The shift mechanism includes a rotary actuator mounted coaxially with the sleeves and having a portion of its periphery extending through an opening in the face plate of the lock. When the lock is on combination, the actuator can be rotated to move the sleeves out of coupling engagement with the respective dials by a camming action.
