The No. 140 is a pin-tumbler padlock made by Master Lock. The No. 140 is a solid body padlock. The inner cylinder uses four pin stacks and does contain security pins.

The No. 140 can only be opened clockwise.

The No. 140 is vulnerable to a wide range of attacks. Other then the security pins the reduced pin tumbler count and poor manufacturing tolerances makes it an easy lock to pick and it is often given to lock picking beginners to learn about security pins. The No. 140 may be vulnerable to one or more of the following:
