There is only one combination possible.
If you went through every possible permutation, you would have 6! = 6*5*4*3*2*1 = 720 to try.
However, if, for example, the third key worked on the first lock I hope you would not try the fourth, fifth and sixth keys on the first lock. So he total number of attempts will be much smaller. Bearing that in mind 16 attempts is the maximum you would need.

How many combinations are possible for a six-digit lock?
Assuming each "digit" actually has 10 different states, there are one million combinations possible in a six-digit combination lock. However, many combination lock designs actually have fewer than 10 different states per "digit", resulting in far fewer actual combinations on such locks.

How many 3 number combinations are there in the numbers 1 to 6?
I'm not confident that my calculations are correct; I'm withdrawing my attempt. My guess is that if repetition of numbers is allowed, and if the order of the numbers is important (663 is distinct from 366) then there are 216 possibilities. With repetition but no particular order, I think the number is 186 possibilities.* * * * *Combinatorial theory is based on the premise that the order of the numbers does not matter. So that 234, 243, 432 are all the same.If no repetition is permitted, there are 6C3 = 6*5*4/(3*2*1) = 20 combinations.If repetition is allowed,there are a further 6*5 = 30 combinations with a pair and a singletonand another 6 triplets.All in all 56 combinations.Although NOT strictly part of the answer, the number of permutations (order DOES matter), without repeat, are6*5*4 = 120and finally, if repeats are allowed, the number is 6*6*6 = 216 as in the previous answer.However, remember that "combination" locks are a misnomer and in mathematics the order does not matter in combinations.
Why are combination locks so called when they are in fact permutation locks?
They are called combination locks because that is the general, conventional term used. Trying to call them permutation locks is mixing different areas of usage together and that is not valid.

Are all locks different?
In reality no. With mechanical keys there is a limited number of possible combinations, but as long as they're sufficiently mixed up and no one knows which goes where it's considered safe enough. No burglar is going to carry around several hundreds of keys for each brand of locks in the blind hope that one of them would work.
