FAQ
Are it Luggage locks TSA approved?
Yes, they are — there, that was an easy one!
What does TSA stand for, and what does it do?
TSA stands for the Transportation Security Administration. It’s an agency within the US Department of Homeland Security that has authority over the security of the travelling public in the United States. Chiefly concerned with air travel, the TSA employs screening officers in airports, armed Federal Air Marshalls in planes, and mobile teams of dog handlers and explosive specialists. They have stringent demands in regard to accessing luggage for security purposes, and thus staff possess a special and secure tool to open locks as needed; a tool which is unavailable to the general public.
Where is the key for my TSA lock?
A TSA lock is a global security system which allows passengers to lock their luggage while permitting security authorities within airports to inspect them without damage. So, although all TSA locks have a keyhole, only TSA agents at the airport hold the master key to open them.
When travelling to airports across the USA, Canada, Japan, Israel, Finland, Norway, Denmark, Czech Republic, Germany, Austria,
Belgium, Netherlands, Switzerland, South Korea, New Zealand and soon other countries, airport security agencies are equipped with official tools that allow them to open, inspect and re-lock any items of luggage secured with
TSA locks without damage. These locks can also be used for travel to all other countries.
Where can I use my TSA approved lock?
Travel Sentry and their TSA locks are used in more than 750 airports in 20 countries, by 1.6 billion travellers annually. These countries are listed at www.travelsentry.org. They are a global standard and are not limited by where they can be used. In fact, there is no place where Travel Sentry locks cannot be used.
Where can I get a secure tool to open the lock on my case?
This is a tool only available to airport security services & agencies, and is not available to the general public.
What happens if I forget the combination code to my lock?
Treat the code for the lock on your suitcase like a PIN code for a credit card and use a code that it only known to you—hard to guess, but easy to remember. We’ve provided space in the Owner's Manual booklet that comes with your case, to write the code down and keep it safe.
As part of our warranty, we are unable to cover issues with combination locks that arise from the incorrect setting of the lock, if the lock is used incorrectly, or if it has been forced open.
If you forget the code, our only advice is to logically go through each combination to try and crack it. Unfortunately, we don't have a master key that can help with opening your case.
