About the Dial
There are two marks on the dial ring (see drawing). The index at
the top is used for opening the lock, The index 30 degrees to the
left is used only when changing the combination.
The dial should always be turned slowly and evenly. A revolution is
counted each time the selected number is aligned with the open-
ing index. DO NOT TURN THE DIAL BACK TO COMPENSATE
FOR OVER DIALING A NUMBER. If, when dialing the combina-
tion, any number is turned beyond the index, the entire sequence
must be repeated.
Locks are shipped on a factory setting of ‘50’. To unlock, turn the
dial to the left (counterclockwise) FOUR turns, stopping on ‘50’.
Then, turn the dial to the right until the bolt is retracted.
Unlocking 3-Number Combinations (For Example, “50-25-50”)
1. Turn the dial to the LEFT, stopping when ‘50’ is aligned with
the opening index, the FOURTH time.
2. Turn the dial to the RIGHT, stopping when ‘25’ is aligned with
the opening index, the THIRD time.
3. Turn the dial to the LEFT, stopping when ‘50’ is aligned with
the opening index, the SECOND time.
4. Turn the dial slowly to the RIGHT until the bolt retracts.
To Lock
Turn the dial to the LEFT at least four full revolutions.
Changing the Combination
Select three new numbers. DO NOT use any number between 1
and 20 for the last number.
For maximum security, do not use numbers that end in 0 or 5, and
do not use numbers in sequence: e.g., ’27-48-86' is not as good as
’27-86-48". Perform the following steps:
1. Dial the existing combination on the opening index (see steps
1-2-3 above, or the directions for opening when on the factory
setting). Open door of container.
2. Dial the existing combination again, using the changing index.
