How many combinations are possible? (i.e., how many stops for each wheel inside?) 10 stops/wheel would be like a 4-digit combination lock. Is that so?

Hi Picodon, some say it is 7501 mechanically possible states. Take a look at this for more info: http://www.h-i-r.net/2010/01/review-master-1500id-speed-dial-lock.html

No you cannot,each lock has it's own key unfortunately. I numbered all mine to make it a little easier.Kind of a pain,but I love the locks so I didn't know what else to do. Good luck

No,I wouldn't.The company would be out of business because of that,ask yourself to me it doesn't make any sense, every wheellock has it own key made for that product or wheellock. Thankyou Charles

All the locks have are not keyed the exact same. I think there is 5-6 different key combinations. But there is no way to tell from the outside of the container which one they are...

I am surprised when others said that the wheels don't lock. I purchased 2 of them less than a year ago and there is a lock on 2 wheels out of 4 wheels. It's small knob with on and off

Just over a thousand combinations. I've seen somewhere on the net displayed all the combinations, it must be a very patient thief to crack the code. If this safe was bolted to floor, it would be very difficult to pry up due to the box rounded edges.

4 switches each with 2 positions. This leads to quite a few switch combinations, so maybe try various switch positions.

The wheels do have locks. But, this is a very basic unit and the wheels, not being a very high quality, do not really move of their own accord at all. It stays put on its own. I have never used the locks, nor have I tried to remove them so I can't answer that. But I think they just slipped in so maybe they can be. You can always just not install them.

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.

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.

You create your own word for the lock and can change it yourself. It comes with a word combo but you can change it as many times as you like to any 4 letter combination. Hope this helps!

Try all zeros and try one number +/- on each of the four digits from what you "think" is the correct combination. If that fails, depending on what is inside, you can either try all 10,000 combinations OR attack it physically. If it is empty, I would just throw it out!

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

if you want to lock all 3 wheels you'll need two packs obviously. All 3 lock with the same key. Installation is easy, in fact I wouldn't even call it installation - just insert like you would a quick-release skewer and use the key to tighten. FYI the seat lock doesn't fit my seatpost collar, so it was a bit useless - depending on the design of your bike you might encounter the same...

Highly unlikely, otherwise thieves would do the same thing.Also, it is not recommended to use more than one of these per wheel (use the lug nut complete system instead).

Yes and it works with 8 too. This wheel is the best set Ive ever had. And Ive had it for going on 5 years with HEAVY usage. Still works like new. This will be the best wheel investment you will ever make.

The unit is mechanical so it really only hold one combination. But the combination can be entered in any order. For instance, if you set your combination for something like 1489, you can enter it in any pattern you like (8941, 4891, and so on). You can also push any number twice. so if it's easier to remember that number as some ones phone number 814-9841, it will work also.
