There is a method of decoding cheaper dial combo locks, but I'm not sure if it'll work on a brinks.

And why is this in random banter?

There's a bypass section for locks like this, but I guess the way this forum is set out it'll be in the recent stuff at the top so everyone will check it out anyway. If you post something in future and don't get any responses straight away though, it'll fade away... especially when the title has no real info in it.

As for getting the combo, you'll need a very thin piece of spring steel like a strip of feeler gauge. I'm assuming you want to recover the combo anyway, there are ways to open these locks without decoding them but I doubt a simple push bypass will work on a brinks. I'm not even sure if you can decode the one you have, but there's only one way to find out. Look for the Peterson mini knife in google images, find some feeler gauge and cut it to that sort of shape. As long as it's thin enough to slide into the gaps on either side of those wheels it'll work just fine.

It's very similar to single-pin-picking. Just put opening pressure on the shackle and feel for the wheel that's tightest. Rotate it until you feel it "give"; it becomes suddenly a lot looser. Then go for the next, and so on. the lock will open as soon as the last wheel is set.

or use a mini knife to feel for the "gates" in each wheel
