49-25-45 My locker combo in sixth grade. It was locker #96. That combination of numbers fascinated me then, and it has ever since. I’m still waiting for another chance to use it. -Lil ---

I could not tell you the combo to my locker at work, even though I open it a dozen times per week. I have to be in front of the lock to figure it out, then I couldn’t even tell you after that. I open it by turning to certain position relative to the multiples of 5 printed on the dial. Plus, I think there is about 3+/- marks of “play” in my lock, so I don’t even need to come close to get it open. Only secure thing my lock has going for it is that I have to pull on it at least 3 times or so to get it to unlatch. Some one trying to “hack” my combo would surely not spend the time to pull 3 times on each possible combo. hehehe 🙂 ---

Try 978-671-0948, funny thing is, it only works on phones. No I don’t have any plans for Friday, why do you ask? ---

Ah, **susan\_foster** beat me to it. Masterlock (and possibly other major padlock manufacturers) at one point had an arrangement with hardware stores to provide the combos for forgetful owners. ---
