Gougler keyless padlock combination?

**wylk** · 02-08-13, 04:55 PM

This is just my impression, but the Gougler/Miller locks made for institutions (such as Westinghouse or school lockers) used "private" codes which were supplied to the customer, rather than the "public" codes used on locks sold in stores. As such, it's unlikely that the combination might be discovered via a codebook such as Reed's.

Could you post some pictures of the control key you have? Those are fairly rare.

Thank you for posting , Wylk!

A very well known poster here helped me out IMMENSELY with my original query, the poster solved one of the combos (the Miller, surprisingly). The Gougler is a work in progress... I'm pretty sure we have the proper numbers, as I've had it open 2 times but was not concentrating well enough to catch what I did!!! LOL I love these locks! I've now collected enough of them to where I can honestly say that I have a, "Gaggle of Gouglers". ... I'll stop there, but there are more!

I remember reading a report-card of mine from early grade school... "David works and plays very well with others, he demonstrates strong leadership abilities, but (...like in his schoolwork), does not apply him self."

So sure! I love to share my toys!

Some of the photos are blurry, but you will get the idea.

First the key, then the process, showing that the shackle is not spring loaded and the lock is not key retaining. When you close the lock with the key in it, the key snaps back to the starting position.

Any questions or need of better photos, I'll be happy to help!
Have a great weekend!

Hello All....

This is my first post....

I have a Gougler keyless lock from around 1970...I used it with a chain for my bicycle lock.....see pic...it's still attached to the chain!!

Although I can remember my Dudley combination from high school....10 yrs. earlier....I have forgotten the Gougler combination.

Mine has a number only on the hinge side of the shackle..... F7226.

No numbers on the back of the lock itself except the Patent #s 1,825,467 & 1,929,598

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It's not that the lock is valuable of course, just that I would like to use it on my current bike...for nostalgic sake.

Thanks!

Hello all,
junker here & I'm finally back. First I'd like to apologize. I know it was back in 2013 I reached out on this forum for help with my Miller Keyless lock. If you go back and read this thread from the beginning to refresh your memory, you will remember it was a roller coaster ride for myself getting this lock open. But not only did I get it open, I took it apart & completely learned how it worked mechanically. I promised some pics of the inside & a video of me disassembling it. Well I guess it's better really really LATE, than never. I am attempting to post them now. Thanks again to all! Ask any questions or for particular pics if you wish.

The images appear to be on a site (Google) that requires a login to access them. Could you upload to this forum as well?

I do apologize. I always seem to have problems uploading pictures. I am using an iPhone, as I do not have a desktop. This is partly the reason it has almost been 2 years since I was originally suppose to post these pictures. I will try my best!
