[275] Abloy 342 and 350 explored (no picking)

I really enjoy the Abloy padlocks. I still have to learn how to pick them but having them in my collection makes me happy.
Enjoy the gutting.

Thanks so much for this video. I dismantled a 350 to clean rust and was struggling to put the keyway back together. This helped so much 👍

[@MultiVde]

I am happy you found it useful.

[@ccmogs5757]

Protec 1 = dimple Protec 2 = ball bearing

[@62Cristoforo]

Thanks for the info. Good descriptive video that came in handy for me.

[@MultiVde]

Happy to be of help :)

[@deronchopathe3791]

Beautiful pieces of technology: thank you for sharing. :)

[@jeffmoss26]

beautiful!! I have a couple small, older Abloys here.

[@MikePergl]

Great video. It is very nice to see the inner parts of these padlocks. Thanks for showing us.

[@MultiVde]

It was an experience for me too. Thanks for watching

[@tarehjernetarehjerne4082]

I used this video as a guide on how to put mine back together

[@DonzLockz]

Awesome, thanks for the video. I have the exact same with a Sentry & Protec 1, plus some 330's Classic and a 362CS Sentry. I am too scared to open them so cheers for the video.🍺👍🏽😎

[@Nitrxgen]

Hehe, I have one of all Abloy PL series padlocks in Protec2, so expensive but they're so satisfying to operate. I employ them on our farm. The Protec2 cores are tiny and remove as one piece without them falling apart, very good stuff.

[@TheGeezzer]

342 is a Protec1 the 350 is a Sentry. Nice video with some great camera work!👍💨🙂

[@ericshutter5305]

PL342 has a Protec2 version.

[@bryanslocks3481]

@@ericshutter5305 No it does not. The Protec2 has a ball bearing at the end of the key. This padlock shown does not have that new feature. It is a regular Protec.

[@BD90..]

Cool

[@trekmaster30]

Those are really nice locks! I just wish they were more common here in the states.

[@64akon]

Trekmaster30 here in canada we see the pl330 everywhere because of hydroQuebec the electricity company

[@Tb0n3]

Trekmaster30 330s are pretty popular with trucking companies because they're so we'll built. Though the 340s would be better with the hardened lock body.

[@sts1541]

vde, some of the abloy 342's come without "boron" sign on the shackles, does that mean the shackles are NOT boron?

[@goulashigabor]

My sentry 342 also don't have the boron?

[@JRLMBeats]

Is this too big for a typical locker? would the shackle fit? i mean your typical locker at work for example?

[@MultiVde]

These two models are quite big (the 342 has 0.400in or 10mm thick shackle), and unless the holes of the padlock holder are large enough then it would probably not fit. There are however smaller models of the Abolys like the 330 which would fit and still would provide very good security. There is also the suitcase lock of abloy (pun intended as it is still relatively large) the 321 model, but for a locker I think it might be too small if you look for higher security.

[@FoodOnCrack]

the 321 is only brass, not steel unfortunately

[@adrn25m]

FoodOnCrack the abloy 330 is brass bodied also and chrome plated over the top.

[@Nitrxgen]

Yes, the 330 has a brass body but let's be serious, this guy is asking about securing a work locker. You really think someone's going to cut through 48mm of brass for a work locker? Any attacker will just pull the hinges off the door if they're that determined so don't get hung up on a brass vs. steel body.

[@VicariousReality7]

5:05 Wait wait wait what? How can you remove any disc core lock key in the open position?

[@MultiVde]

You can't I made a mistake there (was thinking about something else) I have had corrected myself in the annotations. :) Cheers and thanks for watching

[@huxleypig69]

Looks like a Protec 1 and a Sentry.

[@MultiVde]

Need to check that, thanks for the info! :)

[@chefgav1]

vde definitely a protec 1

[@DC-sn6mt]

I took mine apart and the discs fell and they got mixed up, is there any chance I could put it back? Or throw it away?

[@MultiVde]

You ca totally repair it. dont bin it please would be a waste. It will take some time to figure it out but it can be saved. If you want you can look for a local lockpicking club around where you live and they can assist. If you also want send it my way and i can try and fix it and send it back to you. Key is avaiable I assume?

[@DC-sn6mt]

@@MultiVde won't bin it, key available, but I don't believe anyone can put it back, where do you live? I'm from London

Btw there are a few good guys in the UK as well, have a word Locknoob as well

[@DC-sn6mt]

@@MultiVde I've emailed you

[@chefgav1]

Funny enough the protec you have is older than the sentry

[@MrHiram30]

Can you pick these?

[@MultiVde]

Not that good sorry :)

[@MultiVde]

p.s. just remembered LockpickingMx picked one with the classic core have a look on it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWbTg4CAqsh2itk

[@huxleypig69]

I was the first to do that ffs :-( Only my tools will pick an unknown lock.

[@chefgav1]

huxleypig69 lol hux that’s a bit cheeky claiming to be the first to pick.I remember you not knowing about how many discs the classic had only a few years ago.You definitely have great skills but MX picked these before you.
