Can You Open A Combination Lock Without The Code?

By: Cam Bugsy

A combination lock is a kind of lock that is not opened by a key but a combination of numbers or symbols insead, and when entered correctly will open the lock. The series may be entered by using one or several rotating dials with engraved markings, more often than not it will be numbers, which directly work along with the locking apparatus. Other combination locks use mechanical or electronic keypads for inputting the series.

A combination lock is used by many people to secure their possessions particularly in offices and schools in which it is quite easy to break into someones locker. Most users of combination locks find it hard to unlock it the first time and it can look difficult, but in reality it is very easy and one can unlock it in a matter of seconds, that is if one know the right combination.

Most combination locks utilize a 3-digit numerical code and every digit represents one number from 0 to 39. Check that you have the right numerical code. It is normally found on the label at the back of the lock or now and then in the packaging. It is better to memorize the code and then remove the label from the lock. Do not reveal your 3-digit code to anyone for obvious security reasons.

Get a firm grip on the lock. Use your thumb and index finger to work the dial located in the middle of your combination lock. Turn the dial to 0 and with your thumb and index finger grip dial. Begin to spin the dial three times until the number 0 is directly level to the arrow that is engraved on top of the dial.

Try the first number once the dial is set to 0, you intend at this instant set to unlock the combination lock by means of the 3-digit numeric code. Let us say your code is 11-20-28. From the initial position of 0, rotate the dial clockwise until the number 11 is pointing towards the arrow.

Now move the dial to the second numeric number. This time, you need to execute two rotations rather than one prior to stopping at the second number. From the number 11, rotate the dial counter-clockwise until the number 20 has passed the arrow sign. Perform the second rotation by turning the dial counter-clockwise but now stop turning the dial when 20 is directly pointing to the arrow mark.

Now for the last number. Move the dial to the third number. The last number on the series is 28, and to get there, spin the dial clockwise until the number 28 is pointing to the arrow. At this time the shackle should have been released off the lock. Open the combination lock by pulling the shackle upwards.

To shut and secure the combination lock. Insert the shackle back into the hole and push it down firmly into place. Next, spin the dial to any number. Check that the lock is actually locked by pulling on the shackle. The combination lock is closed correctly if the shackle did not move.
