American Combo lock

Postby enThrall » 4 Oct 2005 19:06

Hola peoplez! I'm looking for some help on opening this American padlock. It is a combo lock that many schools use. Don't worry, this one's from my friend and he lost the combo. Can you guys tell me a way to figure out the combo? Or even change the combo? I can pick open the lock on the back, but still, no combo. So plz help me help my friend reuse his combo padlock.

Thanks! :twisted:

You might be able to take the lock to a locksmith and have him give you the combo. I know I have gotten some combos by getting the serial off the back and typing it into my code program. Especially american. Good Luck.

The subtlety and elegance of lower case letters is lost on some.
