Jim.

Jim, Try R4-L8-R7-L2-R4. Pull up on the bail when you dial in the last digit as there is no spring open feature on these locks. Let me know if this works, Mark🙁sweat):

Jim Casey

unfortunately, no luck. 🙁 :=(:

Jim, I’m not doing so good with the last few requests. Does the lock have a positive stop when you turn the dial right or left ( it might take 2 turns) ? Mark

Jim Casey

Hi Mark,
I know, it’s not an exact science. LOL. No, there is no positive stop in either direction.

Jim, you did start from zero, correct? If you did and it didn’t work try ,from zero L4-R2-L2-R4. Mark

Jim Casey

Yes, I had started at zero. and this new combo didn’t work either. (I noticed this code only has 4 numbers in it, but the last had 5. is that normal?)

Jim I’ve been playing around with your 4 digit number on the bail. 6129 is supposed to be R4-L8-R7-L2-R4 .Reed also has codes for 3 digit numbers,I dropped the 6 and went with 129 which is supposed to be L4-R2-L2-R4. Two other codes you might try are R14-L8-R7-L2-R4. If that dosen’t work try R8-L8-R7-L2-R4. All of these codes would start from zero. Let me know, Mark🙁-:

Jim Casey

Still No go. 🙁 what about the 3562 code on the body? can that help? perhaps the one in 6129 should have been a 7?? is there a 6729?
thanks jim.

Jim, unfortunetly the Reed codes for 4 digit numbers the last 3 digits are in the 125-249 range. The 3 digit numbers the last 2 digits are 00-74. If it were me,( and I have plenty of time at night to tinker around) I would go with the 4 digit and start it with R1-L8-R7-L2-R4 and if that didn’t work, bump the first number up by 1 and repeat(R2- etc) For some reason the codes I’ve found that were off were usually in the first digit. You may have to go up to 18 on the first digit. If that dosn’t work I don’t know what else to try,sorry. Mark:s:

Yeah, that didn’t work either. 🙁 does anyone know how to pick these open? is it possible?
thanks for the efforts anyways mark.

Mark, I have three regular master and american padlocks that I need combos for as well. what is the procedure? do I have to take three different pictures of them? or will one picture with all three in it do?
thanks.
Jim.

Jim, I don’t have any codes for the master or american locks. Also these locks are still made and in use today, so I’m not sure if Merlin wants to put out working codes on a open web site. Maybe he’ll step in and give us the official verdict. Mark

Jim Casey

Hi Mark,
Oh ok, not a problem. I do have an old set of the reed codes on Microfiche, so if I have to, I’ll dig out the machine and look them up myself. (just tryin to save time LOL)
Thanks.
Jim.

I would have to agree with the no posting of active code series. As both those are still active and in production I would have to pull them until admin tells me otherwise. My suggestion is to take all of them to a locksmith and see if you can get a bulk deal (several codes for less than a single).You never know what you can get until you ask. Several of the combo from both companies never showed up in the Reed books.

Oldbiscuit and Halflock are correct. The main focus must be on Antique / Historical issues and must admit that although this is a legitimate aspect for collectors it does have a security implication when discussed publicly.

Jim Casey

Not a problem at all. I AM a locksmith, and do have the reed code series, but it’s on Microfiche and haven’t needed to use it in a long time, I was just seeing if I could save time, but it makes sense. As a locksmith AND collector, sometimes the line gets a little blurry. My bad. :x:

Not a problem Jim. Being a Locksmith and a collector myself it is something we have to keep in mind. (We are a sick bunch aren’t we, to collect what we work with!)🙁giggle):
