Is this the TSA 3 digit combo lock on the suitcase? I found a couple of Youtube videos that show how to determine what the code is for your lock. Some of them have a reset button but this technique I think works just as well. Give her a gander. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBhtFO8fSh8
Hope this helps, if its not the TSA lock let me know. I will find a good hack for you. If this did work let me know that too. Thank you.
Most combination luggage locks can be reset when they are open. The combination wheels can't be turned unless the lock is being reset. So either the wheels show the correct combination, or you will be able to turn them to a new combination. The lock that is "locked outside the hole" was either not relocked after inspection or it's in reset mode.
TSA lock on Eminent Osmosis Luggage, three digit TSA lock (HOW to change it to YOUR personal number)
Put the code numbers to '000' Take the lock levers OFF the lock Push the round opening button UPWARDS. IMPORTANT : KEEP holding the button UP until you have changed the numbers Change the TSA code numbers to what YOU want Release the round opening button Now your case combo lock numbers have been changed.
To lock the case put the two lock levers into the holes, spin the numbers and your case will be locked. To UNLOCK the TSA code spin the numbers to YOUR lock code, push the lock button UP and, hey presto, your case will open.
If you forget your NEW lock number you will NEED to go through ALL the numbers, starting at '000' to '999', to be able to open the lock/case. REMEMBER to PUSH the ROUND OPENING button UPWARDS on EVERY number change. Only THEN, when it finds YOUR correct three digit number, will it eventually open the suitcase/luggage/baggage. Good luck
if you have forgotten the combo the only way to figure it out is to progress the combo starting from 000 and then 001,002,003,004 etc...( trying the lock at every new series until you get the correct combo. a 3 digit combo should only take about 10 to 20 minutes to solve. you can cut the time in half if you can remember the first number or the last number.
I have an REI 3 combo TSA lock that was attached to a backpack. I picked it up from Goodwill so they didn't really have the combination to the lock. After searching for some info online, I ended up just trying to pick it with a paper clip. It was really quite easy to do.
No. That's part of the whole purpose of TSA passkeys; they're held securely and only at ports. If it were easy for anyone else to get hold of them the locks which are TSA approved would become pointless.
You only have three options if you do not want to return to the airport:-
1. Get a locksmith;
2. Cut the lock off/drill it out;
3. If your lock is usually key operated (not a combination) then there will be a number next to the lock barrel (not the TSA number, that just tells the TSA which of their passkeys to use). A Samsonite dealer can order the correct key for you using the number and some even keep them in stock.
