What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026

This padlock opens by pressing raised buttons instead of spinning a dial, so a student with low or no vision can open it by touch. The buttons are numbered 1-5 down the left column and 6-0 down the right. It arrives with a 5-digit combination already set, and you press the button for each digit to release it. That combination can't be changed, so it's a good fit for a school locker only if sharing or remembering a fixed code works for you.
