A combination lock can be used to protect your valuables.

A combination lock is commonly used to keep valuables safe. The lock has a dial, which can be moved clockwise and counterclockwise. It can be opened by turning the dial to the three number combination provided with the lock when purchased, in the correct order.

Instructions

    • 1

      Pick up the combination lock in one hand. Using your free hand, grip the dial around the exterior of the knob. Then turn the knob slowly so that the vertical line above the zero is lined up with the arrow.

    • 2

      Turn the dial to the right three rotations around the dial. One rotation is a full circle around the dial. Stop the dial after the third spin, and leave the arrow lined up with the zero.

    • 3

      Review the three number code.

    • 4

      Turn the dial to the right and stop when the dial reaches the first number.

    • 5

      Spin the dial to left, passing the first number and stopping at the second number.

    • 6

      Turn the dial to the right and stop when the arrow is directly above the third number. Pull the hook, and it should release from the dial, allowing you to secure on a chain, locker, or anything you'd like to keep locked.

Tips & Warnings

  • If you do not stop the dial directly at the numbers for your combination, the lock will not open.
