does this lock require combination to be set to lock it?

No, and when you lock it the combination scrambles. It's a great lock for the price.

Assuming that I fully understand your question: The lock has two combinations. One for the shackle, and another for the Door. The owner should not reveal the shackle combination which is required to change the door combination. Also, you need the shackle combination to remove the lock's upper U shaped attachment from the door.

It has a hold feature on it, that keeps you from accidentally changing any of the settings. If that's not what you need to know, describe what you mean by "lock" and I'll try again to answer your question.

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

The safe I received had the combination preset with no instructions on how to change it but I have read that it is possible with this model... I am not going to attempt that.

There are simple instructions - once the lock portion is removed, there are some rings that can be rotated to set the new combination. It does not come with a key. If you forget the key, grab a sledgehammer.

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.

No i always lock mine. I think it tells you to do that in the instructions.

1- Take latch out of the combination lock. 2- Press the square button towards the three number dials. 3- While holding the square button towards the numbers, rotate the three dials to the desired combination. 4- Release the square button and close the latch. The combination is now set. 5- Move the dials to a different position to provide security.

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.

I'm pretty sure the combination that comes with the lock is set and cannot be changed.

It is a combination only , the key hole is for the purposes of tsa to be able to open it, if they choose, but I later found out that you do not want to use this lock for weapons if that's what you're going to do ( for airports) if you're using it for personal reasons then its ok, I will tell you that the numbers are a little hard to see but not impossible.

I don't know about changing the combination but you can use only the key to lock and open the safe. The key lock only seems easy and secure enough.

That's a great question! I couldn't quite figure out how to open the lock at first, because I thought I had to make my own combination up. But, this lock actually comes with a default combo that we can't change. There should be a metal tag (like a dog-tag) with the 4 digit combination hung around the lock (Hope you didn't throw it away!)

There are a few video tutorials for this on the product page if my memory serves me correctly. You pull the top lock part to the other side, push it down, and then set the combo to what you want. If I remember correctly that was it. It was also on the directions in the packaging. It was easier than I thought it would be.

To the best of my knowledge you cannot change the combination.Also, both the key and combination are needed - the key is NOT an override. I use the key first, then enter the combination. Lynn K.

To lock the safe you need only move the rotary dials with which you unlocked it.Any digits other than the three you programmed in to unlock it will work.To set the dials to your favorite three number combination,follow the instructions provided with the new safe.Once you have opened it, remove the lower lining panel.In back of the lock assembly move the small lever from position"B" to "A" set the number combination desired then move the lever back to it's prior location.I hope this helps you.
