A combination locking mechanism, particularly a strap lock that is secured via a rotary combination dial mechanism, is disclosed. The lock mechanism includes a clasp and a clasp receiver, and when locked, the clasp engages the clasp receiver creating a loop. The clasp receiver includes two sections, a body, and a latch member, both contained within a housing and creates a shear line between them. When the combination lock is in a locked condition at least two pins straddle the shear line and when in an unlocked condition the pins do not straddle the shear line. Contained within the body is the combination dial that includes a digit wheel and a pin receiver. After the user rotates the digit wheel to set a code for the unlocked condition, any other digit combination will put the lock in a locked condition.
