The No. 141 is a pin-tumbler padlock made by Master Lock. The No. 141 is a 40mm wide solid body padlock with a black plastic cover with the word "Master" inlaid in silver. The plug is made of brass and does not contain any security pins. The shackle has a diameter of 6mm, and a length of either 22mm or 38mm.
Principles of operation
The No. 141 can only be opened by rotating the plug clockwise.
Disassembly instructions
The No. 141 cannot be disassembled non-destructively; to disassemble it the lock must be sawed in half. The lock is nonfunctional once disassembled because the padlock body acts as the cylinder for the lock.
