Travel safely - with the TSA combination lock

Hauptstadtkoffer TSA-Zahlenschloss

Protection against thieves and smugglers while travelling is provided by so-called TSA locks, of which there are now more than 250 million worldwide. The special feature: only the airport security can open it in case of a random examination. Without a TSA lock, it can damage your baggage, cause delays in baggage claim, or even make you miss your connecting flight.

What is a TSA combination lock?


Nowadays, international contracts require that all items of baggage undergo a security check before being loaded onto passenger aircraft. If suspect or unidentifiable material is found in a piece of luggage through the baggage screen, the bag is opened. If your luggage is locked with a lock approved by Travel Sentry, security officers can use a master key to open and properly close the lock for verification.
Locks without TSA blocking are destroyed without asking the owner.
