Setup: Setting Your Combination
Your lock is factory preset to open at 0-0-0. To set your personal combination, follow these steps:
- Ensure the lock is open and the dials are set to the default combination (0-0-0).
- Locate the reset button or lever on the side or bottom of the lock. This is typically a small, recessed button that requires a pen or pointed object to press.
- With the lock open, press and hold the reset button/lever firmly.
- While holding the reset button/lever, rotate the three dials to your desired personal combination. Choose a memorable sequence of three numbers.
- Release the reset button/lever. Your new combination is now set.
- Scramble the dials to lock the shackle. Test your new combination by dialing it in and attempting to open the lock.
Important: Remember your combination. There is no master key or override function if you forget your chosen code.
Operating the Lock
Opening the Lock
- Rotate the three dials to your personal combination.

Maintenance
The Samsonite 3-Dial Combination Lock requires minimal maintenance. To ensure its longevity and smooth operation:
- Keep the lock clean and free from dirt or debris, especially around the dials and shackle mechanism.
- Avoid exposing the lock to harsh chemicals or extreme temperatures, which could damage the materials.
- If the dials become stiff, a small amount of graphite lubricant can be applied, but avoid oil-based lubricants.
Troubleshooting
Lock Will Not Open
- Verify Combination: Double-check that you have entered the correct 3-digit combination. Ensure each number is precisely aligned in the center of the viewing window.
- Dials Stuck: If the dials are stiff, gently rotate them back and forth to loosen any debris. Do not force the dials.
Difficulty Setting New Combination
- Reset Button/Lever: Ensure the reset button or lever is fully depressed and held down throughout the combination setting process. It should click or feel firmly engaged.
- Shackle Position: Confirm the lock shackle is fully open before attempting to set the combination.
