How do you unlock a TSA lock if you forgot the combination?

Securing a lock to luggage

Using a TSA lock on your suitcase is a great way to keep your belongings safe while making it easy for TSA officers to do their job. But, because the lock requires a combination, it gives you something else to remember in addition to all those passwords floating around in your head. And that means there’s a chance you’re eventually going to forget it.

Don’t worry. We’ll show you how to open a TSA lock when you forget the combination, so you can get on with your travels even when the code escapes you.

What is a TSA lock, anyway?

A TSA lock is one to which only TSA officials have a key. You set the combination yourself and, if a TSA agent has to look inside your bag because they see something suspicious on the scanner, it can be easily opened with their master key. If you use a lock that’s not TSA-approved, the agent’s only way to get in is to cut the lock or the bag itself, possibly damaging it.

Many suitcases already come with built-in TSA locks but, if they don’t, you can buy one separately.

How to open your TSA lock and reset the combination

If you forget your TSA lock combination, there are a few methods you’ll want to try to open it. And, yes, you do have to open it before you can reset the combination. Because there’s no standard solution for this, you’ll have to experiment to see which one works for you.

Since different locks require different processes, the most effective first step may be to call the luggage or lock company itself (or check their website) for brand-specific instructions.

Travel Sentry, whose red diamond logo certifies that a lock is TSA-approved, recommends trying every possible combination from 000-999, starting with 000, 001, 002 … and working your work to 999. Although, admittedly, this seems time-consuming, they assure it should take 30 minutes or less, especially if the first number is a 0, 1 or 2 (something to keep in mind when you’re coming up with a new combination).

If the idea of that is overwhelming and your luggage features a built-in TSA lock, you can try this:

  • Use a safety pin to locate the metal or plastic cylinder on the right side of the first dial. The flashlight and camera on your phone can help you zoom in on it.
  • Turn the dial and, with the safety pin, look for an indentation or gap in the cylinder. Leave the dial at that number.
  • Repeat the process for the other two dials.
  • If the lock doesn’t open, turn all three dials down one number.
  • If the lock still doesn’t open, keep turning all three dials down one number at a time until it does.

Here’s another method that has worked for travelers with TSA padlocks:

  • Put pressure on the locking mechanism by pushing the button or pulling on the lock.
  • Turn the first dial slowly until you hear an audible click, which signals it’s the correct number.
  • Repeat the process for the next two dials.
  • When all three numbers are correct, the lock will open.

If you forget your combination while the lock is still open, all you have to do is reset it with a new combination. Again, you may be best off checking the brand’s website for individual instructions, but you can reset most freestanding locks this way:

  • Set each dial to 0 so it reads 000.
  • Rotate the shackle 90 degrees from the lock position.
  • Press the shackle and keep it down while you set your three-digit combination.
  • Release the shackle and turn it back to the lock position.

To reset most built-in locks, simply slide the lock button in the direction of the arrow, set your new code and release the button.

Is it really worth using a TSA lock?

Using a TSA lock is totally a matter of personal preference. Many travelers feel safer knowing that their luggage is secure while others don’t want to have to worry about remembering one more thing. The fact is, of the 1.4 million checked bags the TSA screens daily, only about 5% of checked bags are actually opened by agents for further inspection.

Our advice? Use a TSA lock and store your combination safely in your phone for all-around peace of mind.

How Do You Reset A Tsa Lock If You Forgot The Combination

Last Updated on January 17, 2021

Got yourself into a bit of a pickle huh?

This post is about opening and resetting TSA locks when you have forgot the combination.

You’re going to need some time and patience to get this done.

So first relax and read this article it will only take a few minutes and should save you time in the long run.

TSA Locks Reset From The Open Position

I’m sure I don’t need to point out to you that the whole point of a combination lock is that you can’t unlock it without knowing the combination.

But I’m going to bold the next statement just in case…

You can only reset the TSA locks when they are in the open position.

So the correct question to ask yourself right now is how do you open a TSA lock when you don’t know the combination. You can worry about how to change the combination after you get it open!

There are a few options and the best choice depends on how much of a rush you are in.

Try The Factory Setting

Most luggage locks have a factory setting of 000.

So if you never set up your own code then try turning the dials to 000 and then press the button or pull on the shackle.

If you reset the factory code to a new combination when you bought the lock you’ll need to find another method.

Get Your Hands On A TSA Key Set

Of course, TSA approved locks are a special type of combination lock because there is a master key that opens the lock it’s just that only TSA security officers have the key…

You could go to the airport and ask a TSA officer if they can help you unlock your luggage.

Each TSA approved luggage lock has a code written on it – TSA001, TSA002, TSA003, TSA004, TSA005, TSA006, or TSA007.

These codes tell the TSA officer which key they need to use to open the lock.

The problem with this is it’s unless you happen to be very close to the airport it will take a long time to get there and there is no guarantee that anyone will help you. It’s not their job to open your suitcase for you although it does happen.

For most people, going to the airport and asking for help will not be the best option.

Picking The TSA Lock 

A while back the Washington post was writing an article about luggage. They published a close-up photo with all the TSA master keys.

Someone then took that photo and used it to create 3D cad files that modeled the TSA master keys.

So if you happen to own a 3D printer or know someone that does you could try downloading and printing a key to unlock your luggage.

But while 3D printers are becoming more popular you probably don’t own one.

Another option would be to go on eBay and buy a master key. In theory, only TSA officers should have these keys. But in reality, you can find people selling the master keys online.

However, you’re locked out of your suitcase, and it will take days for keys to arrive. There are faster ways to open a TSA lock.

How To Open a Tsa Lock When You Don’t Know The Code

The slow method – trying all the possible numbers.

Most TSA locks will have 3 dials meaning that there are only 1000 different possible combinations.

The slow tedious way to open a TSA lock is often the fastest way to get the damn thing open.

To open a TSA lock when you have forgotten the code try all the codes from 000 through to 999. It won’t take as long as you think. Keep the open button pressed as you turn the dial.

Use a stopwatch to time how long it takes you to test 100 numbers then multiply by 10. This will be the longest amount of time it will take you to crack the code.

If you had just tried this method instead of looking on Google you might have the case open already!

You simply need to start at 000 and try all the numbers until you find the one that opens the case.

You might think that this will take forever but you can do this reasonably quickly. It will take you less time than going to the airport and searching for a TSA officer. And it will be quicker than printing keys or buying keys.

You need to be methodical and make sure that you try each possible combination code.

This is the surefire way to get your case open and then reset your code to something you won’t forget.

It might only take 30 minutes to work your way through all the numbers and if you can remember any of the digits it will be even faster.

If you have a lock with 4 dials then that’s a different ball game. The slow method will be really slow and it could take 5 – 10 hours to try all the different combinations.

That’s still achievable if you are not in a rush and spend 30 – 60 minutes each day for a number of days, but if you need to open your lock fast you’ll need a different method.

The Faster Method – Dialing & Listening

This method might work and is worth trying. If it doesn’t work then revert to the slow method.

You need to do this in a quiet place so the airport lobby isn’t a good place to try this.

  • Step 1 – Push the unlock button and hold it down or apply constant pressure on the shackle if it’s a padlock
  • Step 2 – Slowly turn one of the dials and listen for a click. If you hear a click this is the right number
  • Step 3 – Repeat for all the dials.
  • Step 4 – When all the dials are correct if you are still pushing the unlock button or pulling the shackle the lock should open.

This video is a great demonstration of the technique. It should work for combination locks or wordlocks. There is a knack to it so have patience and good luck.

And just or good measure here is another video demonstrating the same technique:

Hanging the padlock on the hook is an ingenious way to make it easy to apply constant pressure on the shackle!

How To Remember A Code That You Forgot – The ‘Have Faith’ Method

The mind works in mysterious ways. If you don’t need to reset your TSA lock today then try this method.

Take the suitcase out from the cupboard, spend 5 minutes looking at the lock, play around with the dials, maybe try going through 000 to 100 testing.

Then since you are not in a great rush just go to sleep and often the next day you will miraculously remember the code.

It’s like you set your brain a task to work on when you are sleeping.

If you are not in a rush to reset your lock today then this is usually the best way. Have faith, you will remember the code eventually.

Instructions To Reset A TSA Lock 

Now that you’ve got your case open you will be able to reset the combination code.

The best way to do this is to find the instructions from your luggage manufacturer or luggage lock maker.

But I’ll have an attempt at writing some generic instructions:

  • Step 1 – Enter the current combination and open the lock.
  • Step 2 – Turn the shackle and to a 90 degree angle
  • Step 3 – Push the shackle down
  • Step 4 – Change the combination.
  • Step 5 – Pull the shackle up and return to the lock position
  • Step 6 – Enter the new combination to check that you changed it correctly
  • Step 7 – Better write down your new combination code this time!

If you have a built-in integral TSA lock rather than a padlock the steps are the same but use the reset button rather than pushing and pulling on the shackle in steps 2 and 3. You might need to use a mini screwdriver to push in the reset button.

This is a great video about resetting using by pushing and pulling on the shackle:

The Verdict

If you are don’t need access to your suitcase soon then sometimes the simplest thing to do is just to wait.

Before you go to sleep at night visualize the lock with its dial in your mind’s eye. Ask yourself what the code is? You might just find that you know the answer in the morning.

If you need to get your open today then stop reading this post and go start trying all the combinations right now. You’ll find the code soon enough.

Luggage locks don’t really keep your belongings safe anyway. Any determined thief will get into a suitcase if they want. They are usually very easy to cut open. Or a ballpoint pen rammed into the zip will burst it open. If you have a soft case a knife could be used to cut into the fabric.

Luggage locks are more of a marketing gimmick that brands use to get you to buy their suitcase. They are more a deterrent than a true way to secure your travel bag.

The best way to keep your belongings safe is to pack them in carry-on luggage rather than checked luggage and then keep an eye on your case. 

This is another of the benefits of traveling light!

When you travel, your luggage should be securely protected with TSA-approved luggage locks. TSA-approved locks all fit a universal master key only accessible by TSA agents that is used to inspect luggage on an as-needed basis. As only TSA agents have access to the master key, your luggage remains securely locked when handled by anyone else.

Luggage locks that are TSA-approved protect your luggage as well as its contents. TSA agents will break locks not approved by the TSA off bags to inspect luggage contents, leaving the bag’s contents vulnerable to theft and possibly damaging your bags.

We recommend  using TSA luggage locks on your suitcase . At the same time, we understand some confusion exists concerning what type of TSA locks to use, how to set combinations on TSA-approved locks, and how to reset a luggage lock if you forget your combination. We’ll answer your concerns here.

Where Can I Buy TSA-Approved Locks?

You can buy TSA-approved luggage locks at airport kiosks, local luggage stores, and online outlets. A TSA-approved lock’s packaging will clearly state the lock is approved by the TSA. Avoid luggage locks that do not make this claim.

If you want to know if your lock was opened by a TSA master key, purchase a lock with a red/green indicator. The indicator is set to green and only switches to red if the bag was opened for inspection. You can reset the indicator for future trips using a paperclip, pen, or other slender-pointed object.

Which Types of Luggage Locks are TSA approved?

You can choose several types of TSA-approved locks to fit your personal needs. Possibilities include:

  • Key Locks are traditional padlocks that use a physical key to open and close the lock. One of the most common types of TSA-approved travel locks, key locks are affordable ways to keep your suitcase contents safe. One word of caution: The key for a travel key lock is small and easy to lose. Keep your key in a secure place, or you could find yourself locked out of your luggage, in which case you’ll need a small hacksaw to cut through the lock. 
  • Combination Locks are a good choice for anyone who doesn't want to keep track of small travel lock keys. These locks use a three or four-digit combination. The lock has a keyhole for the TSA master key, and as long as you don't forget your combination, you won't be locked out of your suitcase. 
  • Cable Locks are combination locks that use a semi-flexible cable to lock instead of the traditional metal clip. The cable's flexibility is a plus, as the lock can be used for various applications, including locking strongboxes. Some cable locks come with retractable cables that store in the lock.
  • Key Card Locks use a key card similar to those used to open hotel rooms. Like combination locks, TSA-approved key card locks have a keyhole for the TSA master key. The key card is credit card size, and fits easily into a purse or wallet.

Can I Lock My Luggage on a Flight?

Travelers sometimes express concern about whether they are allowed to lock their luggage on flights. The answer is yes, you can and should secure your bags on all flights. The rules for domestic and international flights, however, are slightly different.

Can I Lock My Luggage on a Domestic Flight?

You can lock your luggage on a domestic flight. Whether or not you choose to do so depends on what you’re transporting. A lock provides extra security and peace of mind if you’re checking in a suitcase with expensive clothing or valuable items inside. A lock may not be needed if you’re traveling with a carry-on bag filled with inexpensive items.

Should I Lock My Luggage for International Flights?

Luggage locks are necessary when traveling internationally to secure your belongings and minimize theft risk. Some areas of the world have problems with luggage theft in and around airports. A securely locked suitcase is less likely to be stolen than one that can be quickly opened, riffled through for valuables, and discarded.

You can use TSA-approved luggage locks internationally, but not all international airport security have access to the TSA master key. In countries where the key is unavailable, security agents may break TSA locks to inspect bags, which could damage your bag and leave you in need of  luggage repair . Fortunately, many popular international destinations now use the TSA master key, at least at major airports. Check the following chart to see if your destination uses the TSA master key:

How Can I Reset My Luggage Lock?

Resetting a combination luggage lock is easy if you’re entering a new combination for the first time or changing a known combination. The process is more complicated if you have forgotten the combination. Here’s how to handle each of those situations.

How to Create a New Password With A New TSA Lock

Traveling using a TSA-approved lock’s factory setting is risky — it’s like using ‘password’ as an online password, so you should enter a new combination before traveling. You may also want to change your combination to keep someone who knows your password out of your bag.

Changing an Integrated TSA Lock Password

Changing the password for suitcases with integrated TSA locks requires a slightly different approach:

  • Set the lock dial to 0000 or your current password.
  • Slide the release button towards the dials to confirm the lock will release. 
  • Insert a pointy object, such as a glass repair screwdriver, into the reset button. You do not need to hold the button down.
  • Set the deal to the new password. 
  • Poised the release button towards the dials to confirm the new code. The reset button will click and release if you set the code correctly. 
  • Test the new password by turning the dials to a number other than the new code, then push the release button. The dials should not release. 
  • Insert the bag's zipper tabs into their slots while the preferred number is displayed. The tabs should release.

Once you get the lock open, remember the combination or add it to your phone. A common traveler's trick is to add a fake name and phone number to their phone’s contact list, using the combination for the last number of the phone number.

TSA-approved luggage locks provide the most protection when paired with high-quality, well-made luggage. Check out  luggage sets from Travelpro to find the bags and suitcases airline professionals use.

How to reset American Tourister lock: Forgot combination tsa007

Henry

  • July 27, 2023
  • Troubleshooting

Hello viewers, if you are reading this article, then most probably you have forgotten the combination lock code of your American Tourister luggage. 

And all you know is that this lock is called TSA 007. So let’s see how you can unlock and reset the code.    

TSA 007 lock: 

There are many models of TSA 007 locks available. All of them have three dial wheels, one keyhole, one unlock button or unlock slider, and one circular indentation in the lock. 

The indentation looks as shown in the picture given below:

Indentation look

And to reset your forgotten lock, you first have to unlock it and then reset the lock.  

Unlocking the lock:

If you have forgotten your TSA lock combination, then “Transportation Security Administration” suggest you try all the possible variety of dials. 

A three-digit TSA 7 lock has a total of 999 combinations of dials. 

And your forgotten code is one of the combinations. 

So take 30 minutes in your hand and start checking all possible combinations of the dials beginning from 000 to 999. 

And once you have unlocked your TSA lock next step will be resetting the lock. 

Resetting the lock:

Follow the steps to reset your dial combinations.  

Step 1: Set the current code:

Set the current code

Once you find the current code with the method given above, you have to let the lock stay unlocked to reset the lock. 

Step 2: Insert a pen nib from the top :

Insert a pen nib from the top

Now you have to press a pen nib into the tiny little indentation shown in the image above. And when you press that button, you will hear a click, and the button will stay pressed. 

Step 3: Remove the pen nib and reset the combination of the dial :

Remove the pen nib and reset the combination of the dial

Now you can change the lock dial combination. While you are resetting the dials, make sure you use a strong combination and not simply 1-2-3 or 1-1-1 type something. 

Tip: Write down your combination code on paper and hide the paper in the easy-access pocket of your luggage.    

Step 4: Slide the TSA button :

Slide the TSA button

To activate the new combination as your unlocking code, you just need to push the TSA box inward. Some TSA 007 locks have a slider, and some locks have a button for unlocking the lock.

Push or slide your TSA button and test your lock.

What is the best TSA luggage lock?

There are many TSA-approved locks available in the market, but the best and strongest one is the “Tarriss TSA Luggage Lock with SearchAlert Indicator” This lock is not only strong but also sends alerts if someone searches the lock.

Final Words:

We have provided you with step by step guide on how to reset American Tourister lock.

We have broken down and simplified the steps for you.

Hopefully, you can now reset your American Tourister lock by yourself.

If you've never set a combination on a luggage lock, it can be a bit confusing. Your best bet is to read the instruction manual that came with it or look up your specific lock on the internet, as each lock can be slightly different. However, most locks work on the same basic principles, generally using a button reset, a lever reset, or a shackle reset.

Changing a Lock with a Button Reset

Step 1 Unlock the lock first.

  • If the luggage is new, the combination probably came with the materials. It's likely just "000."

Step 2 Find the reset button.

Putting a New Code in a Lock with a Lever

Step 1 Find the lever.

Altering the Code on a Shackle Lock

Step 1 Release the shackle.

  • If this movement doesn't reset it, try moving to 180 degrees first, pressing down, and moving back to 90 degrees. You won't know if it reset until you put in a new combination and then try opening it with that combination.

Step 3 Reset the combination number.

If you need to reset a luggage lock that has a button reset, put in the current combination and make sure it’s unlocked. If the luggage is new, the combination is probably 000, but if it’s different, you should be able to find the combination on a tag that came with the luggage. Look for a small reset button on the bottom or the side of the lock, then push the button with a paperclip, pen, or pencil. With the button pressed, turn the lock to the new combination, then release the button. Keep reading to learn how to reset a lock with a lever! Did this summary help you? Yes No

Some content.

If you know your combination but the lock won’t open, then here are 3 methods to hopefully find out what is wrong.  

  • Always perform Help Method 1 & 2 first. It’s very quick and could be a time saver.
  • Please read Method 3 & 4 together before attempting them. They are similar and can be done simultaneously to save time ;
  • Take your time – It is very frustrating when a lock won’t open. However, the more careful you are in slowly following these methods, the more chance you have that the lock will ‘ping’ open.  
  • All combination locks are mechanical, meaning that once a combination is set, that code cannot be changed unless done manually. So, unfortunately this is going to be a case of trial and error, without any guarantee of success.

Help Method 1

Try the default combination number.

It’s easy to overlook resetting a lock, especially if several were bought in one purchase, or they were put on a case in a hurry.

  • Set the dial to the default combination
  • Firmly pull the shank upwards

Default Code

All Numbered Dials :       000

All Date Dials :   01Jan00

Help Method 2

Accidently Resetting the lock from the wrong side

  • Flip lock over so you are looking at it from the rear with no set line visible.
  • Reset the combination to the last known combination code with your numbers in the middle
  • Pull shank firmly upwards to open  

Help Method 3

Potential Cause - A Dial Slightly out of alignment when setting.  

  • Set lock to last known combination along the set line.  
  • a) Gently turn the first dial half way towards the next higher number, (If your number is a ‘9’, rotate upwards to ‘0’), without clicking the dial into position.  
  • At the same time, pull the lock’s shank upwards (see fig. 1 drawing of this process in action ).  

NB: Ensure all other dials remain set to the lock’s original combination code.  

  • Rest to the last know combination.
  • Repeat steps 2 with each subsequent dial.
  • Repeat steps 1-3 gently turn the first dial half way towards the next lower number,

Help Method 4

Potential Cause – One digit accidently reset incorrectly

  • Set lock to last known combination along the set line.
  • Starting with the first dial, decrease by one complete digit then firmly pull the lock’s shank upwards.

NB: Ensure the dial ‘clicks’ into position.

  • If lock fails to open, decrease the same dial by one more digit and pull shank upwards.
  • Do this for every number on the dial ending with your original number.

NB: Keep an eye on the other dials. Make sure they don’t turn.

  • Reset to last known combination and repeat steps 1-3 for each subsequent dial.  

If your lock is “jammed” with the shank open and by setting your last combination does not release it, then the combination is wrong or slightly miss set. We have put together this guide to help figure out what precisely is the correct combination.

  RESET YOUR LOCK

  • Turn lock so Set Line is facing towards you
  • Turn dial to Default Combination of ‘ 000 ’ or last known combination
  • Pull Shank to open
  • Rotate shank 180 ° clockwise and push downwards
  • Set Indicator should be seen at base
