This is a easy way to open a combination lock.

STEP 1: Lock It

Make sure the latch is locked to begin.start by turning the knob to the right 3 times and land on zero.

STEP 2: Start With the First Number

After you turn the knob right 3 times turn it right once more and land on your first number.in my case it's 38

STEP 3: Second Number

Now you are gonna turn the knob to the left.as you are keep your eye on the second number.watch as the number passes the little arrow spin the knob twice landing on your second number the second time

STEP 4: The Last Number

When on your second number turn to the right and land on you third number.now all you have to do is pull the latch!

There are a lot of ways that you can do this. One of them is to listen to the lock and try to hear if their is a click. In order for you to do that you have to have it dead silent.
