The Chubb Mark IV Manifoil combination dial safe lock has been installed on many Government containers and cabinets, It is a combination dial lock that has been the Australian Governments security standard for many years.

The Manifoil MK4 is a high level security combination dial lock, its lock sophisticated moving parts in the lock mechanism such as a pair of lead shields to prevent X-ray examination. The MK4 lock has the same appearance as a standard combination lock, but the four number combination is always dialed in the same way, five times clock wise to the first number, four anti-clock wise to the second, three clockwise to the third, two anti-clockwise to the fourth then turn clockwise about half a turn until it opens.

Even though there are four numbers in the combination, only three are relevant and settable. The fourth is fixed and will always be 0 for a right-swinging lock or 25 for a top-swinging lock.

You will require a key when securing a combination on an Manifoil mk4 lock. This change key is unique to a Manifoil MK4 and it is inserted through the small covered flop on the back of the lock cover.

A guide is set to follow when changing a Chubb Manifoil MK4 combination lock.
