4. Setup: Setting Your Combination
Your WANLIAN 5-Dial Letter Combination Padlock comes with a factory default combination. It is highly recommended to change this to a personal combination for security.
Default Combination:
The default combination is MATCH. Align the letters 'M', 'A', 'T', 'C', 'H' with the indicator line on the lock body to open it.
How to Reset Your Combination:
- Open the padlock by setting it to the current combination (default is MATCH). The shackle will pop open.
- With the shackle open, rotate it 90 degrees counter-clockwise (or clockwise, depending on the specific unit, until it clicks into a setting position).
- While holding the shackle down in this rotated position, set your desired new 5-letter combination by rotating the dials. Ensure the new letters are aligned with the indicator line.
- Once your new combination is set, release the shackle and return it to its original closed position. Your new combination is now set.
- Scramble the dials to lock the padlock. Test your new combination to ensure it opens correctly before securing any valuables.

5. Operating Instructions
To Unlock:
- Rotate the dials to align your personal 5-letter combination with the indicator line on the lock body.
- Pull up on the shackle to open the lock.
To Lock:
- Close the shackle by pushing it down firmly into the lock body.
- Scramble the dials to a random set of letters. This secures the lock and prevents unauthorized access.
6. Maintenance
- Keep the padlock clean and free from dirt or debris, especially around the dials and shackle mechanism.
- For outdoor use, periodically check for any signs of corrosion and clean as necessary.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials for cleaning, as this may damage the finish or internal components. A damp cloth is usually sufficient.
- If dials become stiff, a small amount of graphite lubricant can be applied, but avoid oil-based lubricants which can attract dirt.
7. Troubleshooting
Padlock will not open:
- Ensure the correct 5-letter combination is perfectly aligned with the indicator line.
- Check if the shackle is fully pushed down before attempting to open.
- If you have forgotten your combination, there is no master key or override function. The lock cannot be opened without the correct combination.
Dials are stiff or hard to turn:
- Clean the dials and the areas around them to remove any accumulated dirt or grime.
- Apply a small amount of graphite lubricant if necessary.
- Extreme temperatures (especially cold) can sometimes affect the smooth operation of the dials.
