The '''8088''' is a [[UL 768]]-rated [[combination]] lock made by [[Sargent & Greenleaf]]. It is rated for 30 minutes of protection against [[Safecracking#Manipulation|manipulation]] and radiological attacks, and 10 minutes of protection against surreptitious attacks. There are no defined protections against destructive entry in the 8088 specifications.

The 8088 was developed in the 1950s for the United States government through one of Sargent & Greenleaf's government contracts.<ref>{{Ref Tobias LSS}}</ref> It has since been superceded by the [[S&G 8077]] and the [[S&G 8065]].

__TOC__

== Principles of operation ==

The 8088 is a combination lock that requires three numbers be correctly dialed into the lock for the shackle to be released. It uses three internal wheels and a fence-type mechanism similar to those used in traditional combination [[safe]] locks. The dial has fifty graduations numbered 0-49, giving the 8088 a total of 125,000 (50<sup>3</sup>) theoretical [[Differs|permutations]].

The 8088 functions very similar to traditional rotary [[combination]] safe locks. It uses a set of wheels, a drive cam, a fence, and a mechanism which resembles a butterfly. The butterfly hooks into the shackle, restricting its movement. When the correct combination is dialed the wheels and drive cam are properly aligned under the butterfly. Pulling the shackle causes the butterfly to collapse and pushes the fence into the gates, releasing the shackle.

The opening index mark is location at 12 o'clock on the face of the lock. The changing index, used to reset the combination, is located at 11 o'clock. All combinations are a three number sequence that ends with 0, for example 24-10-40-0 and 42-28-9-0. The last number is required to set the drive cam in the proper position. The factory combination is 25-0 (25-25-25-0), but older models may use 10-20-30-0.

'''Notes'''
* The dial of the 8088 may be stamped with a two digit number to prevent casual replacement of the lock.

== Opening instructions ==

These instructions use an example combination of 10-20-30-0

# Dial counter-clockwise four full revolutions, stopping on 10.
# Dial clockwise three full revolutions, stopping on 20.
# Dial counter-clockwise two full revolutions, stopping on 30.
# Dial clockwise to 0.
# Pull the shackle to unlock the padlock.

To dial the factory 25-0 combination (25-25-25-0), all wheels are dialed counter-clockwise four times, stopping at 25. Then dial clockwise, stopping at 0. Pull the shackle to unlock the padlock.

== Combination change instructions ==

# Unlock the lock using the correct combination.
# Hold the change key hole open while returning the shackle to the locked position.
# Dial the original combination, aligning each wheel with the changing index.
# Insert the change key into the change key hole and turn in 90° clockwise.
# Dial the new combination, aligning each wheel with the changing index.
# Turn the change key 90° counter-clockwise and remove it from the lock. Do not close the change key hole!
# Dial the new combination to the opening index and open the lock. Open the lock repeatedly to ensure the new combination works before closing the change key hole.

'''Notes'''
* The opening index is at 12 o'clock, the changing index at 11 o'clock.
* Incorrectly dialing any wheel to the opening index and closing the change key hole during step 3 will render the lock non-functional.<ref>Sargent & Greenleaf, Inc. [http://www.wheelpost.com/Documents_PDF/8088_instructions.pdf 8088 Padlock: Operating Instructions]</ref>

== Disassembly instructions ==

The 8088 cannot be disassembled non-destructively. Four retaining rods around the lock body must be drilled to allow the back cover to be removed. Rods are located at 2, 3, 9, and 10 o'clock on the back of the lock. The pins at 3 and 9 o'clock are horizontal while 2 and 10 are vertical.

== Vulnerabilities ==

The 8088 may be vulnerable to one or more of the following:

* [[Decoding]]
* [[Bypass]]
* [[Destructive entry]]

A U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission memo from 1982 has the following to say:
<blockquote>
Obsolete Combination Padlocks
[...]
The current NRC-acceptable combination padlock is Sargent and Greenleaf Model 8077A. Its predecessor design was identified as Model 8088, appears to be currently available and is in use at some licensee facilities. The Model 8088 units can be easily defeated, do not meet the terms of Executive Order 12356, are not approved by GSA, and are not acceptable for the protection of either classified material or safeguards information.<ref>[http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/gen-comm/info-notices/1982/in82046.html Information Notice No. 82-46: DEFECTIVE AND OBSOLETE COMBINATION PADLOCKS] United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Office of Inspection and Enforcement. 1982-11-26. Retrieved 2012-03-22.</ref>
</blockquote>

'''Notes'''
* Decoding is possible through both manipulation and radiological attacks.
* Semi-destructive decoding is possible, particularly drilling the lock body and viewing the wheel pack or fence.

CamelCase: /* Keep in mind */ - fixed two spelling errors

=Help:Editing=

This page holds information for Lockwiki editors. Thanks to everyone who contributes!

==Formatting==

Lockwiki runs on MediaWiki, so check out MediaWiki's [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Editing Help:Editing] page. [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Wikitext_examples Help:Wikitext_examples] is also an excellent source of syntax help for Mediawiki. See [[Help:Contents]] for an overview of Lockwiki specific help on certain topics.

The general format for Lockwiki pages is a title, short summary, and subsequent sections of various key points of the topic. Inline images may be used, depending on the content of the article.

== Editing ==

General guidelines for editing pages:

* Only link the first instance of a keyword on a page, and only if it is a major or relevant topic.
* When linking, use substitute text to remove any strange characters. For example, [[Legal_Issues|Legal Issues]] not [[Legal_Issues]].
* When creating a new page, use underscores (_) instead of spaces for the page name.
* Avoid overlinking (the use of too many non-major or irrelevant page links).
* Avoid overcategorization (the use of too many unecessary categories).
* Use an include for pages that use large charts/tables. ([[Legal_Issues|Legal Issues]] is a good example.)

==Keep in mind==

; Changes to your edits are not personal attacks
: Assume good faith when changes to your edits occur. Edits are made with the intent of expanding or clarifying the page, not as personal attacks. If a disagreement occurs, do not immediately roll-back or re-edit the page. Instead, use the associated talk/discussion page to discuss it with other editors. Follow the Dispute Resolution Process (below) if discussion does not solve the problem. If you are the person making a change to another's edit and you feel that it may be controversial, please provide rationale in your update message explaining why the change was made.

; New pages do not need to be final drafts.
: Creating a new page is great, but try to add more than just "edit me!" However, you do not need to provide a complete, polished page when the page is first created. At the very least, try to provide a basic summary, and some placeholders for future information that should be on the page.

; Creating dead links is OK
: Adding links to pages that do not exist yet is OK, but only if that page is necessary and not covered elsewhere. As an editor it is your responsibility to check related pages for similar information. If a new page is necessary, please create it and update associated pages to point to it instead. Use the talk pages to discuss drastic changes with other editors beforehand. If the dead link points to a major page, please remember to add it to the [[Lockwiki:Map|Lockwiki Map]].

; Jargon is OK, slang is not
: Physical security has many jargon terms, all of which are acceptable on this site. Slang, however, should be kept to a minimum, and preferably not used if you can help it. If you don't know the official or appropriate term for something, use the talk pages to ask other editors for clarification.

; Do not plagiarize
: Lockwiki does not condone the use of copyrighted materials on the site unless you are the original author of the work or can provide a release form allowing us to use it. Make sure to use your own words when referencing other pages during editing.

==Finding pages to edit==

The following are good places to go if you want to look for something to edit or create:
* [[Lockwiki:Map|Lockwiki Map]]
* [[Special:Wantedpages|Uncreated pages]]
* [[Special:Wantedcategories|Uncreated categories]]

==Dispute Resolution Process==

In the event there is a dispute regarding the accuracy, syntax, layout, legality, or necessity of a page, please remain civil and follow this process to resolve your dispute. Do not attack other editors or start a rollback war.

* Discuss the change with the other editor; attempt to come to a resolution based on fact or a compromise.
* Use the talk page to discuss the dispute with others. Attempt to find an unbiased third party that can support the facts or rationale of one side.
* Use the talk page to perform a survey (for changes unrelated to accuracy, such as layout).
* Contact a sysop, [[User_talk:Datagram|datagram]] or [[User_talk:Legion303|Legion303]], for mediation or a final decision.
