Instructions

1

Find the three-number combination on your lock's packaging and put it in a secure place.
2

Dial clockwise to the first number, spinning the dial at least three times. For example, if the combination is "25-12-36," turn past "25" three times until the mark at the top of the dial rests on "25."
3

Note the second number and turn counterclockwise one-and-a-half turns. If the combination is "25-12-36," pass "12" once, then turn another complete revolution.
4

Turn clockwise to the final number. Using the combination "25-12-36," spin directly to "36."
5

Pull downward on the lock, and the left side of its shackle will pull loose. You may have to push up slightly and then pull down.
