To provide enhanced long–term security, Master Lock has discontinued imprinting a serial number on the lock body on combination locks sold through retail locations. For greater convenience, we encourage consumers to store their combination at our secure website, Masterlockvault.com, which is easy to use and offers 24/7 access. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide combinations for non–serialized locks. Please see examples of a serial number if you are unsure if your lock features one.

As a courtesy, Master Lock customer solutions group can issue you a replacement tool free of charge. You will need to supply the model number or an image of your lock. Please contact us to submit your request.

We will not provide lost combinations if the lock is attached to anything.

To locate the lock's Activation Code on the instruction sheet included in the lock packaging:

Remove the instruction sheet from the box packaging.
The Activation Code is located on the upper left side of the instructions.

For security purposes, the only way to open the lock is to use the combination. Resettable combination locks have a combination that is assigned by the owner of the lock. Therefore, Master Lock does not have record of the combination that the owner set.

Lubricate your locks with a lock lubricant.

99% of the time the lock is working perfectly, but consumers have forgotten their combination. If you believe your lock is defective please visit our Contact Us Page and fill out the contact form. A customer service representative will contact you within 48 hours.

For wheels that are hard to turn, we recommend using a WD40 for cleaning or washing the moisture out of a padlock but a good lubricant needs to be applied afterwards.

No. Master Lock does not reimburse for locksmith charges.

Your product is equipped with a disc cylinder which has the particularity to bring more security against picking.
