A few months ago, my nine-year-old son wanted to buy a [amazon_link id=”B00004SQLJ” target=”_blank” ]combination lock[/amazon_link].   We purchased a traditional lock, where you have to follow the correct sequence to open spinning this way, spinning that, passing the number, back the other way, etc.  Both my children had great difficulty learning to master it. Then we lost the combo and haven’t had time to look it up.

Actually, looking up combination passcodes was one way I helped my mom in the summer months. She was a middle school vice principal,and I would sit in her office with the book of serial numbers and attach the combinations to the locks they provided to students.   I felt I held the secret to everyone’s lockers!

I remember when I first learned to open a lock.  It was when I got my first locker at school.  I thought I was so grown up because I could open a lock!  How easily we forget this information though when we haven’t used one for twenty years!

Master Lock has created a speed dial lock that is much easier to master.  The [amazon_link id=”B002TSN4SQ” target=”_blank” ]Master Lock 1500iD Speed Dial Combination Lock[/amazon_link]:
