But don’t at all; in this guide, we’ll cover different possible methods to help you unlock Samsonite luggage when you forget the code, ensuring you access your belongings without causing any damage to your lock.

So stay with us and keep exploring things you can do.

Things to do to unlock Samsonite luggage when you forget the code?

You can do three things in order to unlock your Samsonite luggage lock. You can go with the method that suits your situation the best. So let’s take a look at each of them one by one.

1. Guess the Combinations

The first method you must seek out is guessing the combination code. Let me tell you, this is the best possible method that I personally recommend.

A few years ago, when I came across the same situation, I myself applied the same process, and it took around 20 minutes but worked really well for me. That’s why I recommend you go with this method first, and if it doesn’t work for you, then you try further methods.

The most important thing you require for this method is patience. This method really takes time, and the time you’ll put in is really worth it. According to the Samsonite official website, this method isn’t going to take more than half an hour if you start from 0-0-0 and go all the way up to 9-9-9.

That means you can start with 0-0-1, 0-0-2, 0-0-3, and so on. If you remember your one or two digits already, then it’s going to take even less than half an hour.

2. Try this Unique Hack too

If you’ve tried the first method and, unfortunately, it couldn’t help you overcome the issue, then try this unique method explained in this video.

With the help of this method, thousands of people could unlock their luggage, and it worked really well for them. This method works not only with Samsonite but also with almost all the brands.

Try this method out, and I hope it will work for you as well.

3. Use the master key

If none of the above methods could help you unlock your luggage, then this method is definitely going to help you.

Let me tell you that when we talk about a built-in TSA-approved combination lock, there are usually two types of locks: TSA007 and TSA002. The one Samsonite mostly uses is the TSA007, so look at your luggage to see if yours also has the TSA007 lock.

Fortunately, master keys are easily available for both types of locks, whether your luggage has TSA007 or TSA002. You can easily get it from various online stores, including Amazon.

Once you get the master key, look at your luggage; there’s a keyhole on your luggage lock. Just enter the key and unlock it, just like you unlock a normal lock with a key.

Once you find the code and unlock your luggage, you can use the same code for future use. But it’s recommended to reset the code and set a new one. Here is a complete guide on how to set and reset the Samsonite suitcase lock.

4. Contact Samsonite Customer Support

I’m sure if none of the methods work for you, then the last master key method will definitely work. But still, if, for some reason, you can’t recover it, you should contact Samsonite customer care.

5. Consider Seeking the help of a professional locksmith

This is the last thing you can do. If none of the methods above worked for you and, for any reason, you don’t want to contact Samsonite customer support, then this is the only method you’re left with.

Consider seeking help from locksmiths, especially those who are experienced with luggage locks and can often unlock them without causing any harm to your locks or suitcases. So make sure to choose a reputable locksmith service.

Prevention Tips for the Future

• Record the lock combination safely. We’d highly recommend you keep track of your set lock. You can write it somewhere so that you can avoid any future lockouts. Make sure to note it in a secure location that you can easily recall whenever you need it.
  
• Choose a Highly Secure Combination: It’s recommended not to repeat the same digit twice or three times. You must choose a unique digit for all three dials, which means you should avoid these types of codes like 9-8-8, 3-3-5, and 4-4-4.
  Another thing to keep in mind is that the code should be easy to remember and, at the same time, difficult for someone to guess. You can use any code that is associated with you, and no one knows about it. It could be something like your business year, your child’s date of birth, or anything that you can easily remember.

Closing Thoughts

We understand how difficult the situation is when you’re in a hurry and unable to unlock your suitcase. In this situation, the first step is not to find the solution but to be calm and stress-free. Panicking can reduce your ability to think in a much better way to find the solution to this problem.

We know it’s difficult in these situations, but once you become calm and relaxed, you’ll be able to think clearly. So, take a breath and apply the methods that we explained above.

We’ve explained every possible method; you can start with the first method and go all the way to the bottom, and we hope you’ll be able to come out of this panic situation.
