Resetting the Code / Combination

From a Lost Code

Important: There is no procedure for finding an unknown

combination from the front of the lock. A lost combination must be

cleared by removing the combination chamber from the lock

housing, then a new combination can be set.

1. Remove the back plate from the front lock housing by removing

the six back plate screws.

2. Lift the chamber linkage (A) off of the control shaft (B) by

prying up with a small flat blade screwdriver (see figure 1).

3. Remove the shaft bushing (C).

4. Remove the combination chamber (D) by removing the two

Phillips head screws (E) at each end of the combination chamber.

5. Remove the chamber cover (A) marked Ilco Unican (see figure

2) by gently tapping the lip of the chamber cover at the control

shaft end of the chamber (A) (see figure 3) with a screwdriver to

detach it from the staked joints (B).

6. Lay the chamber on its side as shown in figure 4.

7. With tweezers, or other tool, slide the "e" ring (B) off the

unlocking slide stud (A) (see figure 4), then gently lift the end of

the unlocking slide (C) over the unlocking slide stud (A).

Note: The unlocking slide (C) is under spring tension and will be

easier to lift if pushed to the left to ease tension. Swing the

unlocking slide (C) sufficiently to clear the gears (D), no further

than shown in figure 5.

8. Depress the lockout slide (E). The gears (D) are now free to

rotate (see figure 6).

9. Turn each gear (D) so that the gear pockets (F) are aligned as

in figure 6.
