Resetting a Tumi 007 Lock
Step 1: Clearing the Lock
To begin the resetting process, you will need to clear the lock’s current combination. Follow these steps:
Start with the lock dial set to the current combination. Ensure that the numbers on the dial align with the index line.
Locate the reset button, which is usually located on the bottom or back of the lock. It is a small button that may require a pointed object, such as a pen or paperclip, to press.
Press and hold the reset button firmly using the pointed object. You should feel some resistance as you press the button.
While continuing to press the reset button, rotate the lock dial clockwise or counterclockwise. Rotate the dial until it stops moving.
Release the reset button. The lock is now cleared and ready for the new combination to be set.
Step 2: Setting a New Combination
With the lock cleared, you can now proceed to set a new combination. Follow these steps:
Choose a new combination that you will remember but is not easily guessed by others. Avoid using obvious combinations like your birthdate or sequential numbers.
Set the dial to the new combination. Ensure that the numbers on the dial align with the index line.
While keeping the dial set to the new combination, push the shackle or latch down firmly.
Release the shackle or latch, and the new combination is now set.
Step 3: Testing the New Combination
To ensure that the new combination is properly set and the lock is functional, test it by following these steps:
Set the dial to the new combination. Ensure that the numbers on the dial align with the index line.
Pull up the shackle or latch to unlock the lock.
Once unlocked, rotate the shackle or latch back to its original position and ensure it is securely closed.
Test the lock by attempting to open it using the new combination. If the lock opens successfully, the new combination is set and working correctly.
