You have to have a combination. If you have a key lock you don't need a combination, all it is is a lock that says master and a key to turn it and then it opens what you have in it.
You can crack a 3-digit combination lock by sequentially trying every possible number. Writing down and keeping track of every number used will help avoid confusion and speed up results.
Joseph Loch invented the modern combination lock in 1878.
There is no way to unlock an IKEA Gallant combination lock without the actual combination. The combinations are preset prior to purchasing the lock.
How to reset the number??
call dealer with serial number
i want to reset combination lock with new number while the padlock is locked
Yes
contact sentry safe company give them the serial number model number and they should be able to give you the default number but this will only help if you didn't change the lock combonation.
You don't. By definition a combination lock has no key, and thus there is nothing to "pick." Picking a lock refers to mimicking the role of a key in a lock. A combination lock has no key, and thus cannot be "picked."
A locksmith will be able to provide the combination from the code number stamped on the back of the lock.
Many combination locks have three numbers associated with them. A combination lock that has the middle spinner unlocks like this: Turn the dial to the left past the first number and then to that number the second time. Then turn the knob to the right to the second number. Finally turn the knob back to the left to the third number. This unlocks that type of combination lock.
First of all, even though we call them "combination locks" they are not combination locks. In fact, there is no such thing as a "combination lock", that is if you pay homage to the actual, technical meaning of the word "combination". The word combination implies that order is irrelevant, which is not the case on a combination lock. The numbers for the "combination" have a particular order, and that order makes the difference between the lock opening or not. Just because you get the numbers correct doesn't mean the lock will open unless you get them in the right order, too. A combination lock is more appropriately called a permutation lock. Now, you want to know the number of permutations for a combination lock. This is a much more precise question. The next thing we need to know is whether or not repeats are allowed. In combination locks it is generally the case that repeats are allowed. One number does not effect the next number. Not only do the number of possibilities remain constant for each number, but which values they can possess also remains constant. Say for example we have a combination lock with three numbers to be set. Suppose that each of those can be the numbers 0 to 29. In this case, if the sequence 5, 6, 3 is distinct from 6, 3, 5, then we have a permutation lock. Not a combination lock. If the two sequences were the same, if both opened the lock... then its a true combination lock indeed. If the lock can open to 5, 5, 3 then repeats are allowed. This lock has 30 unique values for each number in the sequence: 0-29. And it has 3 numbers in the sequence. If repeats are allowed then there are 303 = 27,000 permutations. If repeats are not allowed then there are 30P3 = 24,360 permutations.

A combination lock is not the same as a padlock. A combination lock could be in a padlock. A padlock can use different lock mechanisms, including a combination lock.
