You just turn the collar all the way, enter the new combo, and turn it back.

On the end of the lock where you insert the free end of the cable turns clockwise about 90 degrees. Turn, enter new combo, Return to original position. Took few minutes to figure it out though. No instructions were included in the package.

I'll be honest as I don't remember and would have to refer to the instruction sheet that came with the lock.

You are supposed to have to lock in different position to put in your new combination. I tried it and it didn't work. I had to use bolt cutters to free. I got a different one from the same company. I used the default combination.

You should be able to just put in your combination and the lock will unlock. Is that not your experience?

Changed any number of times. It comes with a metal stick that one pushes into the hole that the "U-bar" clicks into. This allows you to change the combination.

I tried to reset the combination but the directions state that the factory sets the combination and the user cannot change it.

I believe that the initial combination is all zero's (000). The combination can only be set with the "key door" unlocked. You then have to turn the last wheel to the left which does not have numbers so that the word "reset" is in line with the combination notch. At this point with the key door closed you should be able to reset the combination and then open the key door. If you do not remember what the combination was when you received the lock you may have to contact Kidde and return the lock to them so they can reset the combination for you.

If it is on the combination, push the unlock button towards the numbers (opposite of opening) and hold while you move numbers to desired combination. Then push button in opening direction and you're set.

The directions to change the combo came on a single page with the box. If you lost it, look online to compare pictures of the exact locking mechinism model your specific safe came with (I'm not 100% sure if every safe uses identical lock models). Once you found the locking model number download a new set of instructions from the manufacturers website. Furthermore, I couldn't find clear instructions on how to locate the module that holds the combos in order to reset them in the event they were compromised, or you want to change them. To find that module you must have the safe door open, and nothing in the pockets. There are several Philips screws holding the fabric liner around the border of the safe door. Remove them all and remove the liner. The module is behind it. Than follow the model specific instructions retrieved from the Web to clear the memory and reset the lock mechinism codes back to stock.

Hi There,We don't advise that you try and change the combination as it is tricky and more often than not the change does not work properly. Your best bet might be to use a local locksmith. You can however change the combination yourself with a change key that we have at our factory. If you wish, we could send out the key to you at no cost but your warranty on the lock will be void.Sincerely, Blue Dot Safes

It's fairly simple. Take the back off exposing the the springs. There are red and blue metal pieces that set the lock. If I remember right it's the red that means it will be a combination number and blue isn't. Each piece needs goes in one way or they won't work. After you put the red ones in the holes of the numbers/letters you want. Blue in the rest then simply screw the back on with springs in place. Your code is set. Order of entry doesn't matter when entering the code

Wow, thanks for asking this question. I never thought of that, and that fact that the combination has to be set to close the lock helped me choose not to buy this lock. Thank you.

I am sure there might be a way you can reset the combination. It should be in the instruction manual.
