disengageable???

I've found out what a "serrure débrayable" is:

Quelque soit le niveau de sécurité de votre cylindre, optez pour un modèle débrayable qu'il est possible d'ouvrir quand une clé est restée introduite de l'autre côté de la porte
http://www.leroymerlin.fr/mpng2-front/pre?zone=zonecatalogue...

Clé réversible et cylindre débrayable (modèle KABA) : permet l'ouverture de l'extérieur même si une clé est engagée dans la serrure à l’intérieur. ...

Of course this is a combination lock you have, and on a locker to boot. Maybe it just means that, in case you get locked inside your locker, there's a lever on the inside that will let you out!

resettable

In the context perhaps a "resettable combination lock" is what is being described although this would fit more with "cadenas".
