The 747 is a rekeyable pin-tumbler padlock with a protected shackle made by American Lock. Among the largest of the American padlocks, the 747 comes in two types that change the method of disassembly. The 747 has remained relatively unchanged throughout the years with the exception of the company logo on the face of the padlock.
Principles of operation
The 747 is a standard pin-tumbler padlock with five pin stacks.
Disassembly instructions
The 747 comes in two types; One version has a sliding piece of metal on the bottom, the other has a screw-retained core retainer and small metal shield.

- Press down on the shackle to ease tension on the locking balls and tap lock on hard surface to remove the cam.
- Remove the locking balls (they will be free once the cam is removed).
