How to Set Up Your TSA Lock

What is a TSA lock?

Every Lugg hard shell suitcase from 20 inch and above comes with a TSA-approved combination lock fitted as standard. That means airport security can inspect your bag without cutting the lock open, and you travel with the peace of mind that only you know the combination. New to TSA locks? Here’s everything you need to know.

How TSA Locks Work

A TSA lock is a combination lock with a secondary keyhole built in. The Transportation Security Administration in the US, and security agencies in many other countries, hold master keys that open TSA locks without needing your combination. If security needs to inspect your bag, they can open it cleanly and relock it. No cut locks, no damage, no surprises on arrival.

Which Lugg Suitcases Have TSA locks

Every Lugg suitcase from 20 inch and above across the Jetset, Vacay, Sky Rover, Air Glide and Solo Explorer ranges ships with a TSA-approved combination lock as standard. The Solo Explorer is the exception in the best possible way, it comes with dual TSA locks rather than one, and a zip-less aluminium frame closure for an extra layer of security. The 40cm underseat bag and 15 inch cabin bag do not include a TSA lock.

How To Set Your Combination

Setting your combination is straightforward but the exact steps vary slightly depending on the range. Always refer to the instruction card that ships with your case for the specific steps for your model. As a general guide, most TSA combination locks on Lugg suitcases work by pressing and holding the reset button while setting your chosen three-digit code, then releasing.

Warranty protection covers every piece in the range. For the full suitcase range with TSA locks, the suitcase collection has everything in one place. For cabin-sized options with TSA locks, the 20 inch cabin luggage range is where to start.
