Typically, briefcases come with random numbers as combination locks. These random numbers can be remembered easily but can also be guessed easily by thieves, as many codes are standard between manufacturers. However, for you to be able to secure your briefcase, you need to choose a special combination that would be difficult to guess. You can do this by resetting the default combination to a new combination code of your choice. If you don’t know how to do this, here is a simple guide on how to set your combination lock on your briefcase. • Open your briefcase. You need to open your briefcase using the default combination lock. You can do this by turning the numbers and pushing the button to open the case. • Look for the reset mechanism of the lock. Usually, briefcases have their reset mechanism as a single button or pin. There are some who have two buttons in them. If your briefcase has the single button, you can just push it and hold it there. • Enter a random combination. You need to test the lock before you input your desired combination. Choose a random combination that is easy to remember. • Close your briefcase and test it. Turn the lock in another value to see if it will open. This should not open the briefcase, because you have stored a different combination. After checking it, turn the numbers with your combination and it should open right after you pushed the button. • Change the lock to your desired combination. You can now change the lock of your briefcase to your desired combination that is easy to remember, but hard to guess. If you want, you can use your birthday or your address. Make sure that you take note of your combination code for reference in case you forget it.
