Trying to remove sargent padlock core.

[808Picka]

Have a sargent padlock with no key, I picked open. I picked it to control, or thought I did. Core did not budge. Isn't control to the left (counter clockwise) and open is to the right (clockwise)? I know Best padlocks are to the right. Are sargents the same? Please clarify this for me.

Sargent IC core is CCW to remove.

Cledry is correct. You may have only turned the plug to the left and not the retaining lug.

Are you sure it's an LFIC and not a fixed core with a screw under the shackle? They look pretty similar from the front.

LFIC will say Sargent on it above the keyway. Regular cylinder won't.

Indeed!
I still need a padlock for a 6300 LFIC for my collection.

Thank you for the great tip. Just what I needed.

I am very happy to be here. Only a couple of minutes and already found two very useful tips. Hooray!
