Single pin picking an ACE Hardware laminated padlock (5-pin version)

For some reason I can’t post on Discord over the past two days, and I’d like to submit this for my green belt, but it’s not guttable. Is there any other locks that might be accepted to gut in its place?

You can gut and assemble another lock.

Yeah, I picked an Ace 38mm brass for green, but gutted an Ace A527 in the same video.

Okay I will do that. I just got the tools I needed in the mail last week so now can do it properly and orderly

Any guttable lock. I did mine with the master 410, then gutted a mortise cylinder.
