The Master Lock chart references the key cut to the lock serial number Your organization may find it useful to keep records by serial number of which employee is assigned a specific lock Please contact Master Lock Customer Service to define and order your Master Key System at 800-308-9244. The combination for your lock is either: - Placed on the back of your lock OR - Handed out to you by your school The combination is made up of three numbers - When entering your combination, you must enter the numbers in the order shown on the combination tag. The combination for this lock is: 38-16-22.
Identify if your master lock has a serial number. A serial number is 6 digits. If there are only 4 digits, it is a date code and not a serial number. The serial number may be located on the back or bottom of the lock. If you have a “Set Your Own Combination” lock, you cannot retrieve your lost combination, even if you find a serial number. After getting all three numbers, I advance or decrease the numbers until I find the 'Center Numbers' to open the shackle again. Write the combo on sticky paper attaching them to each combo lock. When I come across someone who needs a Master Combo Padlock, I offer them the used ones in exchange for their old ones.
