A friend who knows i'm into locks has given me a 4 reel Abus combo'
he has had it for 3 years but still can't open it , now i've been playing
with it for 2 days and i'm wondering if there is any quick way to find the
code , i've pushed , pulled and earned sore fingers and a red raw thumb
top but no joy .
Please help before my fingers fall off ! :cry:

is it one that has a fixed combo from the factory or is it one that you can set yourself?

just start from 1000 and count your way backwards t0 0001.(or vice-versa)
it takes a while, but you systematically exhaust all possible combos....
