changing cylinders in the bigger "american lock" padlocks

May 05, 2006 Last reply: 20 years ago 2 Replies

on their larger padlocks, is this pretty straight forward task? are any special tools, hardwares, or specialized 'keys' required to remove the old cylinders or to reinsert the new ones? any other prerequisites?



thanks guys for any and all info-tips etc,

bottom of padlock has what could be described as a figure 8 shaped plate over the key area?

OPEN the lock..and look down the shackle hole.. allen wrench..

Not always an Allen, not always a figure 8..look at the service manual. At the link click product search and at that page scroll down. BBE.
