Can anyone offer to help me with a Master Lock Keysafe - the type
with 4 combination discs 0 - 9.

Between a neighbour and my own fiddling we have lost the
combination. There is no key in the box. I have prized the box
off the wall to take in indoors for further attempts.

YouTube suggested some trick with a paperclip - but it was to
vague to be of use.

If anyone can help then don't risk posting the instructions -
advice me on this site and I will post my e-mail address.

There are only 10,000 combinations. It doesn't take *that* long to
work through all of them until you find the right one.

Please reply to Newsgroup. Whilst email address is valid, it is
seldom checked.

Now its working sounds like maybe a little oil to lubricate might
be in order.

Not oil. Powdered graphite or dry ptfe lubricant.

_Never_ use oil on locks of this type.

It had been sprayed with WD40 (not an oil!!!) should I try and rinse
it our?

Nothing wrong with WD40 on locks - Yale actually reccommend it by name.
