Samsonite Luggage 3 Dial Travel Sentry Combo Lock, Black, One Size

Initially the lock seemed to be of good quality. But, on my first trip with it, after getting to my hotel and emptying my luggage, and locking it up again on the luggage, it never opened again from that time forward. It would not unlock no matter what I tried. The red button on the bottom was out suggesting that the TSA people had opened my luggage when I got to my room. However, it was pushed back in according to directions, but still, the lock would not open. I had to eventually get a heavy wire cutter to cut this useless lock from my luggage.

I bought two of these for a family trip. I set my combo for both of them and tested them a few times before locking my bags. Since I keep my bags locked even when at the hotel, after being out I went back to go open the lock and the combo I setup ended up changing some how on one of the locks. Thankfully it was only by one number (the last one) so I was able to remove the lock. I tried resetting the combo for that lock and it worked once but then after that one time I couldn't get it to open again and had to buy a replacement while on my trip. Still can't get it to open, but the other lock works just fine. Not sure what happened but for the price these go for and to have the Samsonite name on the lock and this happened I'm a bit disappointed.

Garbage. 2 out of 4 failed. One was on my suitcase and I had to cut it off with a hacksaw. Two comments here - 1/ even if you carefully set the codes, there is no guarantee they will open later. 2/ if you have to cut them off, it is dead easy, as they are not made of hardened steel. Don't buy - you will be sorry.

Purchased because of the pretty floral design that made it different. Upon receipt it surprised me that the hasp did not fit into the lock but is held in place by an exterior plastic piece. I'm not sure how secure this is. Apparently this is something new. Also, the lock numbers are difficult to read in certain light but do show up well if you rotate it out of direct light. I have not had occasion yet to reset the alert; it pops the bottom key portion out of position and you have to use a pointy object to push it back into the lock. I prefer a hasp in lock setup with color alerts and not having to use any tool to reset. Because I know there is another model lock out there that does this, I would not purchase this model again.

have used these before and I find them very good - so do the TSA, apparently, as very often in the course of my international travels, I find them missing after reaching home and seeing an "INSPECTED BY TSA" notice in my bag !!!

Expensive for what they do but I wanted something durable and these are. The TSA indicator is useful, to me, although for the life of me I cannot figure out why the TSA has to open my luggage when an x-ray scan cannot be showing anything controversial. How can what they are doing be safe if they can't trust the x-ray scan? Anyway, I can tell if someone has been in my luggage and I can reset the indicator easily. Hang onto the instructions, though, if you are interested in this. I now have a set of instructions in my phone as a PDF. Another thing to watch for is that if you do not spin the tumblers, the lock can open and fall off. Again, I think the TSA was to blame for this, but I cannot be sure so I mention it. The locking end of the hook does not enter the lock body itself and is only kept from opening by the collar you see in the upper left of the photo.

Worst lock ever, bought 2 of this (one as a spare) the first trip everything was good, second time my lock got opened byt the TSA since the red ring popped, the thing was that i couldn't open it with the combination i set, after trying almost half the combinations possible it opened, 2 of the dials moved 1 number, i reset it and used it again, then it happened again, so i decided to use the spare lock, i set the combination and during a trip customs asked me to open the lock and couldn't open it with the set combination, had to break it.Even worse, i emailed Samsonite, they answer: Locks don't have warranty. Don't waste your money on this locks

I bought this item over a year ago and just recently needed to use it. Easily reset the default combination and opened and closed the lock several times during my trip. Got home and the lock refused to open. Note: this was a car trip so the bags were not handled by airline carriers who can be rough. After several tries I decided to use a screwdriver to twist the hasp open, it was way too easy to do. This is not a very secure lock, and too easy to break open. I thought the Samsonite brand would have come with better quality. Very disappointed.

Seems and feels durable, its a bit heavier than expected, but that feels reassuring since itll be capable of surviving luggage mishandling. Im not sure though if a TSA lock is any helpful in protecting a luggage since I saw many different and easy way to open a luggage without even breaking/cracking the lock, and without the owner even noticing until he/she looks for her stuff. Also, TSA locks has flaws and can be easily open by anyone who has the will too. So Im not sure if this is really a must-buy for your luggage, but I guess a lock is better than nothing right. I wouldnt suggest buying expensive locks though since itll all be useless if someone really has the intention of stealing.

Simply put, this lock is very easy to use and is TSA certified. The lock has a metallic body and is very sturdy. The price is a bit on the higher side but I simply could not find anything else on amazon within this price range that has an all metal body.Don't be fooled by the other knock off's made up of plastic and they may not even be genuinely TSA certified.This is a good buy and you won't regret it :)

I am hardcore lover of samsonite. I love using Number locks as they are very convenient to use. I have few Number locks including samsonite. I bought one more from amazon last month. It’s awesome. Sturdy construction and fabulous quality. Five star product.

Have been using this lock frequently during my travel.This lock passes TSA screening and also helps you identify your bag easily due to its colour.Also it has a strong metal body, please see the image taken after 4 international trips.

Doesn't rotate property. Also seems there's no spring inside. U have to pull it up after entering the code to open .
