Resetting Your Combination Lock

Once you've opened your humidor, we recommend setting a new memorable combination:

1. With the lock open, push the locking button to the left until you see the locking tongue inside the keyhole (you'll feel a click).
2. While holding the button in this position, rotate the dials to your desired new combination.
3. Release the button to lock in your new code. Test it 3-4 times before closing your humidor.

Pro Tips for Combination Lock Success

• Work in daylight - Natural light makes identifying grooves much easier
• Record your code securely - Use password managers or physical journals
• Avoid obvious combinations - Skip sequences like 000, 123, or 777
• Test thoroughly - Open/close your humidor several times before reloading
• Annual maintenance - Apply graphite lubricant for smooth operation
