Rekey Master 230 padlock

Postby crmcrm » 4 May 2014 12:57

I picked up a master 230 padlock. I want to progressively increase the number of pins for practice. I have taken the lock out of the housing, but cannot get the cylinder out. I cannot see a retaining clip. Any thoughts?

On some of the Master padlock cylinders, you have to turn the plug a bit with your key and line it up to a flat spot, then use a plug follower to push it out.

One word of caution...don't do what I did and completely tear the padlock down, they are a huge pain to reassemble.
Just remove the cylinder...lol
