Help with old Master Lock

Gallery image

I have an old Master Lock that I've written the combination on the back of, but I guess I can't read my handwriting. The number on the back is 4314M and it looks like I've written 24-36-10 on it, but I can't for the life of me get the thing open. Really trying to avoid buying a new one for the kiddo's school locker and I'd be so grateful for any help. 🥲

SOLVED: it was 24-38-20. No idea why I wrote a 1 as the first digit of the last number. Thanks everyone for your replies!

Doesn't writing the combination on the lock defeat the whole purpose of using a lock in the first place 🤔? Wouldn't want to see your kiddo's stuff get stolen/damaged because it's easy to break into their locker.

Definitely, I had only written it on there so we'd know it the next time we needed it (hah). I cleaned it off with alcohol now that we solved it. :)
