Single-dial combination locks are often found in schools.
Various types of combination locks provide ways of securing your luggage while you travel or protecting your belongings inside a locker or briefcase. Single-dial locks are commonly used to secure high-school lockers and are opened by turning the dial to the various numbers in the combination. Multiple-dial locks are opened by turning each dial to the correct number in the combination. These locks are usually found on briefcases and some padlocks.
