SOURCE: Need to change the combination
Hi Don,
Got these instructions from: >>>> http://www.indra.com/archives/alt-locksmithing/hobbit.html >>>>
"Once you know the current combination, you might want to change it.
Instructions for doing this undoubtedly come with the lock; but it's real
easy. There is a screw in the top with a hex hole; remove this from the lock
body. Dial the proper combination, but don't move the handle. Press straight
down through the hole with a small screwdriver, until you feel something go
"thunk" downward. The lock is now in change mode. Reset the tumblers
[leftward twist], enter your new combination, twist the handle as though
opening the lock, and your change is now in effect. Re-insert the screw.
This does the following: The thing you hit with the screwdriver pushes the
tumblers down onto the locking bar [which is why the proper combination must
be entered], and disengages them from their idler gears. Button presses turn
the *idler* *gears* around, and then the opening action shoves the tumblers
back up to mesh with these gears in their new positions. A subsequent reset
mixes the tumblers up again to follow the new combination. This description
is admittedly somewhat inadequate; the right thing to do is take one of the
locks apart and see for one's self what exactly happens inside."
Hope this helps. If it does. I'd appreciate a 4 thumbs up. Thanks,
Handie Andie
