Listen up, folks! The key to opening a combination lock is to remain focused and keep a steady hand.

After you purchase a lock, you’ll need to look on the back of it to find a set of three numbers. These numbers are the combination code, so be sure to remember them.

Now, it’s time to open the combination lock. Let’s say your combination code consists of the numbers 4-14-5. Kick things off by rotating the dial clockwise three times. This resets the lock so that it's ready for you to open.

Then, rotate your dial clockwise to the first digit in your code — in our example case, that's the number 4.

Follow up by turning the dial counterclockwise for a full turn, passing your first code digit (our example being 4) and then stopping on your second code digit (our example being 14).

Next, you’ll need to turn the dial clockwise and stop at your third code digit (our example being 5).

Now, you should be able to pull the shackle and open the lock. Pull the sticker with your combination lock off the back and discard it.

Now you can place your items in the locker, close the locker, and then push in the shackle to lock your items. For extra safety, tug on the shackle to make sure that it's locked properly.
