Just break off the hook part -- you don't really need it for its locking purposes.... Wink

And its not doing you much good now anyway, huh?

Reply #13 - 10/06/09 at 20:28:55 On the cheapie luggage locks with the U hasp you open it, turn the hasp 180° push down then change the combo. That one I suspect would be similar. open it, force the hasp backwards from normal opening, and change the combo.

Nope,... the hasp is fixed,... open/close no rotate, no push down, no pull up, and nowhere to push a pin or press... 3 dots on the back are solid rivets...
It has had me bufflufled for months...

I've had it sitting on my desk here, since I bought it... I know there's a way,...
I don't even have a use for it,... I only bought it, 'cause I couldn't figure it out in the store... no instructions...
but.... Undecided
