[ISLMA-Share] Breakout EDU locks getting reset - I'm getting disillusioned!

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

We've run into issues, especially with the directional locks.  They have a
strange method of resetting the code and several teachers have *thought*
they've set a new code, but instead appended the new code to the existing
one.  For example, if the old code was Up Down Left Right, and the new code
they wanted to use was Down Up Right Left, the actual code ended up being
Up Down Left Right Down Up Right Left.  So if you know the previous code as
well as what the new one should be, try that.

I've tried disassembling the locks to manually set the cylinders, but I
haven't come across a one-way screw extractor that fits the recessed
one-way screw on the lock casing.  If anybody has found one that fits,
please share!
