1. A lock assembly comprising:
- a lock body;
a shackle;
a locking member configured to selectively lock the shackle relative to the lock body;
at least one combination dial rotatable between various combination positions, the at least one combination dial associated with the locking member and configured such that entry of a given series of combination positions causes the locking member to unlock the shackle relative to the lock body;
