To find a lock combination you are required to pull up gently on the shackle. Generally we hold the lock with the shackle on top and dial faces us, and the locking mechanism is on the left side of the shackle.


But in case you lose or forget the combination to the lock to open it, situation becomes very tense and can be very frustrating at times as no combinations means no access to your possessions. Combination Locks are capable of securing items within any home or place. The one number that does not fit the pattern is the final number in your combination.Combination locks are used on various occasion for varied purposes. Most of the numbers will fit a pattern, for instance all ending in 5.You should have four or five numbers written down. Proceed all the way around the dial, writing down all the whole numbers where it catches.Lock combinations are always whole numbers. If the middle number is not a whole number, such as 28.5, do not write it down. For example, the range might be between 27.5 and 29.5. The lock will also catch partway between numbers.This is not necessarily the final number.

For instance, if the lock catches between 33 and 35, write down 34 on a separate piece of paper. The lock will catch several times, allowing for slight movement back and forth between two numbers.Apply upwards pressure on the shackle and turn the dial clockwise. Spin the dial clockwise a few times to reset the lock and set it at 0. A different method for finding the third number is to test the catch.
