Challenge

Hey there, I'm Garland Candlesticks! I could really use your help with something.
You see, I have this important pamphlet in my luggage, but I just can't remember the combination to open it!
Chris Elgee gave a talk recently that might help me with this problem. Did you attend that?
I seem to recall Chris mentioning a technique to figure out the combinations...
I have faith in you! We'll get that luggage open in no time.
This pamphlet is crucial for me, so I can't thank you enough for your assistance.
Once we retrieve it, I promise to treat you to a frosty snack on me!

Garland Candlesticks gives you following hint as well:
Check out Chris Elgee's talk regarding his and his wife's luggage. Sounds weird but interesting!

Solution

Of course we watch Chris Elgee's talk regarding his and his wife's luggage first.
Let's first take a look at the help window on how to operate the lock.

We can try it with one or two wheels to familiarise ourselves with the operation. Then we select 4 wheels, press Space twice or three times to generate a little pressure and turn each wheel several times, noting where resistance occurs again and again.

We repeat this for each wheel until we have found the right combination and the lock opens.

Garland Candlesticks tells us afterwards
Wow, you did it! I knew you could crack the code. Thank you so much!
