Field Gate Lock
The gate lock is being damaged due to forcing, either open or closing.
To close the lock, (1) ensure the dial is set to the numbers of the combination, (2) firmly insert the shackle into the lock case, and (3) spin the dial at least once to a random number.
If you can’t spin the dial to open the lock, push up lightly on the bar holding the lock. This will take the pressure off the lock shackle.
Never force this kind of padlock!
