    I had a transaction of R149.95 going twice from my bank account on 31 December 2013. It was reported to Standard bank on 4th January 2014. After several phone calls and visits to my nearest branch which is costing me now more than it's worth. Nothing happens. Last month I was informed that the first person never executed any work on the problem and the branch I visited will now solve the problem. I'm still waiting. It is now almost 3 month later, a problem that they say would have taken 12 working days is still not solved. Nobody phone you back, every phone call you make to customer care ends up costing you a fortune. I want to know how much money must you spend to get back a lousy R150 that was stolen out of you account. I don't have a lot and is not prepare to loose money that belongs to me. I want my money back.

You have two options:-

1. Try every possible combination. Although there are 1000 of them it's going to take less time than you think as you won't need to go all the way from 000 to 999. usually for a three digit lock it takes less than five minutes and shouldn't take more than a maximum of about ten minutes.

2. You can try to hack the combination. All similar locks (including four or five tumbler versions) can usually be opened in less than a minute when you have the knack. Pull the lock apart as if it had the correct combination and keep the tension on it. One of the tumblers will be harder to turn than the others so start with that one. Keep turning until you fell a definite change in resistance on one number and then repeat with the next most difficult to turn tumbler. On your lock you only have to do this twice, the third and final one will just be a case of turning until the lock springs apart. Don't expect to perfect the trick instantly, but after a few goes you'll definitely get a feel for it and then be amazed at how useless and insecure most combination cable locks are. An experienced thief can hack them in easily under 30 seconds.

Safe and happy travels.

How to change the 3 digit code of my samsonite ?

Luggage manufacturer Samsonite offers a variety of business, personal, travel products and accessories. Many Samsonite pieces such as attaches and other bags include a three-digit, built-in combination lock. When purchased, the locks are set on a factory default combination that you can change as often as you wish.

STEP 1
Turn the number dials to the previously set combination, or to "0-0-0", the factory default combination for Samsonite luggage.

STEP 2
Locate the reset button, usually placed to the side of the combination dials.

STEP 3
Press the reset button and hold it while rotating the number dials to the desired combination. Set this to a sequence easy for you to remember but hard for others to figure out.

STEP 4
Release the reset button after you set the numbers to the new combination.

STEP 5
Test the combination by turning the dials to the new code to open the lock. If the combination does not open the lock, repeat Steps 1 through 4 and test the lock again. If you still can't open the lock, contact Samsonite Customer Service at 800-765-2247.

Samsonite luggage

That keyhole is so that TSA can open that lock and take it off. They only time they would do that is if your are flying on a plane and the bag is in checked luggage and it needs to be searched.

I have Samsonite suitcase with the lock type B. When I used it last time, it was working. Now the code system doesn't work at all. I carefully followed the instruction to lock it but the code doesn't work,...

did you do this...
STEP 1 Turn the number dials to the previously set combination, or to "0-0-0", the factory default combination for Samsonite luggage.
STEP 2 Locate the reset button, usually placed to the side of the combination dials.
STEP 3 Press the reset button and hold it while rotating the number dials to the desired combination. Set this to a sequence easy for you to remember but hard for others to figure out.
STEP 4 Release the reset button after you set the numbers to the new combination.
STEP 5 Test the combination by turning the dials to the new code to open the lock.
if you did this then I'd contact Samsonite Customer Service at 800-765-2247.
Happy New Year
