How to Figure Out a School Locker Combination

Entering high school means more books and the need for a locker. With the lockers comes combinations that may be difficult for new students to remember. Almost every high school student has forgotten their locker combination more than once. The problem with that is you must go to the office to get the combination code, which takes time and then you end up late for class. There is a way you can figure out your locker combination without leaving your locker.

Instructions

1. Take your standard combination lock and hold it in your hands. Put one finger on the clamp (the U-shaped part that comes out of the lock) and make sure you are holding it up. This is important, so keep that clamp up.

2. Turn the dial to the right steadily until you hear a click. Then turn it to the right two more numbers. Use the little dashes and count each one as one number, so go over to the right two dashes. That is your first number.

3. Turn your dial to the left now until it stops. Go at an even pace and you will notice when it stops. That is the second number.

4. Turn the dial to the right until the lock opens. Make sure you are still holding the clamp up. If you aren't, it won't open.

Tips & Warnings

• The whole key to opening a combination lock is to hold the clamp up while working the dials. Don't neglect this step.

• Don't use this trick to get in to anyone else's locker besides your own. That is trespassing and invasion of privacy.
