I realize this isn't a lock at home but at work. We have a storage room broken into and we realized that there are some people that don't work for us anymore that still know the combination to the room and things have turned up missing (and yes, at least one was caught on camera). We have a lock on the door that looks like a Cypher Lock (sorry, I don't know exactly what type it is) - it's got 5 buttons in a row and a nob, nothing more. None of us know how to change the combination but it needs to be changed. Can anyone help me out here?

I'd need a better description but it sounds like an Ilco-Unican Simplex lockset on the inside it should have a small keyway if you have the key, that it actually a screw that is locked in place unscrew it counter clockwise until it'out . Then there is a code change tool that came with the lockset, enter your old code insert the tool turn it clockwise and hold it enter your new code then release tension on the tool. Check and make sure your new code works BEFORE you shut the door. If you don't have the key and change tool i told you about than any locksmith would. I charge a $45 service call for code changes like that. I'd be glad to come change it for you but I also charge $1.50 per mile travel charge and I'm in Dayton,OH.

Considering what you have at stake here, you should not fool around any more and hire a locksmith to either change the combination or change the lock completely. Either learn how to change the combination or have the locksmith change it on a regular basis or as employees leave so this can not happen again. It is also a good idea to change company policy and only allow a select few to have the combination so it does not need to be changed as often.

I don't know how but a locksmith should not have a problem changing the code. We have pool locks like this and get them changed every 2 years. Also go online to the manufacture site and get the manual for it if possible and learn to do it yourself.
