3. Setup: Setting Your Combination

Your SURE LOCK comes with a factory default combination of 0-0-0. Follow these steps to set your personalized combination:

1. Ensure the lock is set to the default combination (0-0-0) and the cable is unlocked. Press the side button to release the cable.
2. Locate the small reset switch on the bottom or side of the lock (often indicated by a small hole). Use a pen or a pointed object to push this switch to the right.
3. While the switch is held to the right, rotate the dials to your desired 3-digit combination. Choose a memorable number.
4. Once your new combination is set, release the reset switch by pushing it back to the left. Your new combination is now saved.
5. Important: Scramble the dials immediately after setting your combination to ensure it is locked. Test your new combination to confirm it works correctly. It is recommended to write down your combination and store it in a safe place.

5. Maintenance

• Keep the lock clean and free from dirt or debris. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
• Avoid exposing the lock to extreme temperatures or harsh chemicals, which may affect its functionality or finish.
• Periodically check the cable and lock body for any signs of wear or damage. If significant damage is observed, consider replacing the lock.

6. Troubleshooting

6.1. Lock Not Opening with Correct Combination

• Ensure all three dials are perfectly aligned with your set combination. Sometimes a slight misalignment can prevent opening.
• Verify that you are using the correct combination. If you have multiple locks, ensure you are using the combination specific to this lock.
• If the lock feels stiff, try gently wiggling the cable while pressing the side button.

6.2. Difficulty Setting New Combination

• Make sure the lock is set to the current (or default 0-0-0) combination before attempting to push the reset switch.
• Ensure the reset switch is fully pushed to the right while setting the new numbers. It should click into place.
