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

Nice to be able to lock up multiple pockets/zippers at once. Also helps keep more secure since it can limit how far the zippers can move making it harder to slit and correct. Or it gives the ability to attach your bag to a pole or seat to keep someone from walking off with it.

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 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.

Pretty easy to set up and lots of flexibility. I bought several packages and one of the locks was half broken, the top latch worked, but the bottom just wouldn't hold the cable in a locked position. They are very handy, especially with a long cable loop inside of a suitcase for stringing together items you wouldn't want to be easily stolen by baggage handlers or anyone else 'inspecting'. I strung together several cheaper pieces of camera equipment and bag of related tools/parts along with a tripod. It wouldn't really stop anyone determined, but it does work to make it a hassle to steal.

Productos de muy buena calidad. Estoy satisfecho. Gracias.

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.

After having had to destroy a suitcase on which the built-in lock seized, I no longer use built-in luggage locks. Rather, I have multiples of this item which I throw into the front compartments of my rollaboard and checked bag. If one is cut off, there's a replacement handy. It's a WHOLE LOT easier and cheaper to trash one of these rather than another suitcase. I've used these for years on long-haul flights to close the zippers and attach personal (computer) bag to seat frame when I'm in the lavatory. Also thread one of them through the end loops of a separate 3' plastic-coated wire to connect all my luggage pieces together for layovers, dining, etc. When you travel solo, there isn't another person to "watch the luggage" while you stand in line for food or whatever. While many of the reviews for this are negative because it's failed and they've had to cut it off, or TSA has cut it, I look at that as a hazard with any lock and just another cost of travel. For me, being able to easily cut this off (without destroying zippers or the suitcase) is a plus. BTW, I've only had one of these seize-up in about 10 years of using them.

I like the double-sidedness of this lock. It works great for what I need it for. Yes anyone could cut the thin cable, but for me I just need to deter wandering fingers from pickpocketers.

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.
