If you own a Master Lock with a 3-digit combination and need to set it up, this easy guide will walk you through the process step-by-step.
Why Use a 3-Digit Combination?
A 3-digit combination is an affordable and secure way to keep your valuables protected. It provides enough combinations that guessing the correct one is extremely unlikely, while being simple enough for most people to remember.
What You Will Need
- Your new Master Lock with its default “000” combination
- A tool such as a paperclip or pen
- Patience!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Start with the lock open and the default combination (“000”) set.
- Turn the dial clockwise (to the right) until it stops at zero.
- Next, turn it counter-clockwise (to the left) once around all three times so that on your fourth time around, stop on your desired first number of your combination code.
- Again turn both ways: clockwise past second number mark then counterclockwise directly back to second digit position for third digit setting
- Once at desired third digit rotate only in clockwise direction & continue ‘til notch catches
- Twist shackle side-to-side & Test lock several times
Keep in mind that resetting a forgotten code can be difficult once done improperly or without attention to all steps in order so make sure you take note of your intended pass-code when performing these initial series of steps!
