I think I saw some of those, sa L.O.M. Key store. Eto yung store na nasa Greenhills, when you cross the street from the Theater Mall. They specialize in keys and locks.

I'm curious about how these mechanical combination door knob locks work. Are these a variation of Simplex locks? Do they have a full 10-digit keypad or do they use only 5 digits like the Simplex locks? How many numbers can be used to make a combination, and how many possible combinations can be made (thousands, tens of thousands)? Can the combination be changed by the end-user (like in some electronic safes) in case your househelper is not as serious about security as you are? Any pictures of the lock in question?

Does it look something like this:
