If you do decide to take it out of your collection and use it make sure you perform periodic maintenance (clean and grease) as it likes to bind and become real pain to unlock after a while. On several occasions it has binded in the confines of a lockbox on the door of a munitions locker and when I shimmied it loose (for several minutes sometimes) it would fall and jam my fingers in there with the key. You really get an appreciation for how heavy something is when it falls and pins your fingers against something
Hey Anton, I am not going to use it for sure but I know what you mean and have heard similar stories from military personal that had the same issues. You always need to maintain such locks and oil/grease them well! I know from an old Veteran that the older Version mad by Highshear was FAR worse! It would jam constantly due to its shear weight and the vertical bolt... They always took a hammer with them when they needed to unlock one of these ;) best wishes, Adrian
Haha! Usually I will avoid showing the security card in videos because I do not want others to have keys to my locks and who knows if there isn't someone out there with a friend at the factory to "help" him out. I do not use the locks that I show in my videos so it does normally not matter but still. I do show the security cards of older locks though like my bks multi pin. Did I make a video on my Zeiss Ikon Magnet yet? If not I have to do that.
I have a lock like that with the key it's a bit older any idea how much it might be worth. It w as my grandfather's.i haven't any kids to pass it along to. If I remember it starts with letter b.
Well the shackle is protected by ceramic inserts as well and so is the whole body and the special hasp it is used with. Everything on this padlock is extreme so don't worry you can't just saw it.
Thanks for your comment my friend but could it be that you mixed something up? The 051 is mostly used for mobile ammunition bunkers and the envo is used for the things you said. The Envo only costs around 100-150 dollars :)
Well that ballistic missile can destroy many lives. I can understand that they want to secure it in a good way. However I would propably prefer a manipulation proof sturdy safe with a similar expensive lock. But then you would need two locks on that safes and installing two manipulation proof locks on small safe is not that easy (limited space for the mechanism) Best wishes, Adrian
I believe it is. The core on the 951 is painted green no idea if the one the 833 us green too I do not have the 833 yet. The key on the 831 is different though, it is shorter and on the 951 it is a bit longer due to the added drill protection plate.
I love these locks. I've only managed to get a couple of 826 C's so far but hope to get a 951 one of these days. Thank you for the detailed show and tell.
@@ednova4188 You're a true champion for asking. I did manage to get one new with all keys, card, and chain. Even managed a new 831 B still in the box. So hard to say not when it comes to S&G. :)
Hehe, thanks mate! I got this lock from a friend who is a security specialist and has a private collection. I got it way cheaper then the original price so you might get lucky one day too! :)
Medeco is not a normal American cylinder. It is a pin tumbler lock, per se, which is the primary USA American style lock in use, and it has been for the past 75-100 years or so. Few pin tumbler locks have pins that need to be clocked and elevated to open. Check out an Emhart lock. Medeco is similar to the Emhart, requiring all the pins to be elevated and rotated by the key. The Emhart has one or two, maybe three pins at most, that have to be elevated to the shear line, then rotated so a dovetail will allow them to slide apart, into a groove in the cylinder. All the pins in the Medico must be elevated to the shear line and clocked (rotated) to one of THREE different set positions. The ceramic rods and special alloy in your lock protects it from liquid nitrogen, freezing + impact attacks, oxy-acetylene torch (melting) attacks, as well as high impact attacks from power hammers, low velocity powder actuated nail guns (Ramset), and even firearms. The control key rotates the core for removal. Sargent & Greenleaf sells these locks in lots, generally not ever one at a time.
Hey Seth, thank you for that additional input! I do have a cutaway of the Medeco and also of the Emhart lock here and wanted to do a video of these cutaways one day. I never got to it but I hope to get back doing videos soon. Thanks again and have a good weekend, Adrian
Every Emhart I have (total of 5) require all pins in the lock to be rotated properly. Where did you get the idea that only a couple of the pins needed to be rotated in an Emhart?
What I meant. You don't want to make a key. Just gain access once but to order to do so you have to destroy the lock (but not cylinder). In order to not grab attention you need to somehow replace the lock. Is there any difference between the military and civilian other than cylinder and a stamped/engraved number?
@@AdrianWeber Oh nice, thought I saw both yourself and another channel (and LPL) open it fully with the normal key but guess I was wrong. What and where does it stop being fully taken apart? Can you still slide the 2 pieces apart?
@@joshuadalton6063 I have not actually seen an LPL video with this lock. I do recall a video where he said he did not have one, though that was a year or two ago now.
Hey Robert, that is easy, the "c" stands for "commercial". The c version will feature a "Non-restricted locking cylinder for commercial applications" (quote from S&G). As a "normal" customer you will only be able to buy the S&G951c and not the military version. However the military version (the one from this video) pops up on Ebay US from time to time. Hope that helps! Best wishes, Adrian
It is less secure and easier to pick. We are talking about a standard Medeco vs. a high security restricted Medeco for military purposes with deep cuts. Best wishes, Adrian
Awesome Video Adrian and what a Beautiful Lock. I am one if the Lucky ones to now Finally own a Sargent & Greenleaf 951 Padlock & I am so Happy I also have the Sargent & Greenleaf 833 Padlock and that is Amazing Too. Keep up the great work Dude and the Amazing Videos. Chat Soon. N.
I have no personal experience, but I think from my understanding of what the old S&G environmental locks were typically used for a lot of these are used to secure places where certain types of waste has been stockpiled, or shuttered military facilities that have had their doors closed...etc. I mean its a lock it could lock anything, but a $1500 lock sounds like Cold War era stuff all over again. Anything really exciting probably also has people guarding it....
This is the kind of lock I would use. I have 4 of them. One is perfect condition for the collection and the other 3 ones are in use. All of them are military versions
I am really glad that someone other than the military actually uses this padlock! I only have one for the collection and no use for an additional one. However I am still glad to have one for the collection ;)
@@AdrianWeber They are well worth the money. I also use locks like the ROTALOK with a core like the MT5+ in it or a ICON. Another lock I would use is the ABUS Granit insurance lock. Also want to get myself a Hi-shear LK1200 for the collection

@@TALIZ0RAH Hey Tali, with "in the field" I meant mobile ammunition bunkers that can be relocated but also get bolted down at remote sites around the globe. The S&G padlock is used in conjunction with the NAPEC hasp on those buildings. Hope that explains it, Adrian
Hello Jake, no adverts for sales in videos sorry. I will remove your post later. If you want to sell something check out the keypicking forum or others.
Thank you for the tip about making control keys! If I pick one of these up that only has a user key that would save me a lot of hassle of sending it out to get picked and serviced! Do you only need to modify the anti-drilling cap so you can use Abloy Protec cylinders on this padlock?
Hey Paul, modifying this padlock is not so easy and the Protec would not add much protection... please keep in mind that these locks are mainly used with a special hasp where the keyhole is facing the ground and you can not move the padlock. Therefore picking it in this position is not only very difficult but also very unlikely! Best wishes, Adrian
Nice, I'm surprised the ceramic inserts were rods, I thought they were ceramic plates at first... I wonder how much extra time one of those rods would add to a grinding attack...
Hey CJ, I wonder too but I am not going to try it on the one that I have here ;) as I remember correclty they must have tested this. I am not sure if you can find these test results online but I doubt it. I could not find them in my notes but I heard about these tests once... Best wiches, Adrian

W😮W! Nice mint condition collector's piece there. A real heavyweight too. Its an old video Adrian I know, but still worth commenting on all the same because of what it is...a big ole Gem of a padlock💎 that you're lucky to have in your collection.😎
I was able to get your code from the few seconds you had a clear shot of the bar-code. Also the code can be pulled from the key itself. Not that it matters but I thought I would give it a try :P
Hey Robot, all code cards that I show in videos can be shown because these locks are not in use and only part of the collection :) no need to worry! Best wishes, Adrian
Hi there, randomly stumbled upon your video. Seemed interesting so i watched and i have a question :) What's the point of the ceramic rods? What do they do and how do they reinforce the security of the lock?
If you attack it with an angle grinder the angle grinder or better the spinning disc will have huge problems cutting through ceramic (because ceramic is much harder than steel and also much harder than the material that the disc is supposed to cut through). You will end up using one disc after another and making LOTS of noise!
Great video of an awesome padlock 👍🏻 Just subscribed to your channel now… Looking forward to going back and watching your passed videos over the holidays! What would have been the result heard you forgotten to put the little ball bearing in place? Happy holidays to you!
Hey John, glad you like my videos! I hope to get back doing videos someday, looking good for next year. Best wishes and have a pleasant Christmas time! Adrian
Hey Ben, yes it is the military version I should have shown the package. I will do a whole series on S&G padlocks this year so you are gonig to see that sooner or later! I am not sure how much I paid on it something between 300 and 400 dollars, it was an okay deal I would say!
Hey Mad Russian, it will fit that need perfectly! We also have an old bunker right here in Niddatal Ilbenstadt, if you ever get to Germany let me know and I will make sure that you get a tour! Adrian
Hey mate I finally got to think about your idea. Fact is that the engraving is probably done by a dot peen printer. I suppose by hand because the character of the printing is very inaccurate. The advantage of this kinda engraving is that it is hard to file of or to destroy it. On the other hand I'd say it is probably easier for a professional to pick or impression the lock and then make a key or change the core. But why? To look at weapons?
It is interesting to see another 2009 production 951. I just acquired one this week. The finish seems to be a warmer color than I am used to seeing on S&G padlocks and the friend I got it from has also a 2015 951, it's finish is much more gray in color. Other interesting bit, it just happens to have a spot sitting next to an Anchor Las 840-4(with ASSA 700 core) in my collection. Thought it was interesting you mentioned Anchor Las. Did you ever do the video on all the S&G padlocks you have?
@@Melanie16040 Hey Melanie, yeah the colour can be different depending on the cast. I am however not sure if the changed they cast during the years, it could be possible. I am glad I got one with a warmer tone though ;) No I sadly never made the video and some are still sitting with someone in the US which I can not reach any longer. However I have enough locks here to cover a series but I am still very busy with work I am afraid...
Interesting idea you got there mate! I will do a video response to your question and explain why this is NOT impossible but also nearly impossible to achieve unless you work for the government etc.
Can't you just destroy the military lock, make a key, take a civilian version and stamp or engrave the same number into that? Sure It may not look 100% like the original one but no one will notice. Beside it wouldn't surprise me if you take two lock manufactured with some time between or on another assembly line then their number appearance will look different too (not that I know about this specific lock, just a common pattern I see with a lot of things).
Great video as always,careful with key code was able to read code seems someone else did as well ,I am too far away from you so no worries lol Thanks again
Hey Murleaf, all code cards that I show in videos can be shown because these locks are not in use and only part of the collection :) no need to worry! Best wishes, Adrian
@@AdrianWeber I didnt realise how much im into padlocks, they are man toys along with guns etc... Bit beyond my pocket, would love to get one someday. I would say it looks expensive even to a lay person, anything with Military spec is cool in my eyes.
Definitely man toys! Since having guns is a bit expensive and coupled with numerous of restrictions in Germany, collecting military locks is just a bit easier for me. If you get what I mean ;) I totally get what you mean!
Yet the lock is worthless without the key 🔑 so stealing the lock alone is just going to get you a paper weight. Cause the company won’t send you the keys just because you have the lock 🔒
@@AdrianWeber and it really is a bargain because i took it apart to inspect it and all the pieces are in place, and the cylinder is fully pinned and the sidebar is intact and in new condition (even had the original box that says "too be opened by security personnel only)
Thanks Dimitris! You know... you just have to upload ONE stupid video and you get millions of view. But when doing something reasonable you have to fight for every subscriber and every view haha! I will continue fighting though and I am happy for every subscriber. Hopefully I will have 1mil views and 1000 subscribers one day. If that happens I will do a BIG quiz with some cool prices.
Hey Panda, this particular kind of lock is actually used with a special hasp called the NAPEC hasp. Which makes it impossible to move around and you have to attack it from the side facing towards you. Which makes it VERY difficult! Best wishes, Adrian

You have to! It's an very impressive padlock indeed, but my favourite in quality is still Anchor Las. Or let's say quality for a reasonable price.
It is interesting to see another 2009 production 951. I just acquired one this week. The finish seems to be a warmer color than I am used to seeing on S&G padlocks and the friend I got it from has also a 2015 951, it's finish is much more gray in color. Other interesting bit, it just happens to have a spot sitting next to an Anchor Las 840-4(with ASSA 700 core) in my collection. Thought it was interesting you mentioned Anchor Las. Did you ever do the video on all the S&G padlocks you have?
@@Melanie16040 Hey Melanie, yeah the colour can be different depending on the cast. I am however not sure if the changed they cast during the years, it could be possible. I am glad I got one with a warmer tone though ;) No I sadly never made the video and some are still sitting with someone in the US which I can not reach any longer. However I have enough locks here to cover a series but I am still very busy with work I am afraid...
Interesting idea you got there mate! I will do a video response to your question and explain why this is NOT impossible but also nearly impossible to achieve unless you work for the government etc.
Can't you just destroy the military lock, make a key, take a civilian version and stamp or engrave the same number into that? Sure It may not look 100% like the original one but no one will notice. Beside it wouldn't surprise me if you take two lock manufactured with some time between or on another assembly line then their number appearance will look different too (not that I know about this specific lock, just a common pattern I see with a lot of things).
That is a FANTASTIC video mate. Great job and fantastic lock :o))))
Total badass lock
Hey Cherkin, glad you like it man! Best wishes, Adrian
Great video. Thank you for sharing!
Hey Angel, you are most welcome!
Great video as always,careful with key code was able to read code seems someone else did as well ,I am too far away from you so no worries lol Thanks again
Hey Murleaf, all code cards that I show in videos can be shown because these locks are not in use and only part of the collection :) no need to worry! Best wishes, Adrian
Haha good one! Yeah at some point you should start thinking about locking up locks but who steals a lock anyway?
Now thats a lock :) bet these things arent cheap mate
The padlocks worth more than my bike, im afraid somebody would steal my bike for the lock
Not sure if they would actually realise that the padlock is worth more but it is possible :P
@@AdrianWeber I didnt realise how much im into padlocks, they are man toys along with guns etc... Bit beyond my pocket, would love to get one someday. I would say it looks expensive even to a lay person, anything with Military spec is cool in my eyes.
Definitely man toys! Since having guns is a bit expensive and coupled with numerous of restrictions in Germany, collecting military locks is just a bit easier for me. If you get what I mean ;) I totally get what you mean!
Yet the lock is worthless without the key 🔑 so stealing the lock alone is just going to get you a paper weight. Cause the company won’t send you the keys just because you have the lock 🔒
LOL I have some good locks in my door too ;) but I will not tell what it is.
Too bad the damn thing is over $2000 dollars lol, but it's the most secure
You can get it on Ebay much cheaper! Best wishes, Adrian
@@AdrianWeber lol 4 years later now one coming in the mail for $600
Edit( not >> now)
@@idkidk4334 Bargain price, good job!
@@AdrianWeber and it really is a bargain because i took it apart to inspect it and all the pieces are in place, and the cylinder is fully pinned and the sidebar is intact and in new condition (even had the original box that says "too be opened by security personnel only)
Thanks Dimitris! You know... you just have to upload ONE stupid video and you get millions of view. But when doing something reasonable you have to fight for every subscriber and every view haha! I will continue fighting though and I am happy for every subscriber. Hopefully I will have 1mil views and 1000 subscribers one day. If that happens I will do a BIG quiz with some cool prices.
Interesting info my friend and thanks!
amazing lock I am jealous
Hey ben, you can find them on ebay sometimes so just take a look! Best wishes, Adrian
It’s probably easier attacking the chain, lol
Hey Panda, this particular kind of lock is actually used with a special hasp called the NAPEC hasp. Which makes it impossible to move around and you have to attack it from the side facing towards you. Which makes it VERY difficult! Best wishes, Adrian
Thanks again for that great info! I will make sure to write it down and mention it in the future, thanks again my friend and feel free to subscribe anytime you want to :)
$1,500??? HAHA The ONLY way they can get away with that price is because they're selling it to the government. 😅
I won't disagree :D
Thanks, yes I like it very much :)
I want to play with your core lol
Ähm yeah Matthew, well.. let me think about that for a second... No :P
It's funny how you cover up the numbers like anyone in the world could figure out where you live or what that lock is attached on if anything. Lol
Hey bryant, I do not need to "cover up" things as you can look for me and my company online. German companies need to have an imprint by law. You can find my phone number and personal address there. Feel free to call or come by for a cup of coffee if you want :) Best wishes, Adrian
btw...awesome padlock friend! :D
Thanks Ben it is a keeper for sure :)
thanks mate :)
Great Vid.
Hey Chris, thanks for the heads up man!
