  1. Clear the Lock: Turn the dial clockwise two or more full turns to clear the previous setting. Stop with the indicator at the top.
  2. First Number: Turn the dial clockwise to the first number of your preset combination. Stop precisely on this number.
  3. Second Number: Turn the dial counter-clockwise past zero once, then continue to the second number of your combination. Stop precisely on this number.
  4. Third Number: Turn the dial clockwise directly to the third number of your combination. Stop precisely on this number.
  5. Open: Pull up on the shackle to open the padlock.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and smooth operation of your Master Lock 1500T combination padlock, consider the following maintenance tips:

  • Keep Clean: Periodically wipe the lock body and shackle with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and grime.
  • Avoid Moisture: As this padlock is designed for indoor use, protect it from excessive moisture and humidity to prevent rust or corrosion.
  • Lubrication (Optional): If the dial or shackle mechanism becomes stiff over time, a small amount of graphite lubricant or a silicone-based spray lubricant can be applied to the moving parts. Avoid oil-based lubricants as they can attract dirt.

Troubleshooting

Lock Does Not Open:

  • Verify Combination: Double-check that you are using the correct preset 3-digit combination. The combination is fixed and cannot be changed.
  • Precision is Key: Ensure you are stopping precisely on each number of the combination. Even a slight deviation can prevent the lock from opening.
  • Correct Sequence: Confirm you are following the exact opening sequence: clockwise to the first number, counter-clockwise past zero once then to the second number, and clockwise directly to the third number.
  • Clear the Lock: Always perform the initial two or more full clockwise turns to clear the mechanism before entering the combination.
  • Shackle Pull: After entering the combination, ensure you are pulling the shackle firmly upwards.

Dial is Stiff:

  • Cleanliness: Dirt or debris might be obstructing the dial's movement. Clean the lock as described in the Maintenance section.
  • Lubrication: Apply a small amount of graphite or silicone-based lubricant to the dial mechanism if it remains stiff after cleaning.
