1. A combination lock, comprising: a rotary latch configured for rotation between a locked position and an unlocked position, the rotary latch being rotatably secured to a housing of the combination lock, wherein the rotary latch rotates in a first plane; anda bolt configured for movement between a first position and a second position along a second plane the second plane being oriented at a different location than the first plane, the bolt engaging the rotary latch in the first position such that rotation of the rotary latch from the locked position to the unlocked position is prevented, wherein the bolt is movably mounted to the housing, wherein the combination lock is a key-controlled combination changing permutation lock wherein a button disposed away from a rear exterior surface of the housing in a first direction rearwardly away from the rear exterior surface is depressed in order to change the combination of the combination lock and the housing has a button protection feature extending rearwardly away from the rear exterior surface of the housing in the first direction proximate to the button and the button protection feature extends farther away from the rear exterior surface of the housing in the first direction than the button. 2. The combination lock as in claim 1, wherein the rotary latch is spring biased into the unlocked position and the rotary latch is partially received within a portion of the housing. 3. The combination lock as in claim 1, wherein the bolt is spring biased into the first position. 4. The combination lock as in claim 1, wherein the first plane is perpendicular to the second plane. 5. The combination lock as in claim 1, wherein the rotary latch engages a hasp of a frame of a locker and the bolt only engages the rotary latch. 6. The combination lock as in claim 5, wherein the hasp is a closed loop of metal. 7. The combination lock as in claim 6, wherein the closed loop of metal extends in a plane parallel to the second plane. 8. The combination lock as in claim 1, wherein the combination lock is a key-controlled combination changing permutation lock. 9. A locker, comprising: a door pivotally mounted to a frame of the locker, the door having a front surface and a rear surface;a hasp secured to the frame;a combination lock mounted to the door, the combination lock comprising a rotary latch configured for rotation between a locked position and an unlocked position, the rotary latch being rotatably secured to a housing of the combination lock, wherein the rotary latch rotates in a first plane; anda bolt configured for movement between a first position and a second position along a second plane the second plane being oriented at a different location than the first plane, the bolt engaging the rotary latch in the first position such that rotation of the rotary latch from the locked position to the unlocked position is prevented, wherein the bolt is movably mounted to the housing, wherein the combination lock is a key-controlled combination changing permutation lock wherein a button disposed away from an exterior surface of the housing in a first direction rearwardly away from the exterior surface is depressed in order to change the combination of the combination lock and the housing has a button protection feature extending rearwardly away from the exterior surface of the housing in the first direction proximate to the button and the button protection feature extends farther away from the housing in the first direction than the button, wherein the exterior surface of the housing, the button and the button protection feature extend from the rear surface of the door and the button is not accessible from the front surface of the door. 10. The locker as in claim 9, wherein the rotary latch is spring biased into the unlocked position and the rotary latch is partially received within a portion of the housing. 11. The locker as in claim 10, wherein the bolt is spring biased into the first position. 12. The locker as in claim 9, wherein the first plane is perpendicular to the second plane. 13. The locker as in claim 9, wherein the rotary latch engages the hasp and the bolt only engages the rotary latch. 14. The locker as in claim 9, wherein the hasp is a closed loop of metal. 15. The locker as in claim 14, wherein the closed loop of metal extends in a plane parallel to the second plane. 16. A method of locking and unlocking a combination lock, the method comprising: biasing a rotatably mounted latch into an unlocked position, the rotatably mounted latch being mounted to a housing and is configured for rotation between a locked position and the unlocked position, the rotary latch being rotatably secured to a housing of the combination lock, wherein the rotary latch rotates in a first plane and the housing has a rear exterior surface; andbiasing a bolt into a first position, the bolt being configured for movement between the first position and a second position along a second plane the second plane being oriented at a different location than the first plane, the bolt engaging the rotary latch in the first position such that rotation of the rotary latch from the locked position to the unlocked position is prevented, wherein the bolt is movably mounted to the housing, wherein the combination lock is a key-controlled combination changing permutation lock wherein a button disposed away from the rear exterior surface of the housing in a first direction rearwardly away from the rear exterior surface is depressed in order to change the combination of the combination lock and the housing has a button protection feature extending rearwardly away from the rear exterior surface of the housing in the first direction proximate to the button and the button protection feature extends farther away from the rear exterior surface of the housing in the first direction than the button. 17. The method as in claim 16, wherein the rotary latch is spring biased into the unlocked position and the bolt is spring biased into the first position and the first plane is perpendicular to the second plane.
