you aren't pushing too much on anything that's already set, it'll drop into a false after you get a few set then just pick the spools as normal. The serrated key pins look scary but they're designed more to make raking harder.

The lock is made by Assa-Abloy and branded as Chubb. Uses a standard pin tumbler cylinder that is replaceable by opening the padlock and undoing the philips screw in the shackle locking hole.

Thanks, yes above I said serrated drivers, my bad, still trying to get my head round the terminology. I think I'll save it a while, I'll be rather pleased with myself if i ever get it open and keyed because from looking around on the internet it's not cheap by any means, seems I got a bigger bargain than I realised
