Great video thanks very much for making it. It was a great help.

Not sure you still respond to comments, but I have a two of these locks, both with the same key: the first one, which we use primarily, the shackle keeps popping out; and a second spare one, where the shackle won’t lock unless the key is in it and turned. Haven’t spent much time with the second one, just finding it today to see if it could replace the first one. Perhaps it is time for a new lock, but because there are many people who use it and keys to be made, the hesitancy.

[@BoredLockpicker]

Still responding lol. If it were me I’d buy a new and take the cylinder from the old One and put it in the new one.

[@seventh-oneproductions]

@@BoredLockpicker that is a clever solution. Thank you, though I really have no picking skills, more of a tourist, but maybe it I something I could do....

[@BoredLockpicker]

@@seventh-oneproductions if you have the keys why do you have to pick it?

Nice job. Great concise video. Does the 700 only accept American Lock cores or can any other makes of cores fit as a drop in? I realize the half moon bit will have to marry up to the half moon on the actuator. Thanks

[@BoredLockpicker]

It takes all the redistricted american keyways. It might take an M10 too. I feel like I've seen that before. There's also a version that accepts fullsize kik cylinders so can put whatever keyway you need in

[@KimmyPolen]

Where does the pin go on the 220 that keeps the shackle from coming out? Please. Help me. Again. Yes still me. Still same nightmare. I didn’t mean actuator last time. I know where it goes. It’s the when.

[@BoredLockpicker]

I’m sorry I don’t have that 220 anymore to go look at it. If you want to send me yours with all the parts I could probably put it back together for you

[@soloban81]

Ha! You bought the same eBay locks I did from VA. Some WD-40 will remove that label.

[@BoredLockpicker]

soloban81 just checked eBay. Yep Virginia lol. This was master pinned. I had to rekey it to work with the key without the master wafers

[@soloban81]

Bored Lock picker yup. The three I bought were master pinned as well.
