Customer Reviews:
A TSA approved Luggage Lock that works By Dotun B. Ayansina
This luggage lock is by Samsonite; the well renowned luggage manufacturer. It is TSA approved meaning that TSA agents can inspect your luggage without destroying your bag and/or the lock. It also has an added feature that let's you know that the lock was opened by a TSA agent. This is a good feature to have which will make you verify that your luggage is still intact. Overall it is a good lock and it is money well spent. The instructions are quite straight forward and the combination lock is easy to personalise. I hope you enjoy the product as much as I have.Sturdy lock ... did it's job By E. Lee
The lock works and setting your own combination is easy. Wish the loop part of the lock was thicker though ... looks and feels like that part of the lock can break fairly easily. Really liked the feature where you can tell whether TSA agents had opened your lock or not to check out the contents of your luggage.Great lock, but has one issue By Andres
Last time I travelled, over $500 of electronics were stolen from my checked luggage. The morons from United Airlines do not take any sort of responsability for "lost" items (lost is an euphemism for stolen) because they blame TSA. The moral of the story is to never put electronics (or any expensive items for that matter) in your checked luggage unless you really have no choice. Furthermore, get a TSA approved lock. Locks aren't fool proof, but think about it this way: If you were a petty thief working for an airline company, airport, or the TSA, would you steal from a locked bag, or one of the many unlocked ones? Ok, I'll stop ranting and get back to the review.
I really like the lock; it looks cool and, at least on the outside, appears to have high quality. The feature that lets you see if a TSA officer has opened the lock is my favorite part of the lock.
So why did I rate it 3 stars? Well, I just don't think it's too secure. I know that a lock is better than no lock and is not supposed to prevent theft, but simply make it less likely to occur. but still, it's a little too insecure. Why is that? I'm glad you asked! (yes, I'm talking to myself). Here are a few reasons:
1) It only has three digits. 1000 possible combinations is not that much. If I can try two combinations per second, I can break into your lock in just over 8 minutes. Ok, 8 minutes is better than nothing. Well, opening this lock may be a little easier than trying all combinations.
2) I'm an idiot and I figured out how to crack the lock. It takes about 30 seconds to open it. Try it yourself. Throught the entire process, pull on the handle with a constant force (it doesn't have to be that hard). Move the bottom number and see how much force you need to rotate the middle number. You'll notice that the middle number doesn't rotate as easily when the bottom number is set to the correct digit. Voila, one down, two to go. Then, move the middle number until the top number becomes harder to rotate. Two down, one remaining. Finally, move the top number until the lock opens. Lock open!
If it weren't for this issue, I would love it. Regardless, even if it buys you 30 seconds, it's better than no protection at all.
