HOW TO OPEN A SCHOOL-ISSUED LOCK:
If you have never learned (or just have forgotten) how to use a combination lock, please read the following carefully.
Suppose you were given the locker combination 15 – 40 – 10. Here's how you would open it:
Step 1: Start by rotating the dial clockwise (to the RIGHT). Turn the dial at least two full turns past zero,
Step 2: Stop when you get to the first number. (In this case, 15)
Step 3: Now turn the dial counter clockwise (to the LEFT).
Step 4: Continue to turn counter clockwise one whole turn past the first number and stop at the second number. (In this case, 40)
Step 5: Now turn the dial clockwise again (to the RIGHT) towards the third number. Stop at the third number. (In this case, 10)
Step 6: Pull the lock down and make sure the dial is not turning.
To lock it again, insert the shackle into the lock and press it into the lock until it clicks. Then spin the dial any direction.
