Basic TSA Locks with no frills
These are just very basic TSA locks. If you are like me and just wanted to grab a couple of really basic ones (as I have most of my important stuff in my carry on, not checked bags) just for that extra feeling of protection, go for it. Last time I traveled I had a piece of jewelry go missing: I’m not accusing anyone of any airline or any airport, it’s entirely possible I lost it myself. However, if I had put it in my checked bag with this lock on it, it probably wouldn’t have gone missing.The downsides: these are fairly small and so they won’t lock up any HUGE luggage or the like. They’re also not very sturdy in my opinion, as it seems like if someone tried hard enough they could either rip the lock out by hand or just use a pair of decent wire cutters to plow through it.Also, don’t forget: this is a TSA lock! That means that ANY TSA AGENT CAN OPEN IT. This is the PURPOSE OF THESE LOCKS, since TSA agents ‘legally’ need to be allowed to look in your stuff, and if you don’t buy a TSA lock they could cut off whichever one you have on there, leaving it completely sans lock for the entire trip. However, my point is: any TSA agent with the specific key for these locks can open it.So, does this make it less likely people will steal stuff from you? Yes, absolutely. Does it make it impossible? No, because there’s still dozens of people working at every airport with the keys to open these. To be honest I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a website selling those keys to NON TSA WORKERS in order to facilitate theft more.Ultimately, these locks give you a bit more piece of mind, but when you truly consider their purpose, you realize that while it may make things safer, it also guarantees that anyone with that specific key can open your bag, for ANY REASON, do whatever they want to your stuff, then lock it back up and you would have NO PROOF and no idea that it happened.I think a GREAT IDEA for future TSA locks is to add a COUNTER to the lock to show how many times it has been unlocked since you last looked at it. So, for example, let’s say I travel and I had opened my lock once before I sealed my bag with it. The counter would read one. Now, let’s say I land and get my bags back and I see the counter is 3: that means that TWO PEOPLE opened my lock since I gave it to the airline.So I truly think adding some sort of unlock counter will help reduce theft even more, because now if something goes missing? You now have verifiable PROOF that your bag was unlocked by a TSA agent, and how many times. So, another example: it’s at one open before I travel, and I land and suddenly it reads 12, so it’s been opened 11 more times? Why? What went missing? Was it because of something suspicious, or were people stealing?I just think adding a counter would improve both this lock and ALL TSA Locks.Again regarding this lock: it’s the most basic TSA lock you could imagine. A small metal cord covered with plastic and a 3 digit combo you can set. I once again want to say that I feel a strong enough person could simply rip this lock right open, or that it could be cut open easily with wire cutters, but hey: it’s better than nothing, and at this price for a pack of two? I’ll pay the few bucks for slightly better piece of mind.

Easy to set combination
You can set all four to the same combination. Works flawlessly.

So frustrating to try to set a code
I followed the instructions for setting the code on both locks (even after reading through reviews to make sure I was doing it correctly), and the code I set did not work and the locks wouldn’t open. I spent about 2 hours trying every single combination of the numbers around the ones I had set, including putting the arrows in between the numbers (like the seller suggests). No luck.I was so angry that I threw them against the wall…and then they popped open. So I tried setting the codes again. I made sure that I was holding a pen steady to push in the reset button without wobbling, I made quadruple sure that the numbers I was setting were lined up with the arrows and in the little grooves and not between, I set the numbers by moving the dial to the left (so the numbers were getting larger) like someone suggested in the reviews, and I kept the reset button pushed in as I re-locked the lock (which is not what the instructions say to do). And it worked. And then I did the exact same procedure with the second lock….and it didn’t work and that lock is now locked again and I can’t open it. Maybe I’ll have to throw it against the wall again but I’m so frustrated with these locks. I honestly don’t know what I’m doing wrong.The seller said in a couple of questions from other people with the same problem that you should go to your order number and click “contact the seller” and then they’ll send you a new one. But there is no “contact the seller” on the order number — only “send feedback.” So I did that but no response.
