Types of Locks: Identify your lock

Understanding the type of lock is the first key to unlocking it. Before setting or resetting your luggage lock, it’s important for you to recognize the type of lock. There are plenty of different types of locks that Samsonite offers in their suitcase. These types of locks include combination locks, keylocks, padlocks and cable locks.

So let’s take a look at the step-by-step guide to setting and resetting your Samsonite luggage lock.

Step-by-step Guide on How to Set Lock on Your Samsonite Suitcase

Setting up the combination lock is quite easy.

When you buy a Samsonite suitcase, the default code is always 0-0-0. Look at your suitcase lock; there is a lever with a keyhole, which is sometimes in a square shape or sometimes in a circular shape. This lever is recognized as the TSA lock.

Step 1. With the help of your thumb, slide this lever inwards or towards the zippers of your lock just to release the zippers from the lock. There are some Samsonite locks on which you might need to simultaneously press the opposite end of the lock to release the zippers.

Step 2. Once the zippers are released, look for a little pin-sized button, which is also in a square or sometimes circular shape. Just press that pin-sized button until you notice a click sound from the lock and don’t worry, the button automatically stays pushed in.

You can do it with the help of a pen or any other pointed, sharp object.

Step 3. Now you can adjust the 3-digit dails to your desired combination. But the important thing that you must be aware of is that whatever you set the combination, it must be easier to remember for you but difficult for anyone else to guess.

Step 4. Once you set your desired code, slide the lever or TSA lock again in the same way as you did in the beginning. When you do it, you’ll notice a click sound, and the pin-sized button comes back to its normal position.

If it happens, that means your lock is successfully set to your desired new combination.

Now we’ve set the TSA lock successfully, but we cannot leave it here. Now this is the time when we have to further test whether the new combination works well or not. So let’s test the new combination.

Testing the New Combination Code

Testing the new combination is as important as setting the lock code so that we can ensure that everything works smoothly and avoid any mishaps during our travel. So let’s do it.

To test it, put the zipper inside and rotate the dials to any random number. Slide the lever to ensure that your suitcase is locked. You can repeat the process to check that the combination is working consistently.

Once you’ve tested it, put in the right code that you set previously, push the lever, and you’ll see the zipper come out. This ensures that you’ve done everything perfectly and that you’re confidently ready to fly with your luggage without any worries.
