Almont Re-key padlocks are an old favorite of mine, I pick them up when I see them for next to nothing. I brought one home from a flea market yesterday, got it open & the cylinder turned all the way past the internal stop, stuck in my pin retention tool, and the cyclinder won't come out. Even with the retention tool not inserted and in all positions, it's in there solid as a rock (turns easily and otherwise feels normal, just won't pull out). I'll spend some time with it later this evening, but I thought I'd throw it out there to those who have more experience that I. Any ideas?
