The Master Lock model 1500iD differs from other padlocks in two ways. First, instead of using the normal numerical wheel face, the 1500iD uses a button that can be shifted in only four directions. Second, the lock can be reset to any combination of button presses that you desire. Of course, you will need to know the original combination before you can reset it.
