It takes several attempts to open the lock when I dial the combo. What is wrong?

You may be dialing the combo with one of the numbers slightly off. Stand directly in front of the dial to make sure that the numbers line up with the index mark. On most combo dial locks, there are two marks on the dial ring. Use the vertical line at the 12 o’clock position. If you continue to experience difficulty, this may be a sign of a slight problem starting to develop.
