Now, at first glance, it appears to be a fairly competent lock.

We have a hardened steel 63 millimeter wide lock body and 11 millimeter malignant Malloy's shackle, a ball bearing locking mechanism and a six pin core that is filled with security pins and also has a somewhat Paris centric key way.

As an added bonus, this has a full size core, so one could keep this elect to any other lock with a Y one key way, and the Y one is one of the more common key ways in the world.

Now, on the PIC Resistance Front, I've heard a few people say that these locks punch above their weight, and I think one of the reasons for that is the tapered key pins, which are very easy to over set.

But once you know what kind of pens yell, uses and therefore what to expect, some of that difficulty is lessened.

So let's see what it takes to pick into this.

And then, of course, I will take it apart to show you what's inside amusing bottom of the key way.

Tension with a wiper insert and a standard hook in 18 thousands might have gotten a little click on one to his binding tightly click at it too.

And we dropped into a false set.

Okay, Number three little counter rotation on three.

Okay, I think three is set number four, counter rotation.

And there we go.

I think we got four set number five counter rotation, and I think we have five set now on to number six Little counter rotation there.

And we got it open on number six.

I actually over set it a bit, but when I less intention at keepin dropped down and we opened up Okay, let's take this apart and I will show you what's inside.

This comes apart with a Phillips screw down the shackle hole.

Okay, Now we have two screws on the back of the cylinder and one interesting feature I see here if we look carefully at the back, you can see the small pin sticking out right here.

If you move that pin over to this hole, this lock becomes non key retaining if you keep it where it is, right now it is key retaining.

It's really nice that they give the user the option.

Okay, let's get a key and a follower, and this should come apart paid.

Let's drop these key pins out Now.

Number one is a tapered brass.

Number two is a standard steel pen.

Three is tapered brass.

So is four, five and six, and it appears there are some anti drill pens.

Let's see if they come out.

They sure d'oh!

And let's confirm that keep it in slot to is in fact, steal and it definitely is.

Okay, let's arrange these key pins and then we'll get the driver pins out.

I'm expecting to see some schools in here, except for perhaps lot, too.

I did not feel anything there.

Number one is a very deep school.

Two is a standard steel pen.

Three is a deep spool, a little bit longer than the spool in slot one.

Maybe they have balanced pin chambers here.

Another long spool in slot four.

Same in slot five and same in slot.

Six.

Let's take a look at the springs, and they all appear to be the same.

Okay, let me give you a close up of all this looking at the pins, you can see we have all tapered key pens except for them one in slot number two, which is a standard steel pin for drill resistance than all of the driver pins are deep spools, with the exception of slot to which again is steel for drill resistance.

And we also have these three hard and rods that were in the corps again for drill resistance moving over to the core itself.

You can see really not a whole lot unusual here.

I'm not sure what these little holes on the side are.

They're in the wrong position for construction cane.

So no idea what, therefore, possibly for extra drill resistance that isn't on this lock.

Maybe you could put something else in there, but the rest of it looks pretty standard.

We have six chambers and then 123 holes for those heart and pens.

So that's all I have for you today on this Yale Series 300 padlock.
