SafeLock - International Travel Lock

The TSA is the aviation security agency of the United States. A TSA-approved lock (marked with the red Travel Sentry diamond) is a lock for which security screeners have a master key.

The meaning is simple: if your suitcase is selected for inspection and you are not there, the screener opens the lock with their key, inspects it, and locks it back up. The lock remains intact and the suitcase remains locked.

If your luggage is selected for screening and there is no way to open it, inspectors have the authority to cut the lock in order to inspect the suitcase.

What happens after that? You arrive at your destination, the lock is gone, and the suitcase remains open and insecure on the way home. This is exactly why this lock exists.

Yes. The lock has passed TSA007 certification by the US Transportation Security Administration (TSA), and comes with an official certificate of authorization.

What is TSA007? This is the series code for the master key that security inspectors carry. A lock marked TSA007 is a lock that their key fits, which is exactly why they do not need to cut it.

The default code is 0-0-0-0. To set your own code, follow these simple steps:

1. Pull the shackle up to open the lock.
2. Rotate the shackle 90° counterclockwise and press it down as far as it goes. Hold it pressed down and continue to rotate another 90° counterclockwise.
3. Set your code by turning the dials.
4. Rotate the shackle back to its original position. The setup is complete.

To reset a new code, repeat steps 1 to 4 above. Please remember your new code.

After locking, always scramble the numbers so that the code does not remain visible.

The lock is suitable for double zippers - that is, for two zipper pulls, which is the vast majority of suitcases.

If your suitcase has a built-in combination lock, the SafeLock is less relevant for it, but it is still excellent for a backpack, a locker, or a carry-on bag.

Absolutely, and that is one of its advantages. It works great on:

• Backpacks - while traveling, on the train, or at a hotel
• Gym lockers or at the pool
• Hotel lockers while traveling
• Storage compartments or drawers

In fact, most customers buy two or more: one for their suitcase and one for their bag.

• Shackle: Hardened Alloy Steel with nickel plating for corrosion resistance.
• Body: Die-cast zinc alloy with a durable color coating.
• Dials: Four number dials that rotate smoothly and stay in place.

The nickel plating is not just for decoration: it is what prevents rust on the shackle following exposure to humidity, rain, and sea air. This is not plastic, and you can feel it in your hand the moment you hold it.

Beyond the TSA007 certification of the lock itself, the manufacturing facility complies with ISO 9001 (quality management), BSCI (employment conditions and ethical conduct), CE, and REACH (material safety for European standardization) standards.

In addition, there are third-party test reports, including, among others, for salt spray resistance and tensile strength. In practice, this is what lies behind the phrase "anti-corrosion nickel plating": it was actually tested in a laboratory, and we didn't just write it on the packaging.

Yes. That is one of the lock's great advantages; it is completely permitted on flights, both in the aircraft hold and in carry-on luggage. There are no restrictions whatsoever on carrying it.
