FAQs
How do I reset the combination?
With the lock open, locate the reset pin (usually on the side of the shackle base). Use a small tool to push and hold the pin down, dial your new 4-digit combination, then release the pin. Test the new code before locking.
What is the warranty period?
Each lock comes with a 12-month warranty.
Can I change the combination if the lock is locked?
No, you must have the lock in the open position to reset the combination.
Is this lock suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, the lock is constructed with a durable, weatherproof zinc alloy body and hardened steel shackle, making it suitable for outdoor applications like gates and sheds.
How many possible combinations are there?
There are 10,000 possible combinations for the 4-digit lock.
What should I do if I forget my combination?
Unfortunately, if the combination is forgotten and not reset from the default, the lock will need to be cut or sawed open. It is important to store your combination in a safe place.
What is the shackle material?
The shackle is made of hardened steel for increased resistance to cutting and sawing.
Troubleshooting
Lock won't open with the correct combination
Ensure you are dialing all four digits correctly and that the numbers are fully settled in the window. If the lock has been exposed to dirt or grit, try gently cleaning the dials. Try cycling through a few numbers and then re-dialing the combination.
Difficulty setting a new combination
Make sure the lock is in the open position before attempting to reset. Ensure you are pressing and holding the reset mechanism firmly while dialing the new code. Refer to the setup instructions and confirm the reset pin/lever is fully engaged.
Dials are stiff or hard to turn
The lock may need lubrication. Use a graphite-based lubricant specifically designed for locks, applying a small amount to the dial mechanisms. Avoid using oil-based lubricants which can attract dirt. Ensure no debris is lodged in the dials.
Shackle is difficult to open or close
Check for obstructions around the shackle or lock body. If used outdoors, moisture or dirt may be the cause. Clean the area around the shackle and try applying a lock lubricant.

Care:
- Periodically clean the lock exterior with a dry or slightly damp cloth.
- Avoid exposing the lock to harsh chemicals.
- For optimal performance, especially if used outdoors, periodically test the dialing mechanism and consider a light lubrication of the internal tumblers if it becomes stiff (use a graphite-based lubricant).
- Ensure the shackle is fully dry after exposure to moisture to prevent corrosion.
