FAQs

How do I set a new combination?

With the padlock open (using the factory setting 0000), set the dials to your desired 4-digit code. Then, push the reset mechanism back into its original position to lock in the new combination. Finally, close the shackle and scramble the dials.

Can I change the combination if I forget the current one?

No, the combination can only be changed when the lock is open. If you forget your combination, you will need to reset it using the original factory setting (0000) if you have not changed it, or contact customer support if applicable for advanced reset procedures.

What is the original factory combination?

The factory set combination for these padlocks is 0000.

What materials are these padlocks made of?

The lock body is made of solid brass, and the shackle is hardened chrome-plated.

Are these padlocks suitable for outdoor use?

While they have a durable brass construction, prolonged exposure to harsh weather conditions may eventually affect the lock's performance. Regular cleaning and maintenance are recommended for outdoor use.

How many padlocks are included in this pack?

This listing is for a pack of four (4) combination padlocks.

What are the dimensions of the padlock?

The lock body measures approximately 50mm in width, 45mm in height, and 13mm in thickness. The hardened shackle has a diameter of 6mm and an inner opening of 30mm across by 35mm high.

Troubleshooting

Padlock won't open with the correct combination.

Ensure the dials are fully aligned with the indicated line. Scramble the dials and re-enter the combination carefully. If the combination was recently changed, double-check the new code.

Stiff dial tumblers.

Clean the dials and shackle with a dry cloth. Try gently working the dials back and forth. A very small amount of graphite lubricant applied to the tumblers may help, but avoid excessive amounts.

Unable to reset the combination.

Ensure the lock is fully open before attempting to reset. Verify you are pushing the reset mechanism completely. Consult the product packaging for specific reset instructions if available.

Shackle is difficult to open or close.

Check for any debris obstructing the shackle or lock mechanism. Ensure the combination is correctly entered. If the lock has been exposed to elements, cleaning and a tiny amount of lubricant might be necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Keyless convenience with a 4-digit combination.
  • Durable solid brass body construction.
  • Hardened shackle offers good resistance to cutting.
  • Comes in a pack of four for multiple uses.
  • Suitable for a variety of applications like luggage, gates, and boxes.

Cons

  • Combination is factory-set to 0000, requiring an initial change.
  • Brass construction may be susceptible to corrosion in harsh outdoor environments over extended periods.
  • The 6mm shackle diameter might be too thick for some smaller hasps.
  • Relies on user remembering the combination; loss of combination means loss of access.
  • Not designed for high-security applications requiring advanced protection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup:

  1. Ensure the padlock is unlocked (factory setting is 0000).
  2. Locate the reset mechanism, typically a small lever or button on the side or bottom of the lock body (refer to product packaging for exact location if unclear).
  3. With the lock open, set the dials to your desired 4-digit combination.
  4. Use a small tool (like a pen tip) to push the reset mechanism back to its original position.
  5. Close the shackle and scramble the dials. Test the new combination to ensure it opens the lock.

Compatibility:

These padlocks are designed to fit most standard hasps and latches. The inner shackle opening is 30mm wide by 35mm high, and the shackle diameter is 6mm. Always measure the hasp on your intended application to ensure compatibility before purchase.

Care:

  • Clean the lock body with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Periodically, especially if used outdoors, clean the dials and shackle. A light application of graphite lubricant can help maintain smooth operation of the combination mechanism.
  • Ensure the combination is only changed when the lock is open and correctly set.
