Abstract
A shackleless padlock system is provided which includes a lock mechanism having a cylindrical body both protruding from one end thereof with a key-operating locking pin which retractably protrudes from the lock mechanism from a first to a second position for selectively engaging portions of a padlock body in order to either provide bolt engagement with the pad-lock body or for guiding a lock mechanism within the padlock body. Access to the locking pin in order that the lock mechanism may easily be removed and replaced with a different lock mechanism.
