Travel Security – Master Lock Store

FAQs

A TSA lock is a lock that staff from the Transportation Security Administration can open without cutting, in case they need to take a closer look at something in your luggage.

It saves you hassle of having locks cut open and the risk of traveling with your suitcases open for just anyone. If your luggage gets lost or delayed, you know not just anyone can open it.

No, not all luggage locks are TSA locks.

Only locks specifically designated as a “TSA lock” or “TSA approved” lock will be able to be opened airport security staff. Any other small luggage or backpack lock is at risk of being cut open if it’s flagged for being searched outside your presence.

You want a lock that’s durable, so it can withstand the rough treatment that comes with travel.

You also want one that’s easy to use so you can open it quickly and easily, because anything that makes your life easier during travel is a good idea. And consider weight. You’ll already have your hands full, and you don’t want to add too much.

This one is really about personal preference.

Set your own combination locks are a great choice because you can easily remember the combination. Since you may not be using these locks regularly that can make life easier.
