Resetting the combination is as easy as removing the face plate, turning the set screws behind each number to the desired new combination. Simple as that.

Here is a link showing how to set/reset the combination. Fast forward to the 1:20 point in the video for the directions. The GE lockbox is basically the same that you have. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkzodNGRmrk

Rotate the little arrows on the side opposite of the push buttons by 180 degrees . Turned one direction that number is part of the combination and the other direction the number is not included. A small, thin, flat blade screwdriver works well to turn the little arrows.

Open the cover and remove the plastic card that covers the inside mechanism. Each button has a screwdriver slot which can be turned to set it as an active button (use the tab on the card as a screwdriver). Anywhere from one button to all buttons can be activated. The active buttons can be pressed in any order to open the unit. You must enter the code to close the box as well as to open it. This assures that you know the combination so that you don't lock yourself out.

The combination is set from behind the number buttons. its very easy. Just make it a combination you can remember.

Spin the dial clockwise twice to reset everything. Carefully enter the combination. If you miss the number, do not go back. Spin the dial a couple of times and start over. Rotate the handle clockwise and open the door.

As I remember my locks came set on zero waiting for my combination to be set. If the one that won't open was set to another number and the key pulled then the only way to open it is to try every possible combination. I'm sure Amazon will replace it as defective.

Hi Vicky. While there are 10,000 combination possibilities the reset button is on the inside. You will need to contact Masterlock and id the product with the serial number unique to you, which is in place for your security. They are very helpful in getting what you need. I hope it works out.

To set the combination you slide tab that normally opens the hinge in the opposite direction and you hold it while you set the numbers you want. Don't let go until you get the numbers you want otherwise the combination will be off. To test it. Lock the box back and try your combination. When you buy the box there is a piece of paper with directions on it if I'm not explaining it properly.

Open it, flip the switch inside, on the bottom right hand corner, enter new combo, flip switch back, close it, scramble the combo it is now locked. enter new combo to open.

First ensure the combination is correct. Sometimes you do have to pull and wiggle it a bit to open it. If it really can't open then perhaps you were sent the wrong combination.

when you have the combination part off hold both ends and turn counter clockwise pull end off. Then pull the number rings off and then put the rings back on with the numbers you want over the slot. Then put end back on Clockwise and you are done

They should all open on 000. If two do and one doesn't, it sounds like someone changed the combination. Either try all the possibilities or send it back.

A tool is included with this lock to reset the combination. All 175 and 178 models include the same reset tool. To reset the combination, the lock must be in the open position, set to the current lock combination. If the lock is not set to the current combination, you will not be able to reset to a new combination. The reset tool is not a key to open the lock.

Hi, I had the same issue. I followed the instructions, set it to 000 and was never able to properly set the combination. Now I have a useless lock.

Pull top up on narrow end opposite the combo side. The directions are slide dirt guard cover up to reveal combo lock. Make sure top is shut. For choosing combo first time Set combo dial so reads 000. Line up numbers with groove that is midline by dirt cover(also groove lines up with line that shows where pieces were fit together on lock). Now slide reset dial to same position lining groove on reset dial with midline groove on lock. Choose new three digit combo. Now slide reset to top of combo (closest to ge symbol). Hold number dials in place while moving reset dial up to maintain your chosen combo. To reset again follow same directions but start with your three digit combo. Pls note reset dial can be stiff first few times.

Yes you can change the combo and re-key the lock. There are no instructions on how to change the combo but it is possible. After some trial and error I was able to set mine to the combo I desired.

There are about 1000 total possible combinations. However, you can only set one at a time.

I wish I could answer that! I have forgotten and have forgotten my combination. I know I wrote all this down "somewhere" and hopefully will find the information before traveling again. Sorry!! P.S. I had no trouble with my lock, but my husband's lock stuck and then did not recognize his combination.
