I have a Gougler lock that I found when cleaning out my late uncle's apartment. I have the combination, but I can't seem to get it to open. It is one of the ones that has hard stops if turned far enough left or right with 18 clicks in between. Am I supposed to start at a particular spot before I enter the combination? Is there some way for me to reset the click count before I begin entering the combination?

Combinations for locks with hard stops begin by turning to a hard stop either left or right, based on the first instruction in the combination. If the first direction is right, then you'd turn left to a hard stop before entering the combo, and the opposite if the first direction was left. Hope this helps and you get your lock open soon!

Hello,
I’m new to this site, so I apologise if I have posted this in the wrong location.
I live in the Uk and have recently bought a Gougler Rd201 from the USA.
Unfortunately the lock didn’t come with the combination code.
Apparently the decoding sequence might be found in a “Reed” book or something similar.
If anyone knows how to how decode this lock then I would be very grateful.
The code stamped onto the shackle is A3 208.

Thank you for your message, I have sent a reply.
So we know what we are dealing with here, I will try to attach a picture.

Thank you for the picture! The lock is a different model than I expected and so I might not have the code.. the technique I sent you via PM won't apply to this lock either. I have one of a similar style that I've never opened. Wishing you luck regardless!
