FAQs
How do I set a new combination?
First, open the lock using the current combination. Then, locate the reset pin (usually on the side or back of the lock body). Turn the dials to your desired new 4-digit code. Use a small tool to push and hold the reset pin, then turn the dials to set your new code. Release the pin. Your new combination is now active. Please refer to the included instructions for specific details.
What is the shackle diameter?
The Rhino Lock Secure Lock features an 8mm shackle.
Is this lock suitable for high-security applications?

What materials is the lock made from?
The lock is constructed from a strong, weather-resistant aluminium alloy.
Can I reset the combination if I forget it?
No, if you forget the combination, it cannot be reset without physically breaking the lock. It is crucial to remember your chosen code or to store it securely.
What is the warranty period for this lock?
Rhino Lock offers a 2-year manufacturer replacement service on this Secure Lock.
Does the lock come with instructions?
Yes, detailed instructions for setting and adjusting your personal code are included with each lock.
Troubleshooting
The lock will not open with the correct combination.
Ensure each dial is firmly set on a number. Try jiggling the dials slightly while attempting to open. Check that the combination has not been accidentally changed. If the combination was recently changed, double-check the new code.
The dials are stiff or difficult to turn.
Clean the dials with a dry cloth. If the issue persists, apply a small amount of graphite powder or a silicone-based lubricant specifically designed for locks into the dial mechanism. Work the dials back and forth to distribute the lubricant.
The reset mechanism is stuck.
Do not force the mechanism. Ensure the lock is clean and free from debris. Gently try to turn the dials while pressing the reset mechanism. If it remains stuck, contact customer support.
Rust or corrosion is visible on the lock.
Gently scrub away any surface rust with a soft wire brush or steel wool. Clean the lock thoroughly and apply a rust inhibitor or lubricant to protect the metal. For persistent corrosion, consider replacing the lock.
