Seeking Gougler/Miller Combo Padlock Codes

[gregt]

Mark, For your records, I have another older Gougler round pad lock and dial that has a serial number A1204. it is only a three digit combo, and starts from a right direction dialed number. The combination is: R6 L5 L2 Thank you for your help on the other lock combo. Greg

It worked perfectly, thank you so much.

From what I can find it should be L6-R2-L5-R3 starting from zero. If the lock has a positive stop when turning the knob to the right it gets a little tricky. With a positive stop the last 3 combo numbers should be correct but the first number is probably wrong. Start with L1 then R2-L5-R3 if that dosn't work increase the first number and repeat (L2-R2-L5-R3). You shouldn't have to go any higher than 18 on the first number.Hope this works for you,please let us know how it works. Mark

L7 R2 L5 R3 works! Thanks

Greg, I'm glad I could help you out. the Gougler code list isn't always that accurate. I've got two that have the factory tags with the working combos that don't match up with the code list. Mark
P.S. Are you a collector of padlocks?

Hi Mark, I'm a watch collector, mostly old pocket watches, (from early fusee, to repeaters, to railroad) but along the way I bought groups of things that had padlocks too, so I'm not really a collector of padlocks, but I have about 10 that I have, including two bank vault time locks, the Gougler locks and other key type really old padlocks.. The Gougler you helped me open was in a drawer in my shop for at least 25 years, waiting for the happy ending yesterday. Thanks again. Greg

Hello...I also have a Gougler keyless lock where the dial is as large as the body. It also has a left and right stop. The code on the back is C7230. Does anyone know the combination or where I could look? I also have a Gougler lock with a key override (the kind of key that can't be duplicated) and it has a code on the shackle of 173. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! Darrell

[I have a Gougler Red Dot Combination lock also. It has 464 stamped on the hasp and no stops when you turn the dial. Any Ideas about the combination? Thanks!

At a yard sale I bought two Gougler and two Miller combination locks. None of them have any stops. I sure would love to have the combinations!
Gougler locks have numbers 764 and 256 on the shanks.
Miller locks have the numbers 05253 and 05273 on the backs.
Thank you very much!!

Hello.

I recently found an old combo lock made by "The J B Miller Keyless Lock Company".
After many days of random attempts, and many days of systematic incrementation attempts, I must seek help before I "must seek professional help".

The lock is the typical red dot center dial, 0 - 19, positive click/stop on each even number.
There is no end or absolute stop when turning either direction.
The back of the lock has a rolled edge, and no rivets or welds, and no keyholes.
On the right hand side of the case is stamped " F 78 "
On the inside curve at top of shackle is a "38" or "88", hard to see its well worn.

Is there a combo patern for this lock listed, or some place I could look for a range of combos to try.
My fingertips are getting numb from the effort, and it is becoming an obsession to solve this lock.

Thanks for any help.

Patrick,That's not enough to go on. It should have a 3 or 4 digit # on the bale in order to determine the combo. Try rubbing a little oil over it and shine a light sideways across it to see if you can make out the numbers any better. If you can get more #'s I might be able to give you the combo. It would be an act of futility to try and manipulate. Good luck, Mark
