So I have the 8088 one. Patent number 2625032. With 49 on the dial. Apparently 25-25-25-0 or 10-20-30-0 in any sequence doesn't work. Locksmith told me they have to be radiologically hacked, if they are newer. Best is to toss the newer ones because if one loses the reset code from the box or the papers. The unit is useless. Another thing is the reset access slide is stuck half open someone must have jammed the shackle shut.
Great info! This was the first lock I ever bought. I got it at a yardsale. Can't imagine I paid much more then a couple of bucks (I was only like 10 years old) I could have sworn it had a normal keyway on the back, but who knows? I never opened it....though I wrote a letter to Sn'G asking for the combo, but they never responded. I wonder why? I told them the truth. Thankfully this only reinforced my love of locks.
Yeah but the US sellers wont sell it to Germany. I tried like 4 times gettin one of those and I am not talking about the cheapy ones. I am talking about the ones in good condition with change key and the original box. I contacted he seller and all of them declined to ship to Germany. Well next time I'm gone get one for sure :D
This video is quite old by now (11 yrs), but this padlock is still fascinating.
ALWAYS wondered what that round slide on the back did! Rube Goldberg designed the operation of this padlock.
Really Nice Lock 🔐Alex & Great Video. Keep up the great work. Nick.
If you like, I can keep a lookout for an affordable one on Ebay... say around US$60 or less? Or would you prefer the 8077?

I have an identical lock, same model number, same US markings, but mine goes: Right - Left - Right - Left_to_zero
for some reason mine didn't work doing that
nice lock alex

Guarantee you can't hack the dial 49 model. Defaults are on a card.
that thing would be a drive cam
Hey Alex let's trade some locks 😁
