If you have ever been locked out of something or need to access a secure location, a 4-number combination lock is a great way to protect your items.
But how exactly do you open a combination lock with 4 numbers?
The first step to opening a 4-number combination lock is to turn the dial right (clockwise), stopping when the first combination number comes to the opening index the fifth time. After the first number is reached, turn the dial left (counterclockwise), stopping when the second number comes to the opening index the fourth time. Then, turn the dial right again, stopping when the third number comes to the opening index the third time. Finally, turn the dial left, stopping when the fourth number comes to the opening index the second time. After all four numbers have been reached, turn the dial right one last time, and the lock should open!
It is important to note that all of these steps must be completed in the exact order listed. If any of the steps are skipped or done out of order, the lock will not open. It is also important to remember to turn the dial only one full turn in each direction. If the dial is turned more than one full turn, the lock will not open.
It is also important to check the opening index on the lock. This is the small arrow on the front of the lock that indicates which number should be lined up with the arrow when the lock is opened. If the opening index is not lined up with the correct number, the lock will not open.
Finally, if the correct combination is entered and the opening index is lined up with the correct number, but the lock still does not open, it is likely that the lock is jammed. If this happens, it is best to call a locksmith for help.
In conclusion, opening a 4-number combination lock is not difficult if you know the steps and follow them carefully. The first step is to turn the dial right (clockwise) the fifth time when the first number comes to the opening index. The second, third, and fourth numbers should be reached when the dial is turned left (counterclockwise) the fourth, third, and second times respectively. Finally, turn the dial right one last time, and the lock should open.
