Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Locate the reset mechanism on the padlock body (often a small lever or button).
- Set the padlock to the factory default combination (usually 0-0-0-0) or your current desired combination.
- Use a tool (like a small screwdriver or paperclip) to press and hold the reset mechanism.
- While holding the reset mechanism, dial in your new 4-digit combination.
- Release the reset mechanism. Your new combination is now set.
- Test the new combination several times to ensure it locks and unlocks smoothly.
Compatibility:
This padlock is designed to fit standard hasps found on lockers, toolboxes, gates, and storage units. Ensure the shackle diameter and the space within the hasp are sufficient for the 40mm padlock's shackle.
Care:
To prolong the life and ensure smooth operation of your combination padlock, apply a small amount of dry graphite lubricant to the locking cylinder periodically. Avoid using oil-based lubricants, as they can attract dust and debris, potentially hindering the mechanism. Store the padlock in a dry environment when not in use.
