Sometimes the difference is not 5 from the grooved spots. In this case, you can try to increase the numbers after adding 5.
For example, if 636 does not work, try to add 6 to the three numbers. Then the code is 747 and attempt to unlock the lock. Continue to add 7, then 8 to try, until it can be opened.
