Combination locks are amongst the easiest options, through which you can keep your belongings safe and secured in a locker. The most common type of combination locks, found at most of the places, includes a round dial that can be rotated both clockwise and anticlockwise, past marks that represent numbers zero to nine. While the lock is the most reliable option for keeping your things secure, you need to know its three digit number code and the way to open it. In order to help you out, we have explained the ways to unlock combination locks, in the lines below.
How to Open Combination Lock
- Let us suppose that the unlocking code of your combination lock is 129.
- The first step is to hold the combination lock in one hand and use the free hand to clasp the dial in the center, using the thumb and index finger.
- The next step is to turn the dial in such a way that the vertical line above the number zero is directly proportional to the arrow mark at the top of the lock.
- Now, twist the dial in a clockwise motion from left to right in three full rotations until the number zero is once again lined up with the arrow mark.
- Rotate the dial a little more to the right and stop when the arrow mark is pointing to the number 1.
- Then move the dial anticlockwise from right to left past the number 2 once and stop when it’s directly below the arrow mark on it the second time around.
- Twist the dial in the right side and stop when the arrow mark points to the number 9.
- Now, pull up the shackle to open the lock. The shackle would come out easily, if the combination was properly dialed.
