Combination Padlocks

A combination padlock removes the problem of distributing and losing keys, which is why it is preferred on shared lockers, stores and site points. The catalogue holds 9 models in 3 and 4 dial versions.

Number of dials and body

The number of dials sets the number of combinations: 1,000 on a 3-dial lock and 10,000 on a 4-dial. Three dials suit low-risk points such as lockers and cases; four suit stores and outdoor use.

Physical resistance comes from the body, not the dial mechanism: brass and aluminium bodies for outdoors, zamak indoors. On most models the combination can be reset by the user, and resetting it after any handover is advisable.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Three dials or four?

    A 3-dial lock has 1,000 combinations, a 4-dial 10,000. Three is enough for lockers and cases; four is preferred for stores and outdoor use.

  • Can the combination be changed?

    On most models, yes, by the user. Resetting it whenever the lock changes hands is recommended.

  • Is a combination lock more secure than a keyed one?

    Physical resistance comes from the body material and size, not the mechanism. The advantage of a combination lock is that it removes key loss and key distribution.
