Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup:
- Ensure the padlock is unlocked (factory setting is 0000).
- 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).
- With the lock open, set the dials to your desired 4-digit combination.
- Use a small tool (like a pen tip) to push the reset mechanism back to its original position.
- 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.
