1-2-3-4-5? That's amazing. I've got the same combination on my luggage.

After the number is set whilst opening the lock. Saw somebody climbing over the gate as he did not see the button.

Not now it doesn't.

The one with the button was a temporary emergency padlock fitted since some Scrote pinched the previous padlock. A new padlock has now been fitted that does not have a button at the bottom, is easy to read and rotate the numbers.

Whilst here I'd like to take the opportunity to remind cavers visiting the quarry to use clean hands/keys when locking/unlocking any padlocks. By far the greatest reason for padlock issues is the ingress of mud and grit.
