Lewis N Clark Triple Security Lock: TSA Luggage Locks for Suitcases, Carry On, Laptop Bag & More, Set Combination Lock to Create Secure Padlock for Travel, Vacation, Business, or Backpacking, 1 Pack

A lock for everything! I still would like to get the retractable lock, I think that it would help me lock up my zippers a lot more securely, or strap my bags to something if I needed to like if i'm in an airport for more than eleven hours, and I need to take a nap, I can literally strap my bags in front of me with my legs laying on top of them or while being connected to the chairs or my body. Back to these specific locksthey are definitely multipurpose, very easy to use, very high-quality. Great value for the money and they the perfect size for my needs. The combination is very easy to set, I had no struggles at all besides trying to set it without using the red thing at first. Lol..

I love this lock! I use them on my suitcase and back pack. Love the fact they are double ended, attach the separate ends to two different objects. You can run it through the zipper tab and the suitcase handle so no one can open your bags. You can also lock the bag to a bar or chair so it can’t be stolen in a public place while traveling. I have one for each piece of luggage and back packs. I don’t travel without them. They are easy to use and you set your own code. Nice quality.

Love this lock, but paid more for the purple lock and then received the black/grey lock :/

The locks we ordered for our trip to the Adriatic arrived on time and intact. The packaging was incredibly difficult to open, 2 layers of plastic that resisted even my sharpest knife (I hate to have to use a knife to open a package anyway) and had to be completely opened to access the instructions. The instructions for setting a personal combination were incredibly nebulous. One has to push the cable ends towards the center of the lock to release them but that wasn't clear. I set the combo to 000 as instructed and pulled and yanked and twisted until I decided to watch a video of someone opening it. The search for the video shouldn't have been necessary. All considered tho, I have confidence this will meet our secure luggage needs. We also purchased additional cable to secure luggage to sink drain pipes, etc in hotels. Don't forget to remove the reset tool (red plastic in image)! That's not very clear in the instructions either. Perhaps the maker is relying on common sense and forgetting Murphy's Law.

These locks will not prevent someone from opening your bag by popping the zipper with a sharp pen, but prevents them from running the zippers back and forth to cover the fact. This is my second one, the first was destroyed by the TSA when they "inspected" my bag.

I was rather disappointed, as I'm in the middle of a trip overseas and was hoping to be able to contact the vendor without writing a review, to see if the problem can be corrected. Unfortunately, it does not appear that Amazon offers this service, so I am reduced to writing this review. I have been traveling for about 5 weeks and the three locks that I purchased were working perfectly until today, on a trip where I had just taken two of them along. I was flying from Munich to Barcelona and was asked by security to open my carry on case, which was locked. I was able to unlock it, and lock one of the loops, but the other loop would not lock. When I arrived in Barcelona, got my luggage and went to the Tourist Office at the airport, I had to open my carry on as my hotel information was locked inside. Though I had the correct combination, the lock would not open. The Tourist Office then sent me to Customs, which directed me to another Terminal, where no one could help, and I finally returned to the original terminal and went to the Air Berlin Information Desk for help. He informed me that if I had known the lock was defective BEFORE I came through the arrivals gate, one of the personnel there could have opened it; but once through the arrivals gate, you can not go back. I explained my desperate need, as I had been running around for over an hour and did not even have the address of my guest house, as it was locked inside the case. The man was good enough to offer to cut the lock - which he did, surprisingly with an ordinary pair of scissors. Now I am torn about using the remaining two locks, wondering if they will fail and again leave me running around strange airports for hours. . I left one lock behind in the Munich apartment where I am staying and am left with only one working lock - and the fear that the combination will fail again. I will have to buy another lock on the market here. This is extremely disappointing and has colored my view of these locks - ordinary travel and after 5 weeks one suddenly doesn't work? I had read a review of someone who had this same experience, but not in the middle of a trip. I am both disappointed in the failure of the lock and then concerned that an ordinary pair of scissors can cut through the wire loop. I would appreciate hearing from the vendor about this. UPDATE: 16 days later and on a Sunday, I'm getting ready to fly again on Monday. The second of the three locks has now failed. It won't lock on one side, and following the lead of the first failed lock, it will completely fail. So here I am on a Sunday and flying out in the morning and another failed locked. 67% failure rate and it looks like I'll have to replace all three before this trip is done.

Muy practico

I recently used this on a trip from USA to Australia. TSA went in my bag, and actually used the lock properly and put it back on. I was surprised/impressed. I made sure to have the TSA logo facing up when I put it on. I don't know if it helped, or if I just got lucky. Seeing the price of this unit, I obviously would have been very disappointed if they'd cut it the first time I used it. I lost the instructions on changing the combo - so I was very pleased I was able to find a YouTube video online that showed me how to do it (very easy). I just really love the idea of this lock. I really felt like my bag was more secure with it going through the zipper and around the handle of my suitcase. If you are willing to take the risk of having it cut - I highly recommend this lock. It would also be a great option if you ever need to store your bags at a hotel or similar before your flight.

Junk. Broke after one week of use and had really only been locked and unlocked three or four times. Don't waste your money on this junk.

I really rate these, and I have bought several over the years. Why? Mainly because they lock at *both* ends, meaning you can secure them in several different methods, depending on what you require at the time. You can secure one end to the bag's handle and the other end through the zip-holes to secure them. Alternatively, you can put one end around a post wherever you may be sitting, to secure the bag from being stolen. Or again, you can use only one end, and keep the other free, should this be more beneficial. I also have one on my bicycle handlebars to secure things to when needed. So really, being double -ended, they have many uses. The locking mechanism is secure too, as it slides in rather than simply clicking in like most padlocks. This means it isn't easy for the casual stranger to fiddle with them, and makes them that bit more secure. So overall, a definite winner.

Excellent

Really happy with the purchase, you see the videos on social media of airport staff using a Biro pen to open padlocked suitcases without having to pick the lock in a matter of seconds which made me quite paranoid. There haven't been any notable break ins on the padlock itself but i can confirm it survived a trip without my luggage being breached.
