Master Lock No. 141
The No. 141 is a pin-tumbler padlock made by Master Lock. The No. 141 is a 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.
Principles of operation
The No. 141 can only be opened by rotating the plug clockwise.
Disassembly instructions
The No. 140 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.

The No. 141 may be vulnerable to one or more of the following:
