Master brand combination lock default number?
A long while ago I bought one of the Master brand boxes to store a key in
outside, the type with a little lid and a 4 digit combination lock, I forgot about it till recently, unfortunately I have forgotten the original default unlock number. I have tried the obvious ones (0000, 1111 0123, 1234 etc.), but the question is has anyone got the packaging or remember the default number for the lock. B and Q sell them, as do screwfix, toolstation etc. mrcheerful |

Start with the wheel which has most resistance upon it, whilst pressing the lock apart. -- Regards, Harry (M1BYT) (L) http://www.ukradioamateur.org |

Combination locks usually are set as 0000 as default. If you have lost it and it's a 4 digit lock, , the combination is 10x10x10x10 or 10,000 posible combinations - rather more that 20 mins I suspect. Dave |

I'll have to visit ba nd q and hope there is one already open. At the moment it is taking the place of a rubiks cube, everyone trying combinations!! mrcheerful |

Cheap combination locks are easy to suss As was mentioned before, you can feel the positions if you put the lock under a bit of pressure -- geoff |
