Abstract
A padlock includes a standard pop-out lock cylinder having a retractable bolt. The bolt is insertable into a channel in the padlock housing body containing ball bearings that fit against notches in a shackle of the padlock. The bolt provides a detent against which the ball bearings are forced against the notches of the shackle, locking it into a closed position. Upon rotation of the lock cylinder, the bolt is retracted, allowing the ball bearings to cam inward, thereby allowing the shackle to be released from the padlock housing body.
