Combination for Gougler keyless lock

[ecc601]

I have been trying to figure out how to open this lock for some time. Got some help yesterday on another site but must have been for a different model. Can someone help with the combination? There is no model number on lock but on the back there is a letter and three numbers. Thank you.

Give me the letter and numbers and I'll try to look it up. Mark

The letter is c and numbers are 457. Thank you

Try L8-R2-L5-R4

Do I go all the way to the right till it stops and then start counting and turning left? Thanks Earl If that is what I am supposed to do the lock still will not open.

Earl, for some reason the code list dosn't seem to work for the locks with the positive stop. I checked three of mine and the last three digits are right ,but the first number is off. If you have the time try going through the series. Start by turning all the way to the right then count the clicks or stops L1-R2-L5-R4. If that dosn't work increase the first digit by one and repeat the sequence from the right stop (L2-R2-L5-R4) Then(L3-R2-L5-R4) and so on. It shouldn't take you long to go through the sequence, I'm not sure how large the first number can be, if you would stop at ten or if you could go on up to twenty or more. None of my locks have a first digit higher than ten but I'm pretty sure I've seen some that started with a twelve or thirteen. Good luck and let me know how it comes out. Mark

You were right! I went up to 15 and the was the magic number. It opened and works perfectly. Thank you very much! Earl

Earl, Glad it worked ! I just checked one of my locks and realized that the most clicks from the start going left is eighteen. I really like the old Gougler and Miller locks,pretty simple design but they work so good. Mark
