13. You can rearrange the order of the core rings and key teeth to create a padlock that only you can open! To do so, unscrew the
bottom cover of the padlock and take out the core. Remove the core rings from the core and key teeth from the key body. Then
rearrange the core rings and key teeth to match. There are shapes (
) on the rings and the teeth to help you match them up. If the
rings and teeth don’t match, the key won’t unlock the padlock. Begin with these two combinations as examples.
D. TROUBLE SHOOTING
If the key cannot open the lock:
• Make sure you are inserting the key all the way into the lock before turning the key.
• Check that the order of the core rings matches the order of the teeth on the key.
• Remove the bottom and top covers and make sure that all the springs are in place and that all the parts are moving freely.
E. HOW IT WORKS
When you close the padlock the end of the bar lock catches in the slot in the short end of the shackle, locking the shackle in place.
Without the key in the lock, the three core pins interconnect with the three core rings, preventing the core from rotating. When you insert
the key, the teeth on the key push the core pins outwards so that their ends line with the outer edges of the core locks. This frees the
core so that you can turn it with the key. Turning the core lock pulls back the bar lock, releasing the U-shaped bar, which is then pushed
upwards by its spring.
F. FUN FACTS
• Historians have discovered that padlocks were used over two thousand years ago in Ancient Rome, and not long afterwards in China.
• In Ancient Rome, keys were very elaborate, with carvings of lions, horses or other animals decorating their handles.
• In Ancient Egypt keys were a sign of wealth – only rich people could afford things that needed to be locked away!
• Magician Harry Houdini was a locksmith (a person who makes locks and keys) before becoming a famous escape artist.
• Padlock icons are used symbol for locked or unlocked operations on computers.
• In the movies we often see people opening padlocks with hair pins, but that’s almost impossible to do!
• Electronic padlocks have electronic circuits inside that release the shackle when a matching electronic key is inserted into the lock.
• Biometric locks are unlocked by fingerprints or iris patterns.
