As you slowly turn the three-digit combination lock’s numbered wheels, you place your suitcase on the bed. In an attempt to access your case, you press the button, but nothing happens. The lock’s clasp is firmly holding the metal zipper tags in place.

The TSA lock: What is it and How Does it Work?
A passenger’s luggage must be inspected without the passenger being present, according to the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). The airline has accepted certain locks that travelers can open and relock to allow them to lock their luggage. As luggage locked using other methods must be opened by force in order to be inspected, the TSA recommends using TSA-accepted locks.
How to Use it?
Originally, the lock was set to open at 0-0-0. The following steps will guide you through setting your own personal combination:
- 0-0-0 should be the original number on the dials.
- You will hear a ‘click’ sound when you press the reset button (a) with a pen (or similar object).
- The dials (b) should be turned to create a combination based on your personal preferences. For example, 8-8-8.
- Reset button (c) will ‘click’ back into place when pressed in the direction indicated by the arrow.
- You have now set up your personal combination.
Important: In the case of an open lock cylinder, lock it again by turning the lock anti-clockwise to the red dot position (you may use any tool that fits into the cylinder to lock it back in place).
Forgotten the Combination of Your Suitcase? Here’s How to Unlock it:
In Nasher Miles Trolley Bags, you can choose between a regular lock or a TSA lock. A tutorial on setting a normal lock’s password can be found here.
You can set Nasher Miles luggage’s Normal Lock in three simple steps:
Step 1 – Start by pulling the lock button outside in the direction that you are facing.
Step 2 – The second step is to set the number as desired without releasing the button.
Step 3 – Release the button at the end of step 3. That’s it! You’ve set your new password!
Combination Locks: How do they work?
Changing the 3-digit combination lock on a suitcase to an exclusive code is possible by changing the combination.
The lock must first be set to the current combination. Once the thumb wheels are freed from the locking mechanism (currently in the open position), a small button is pressed (usually with a ballpoint pen).
Before pushing the larger button (which opens the lock), you can turn the 3 numbered thumb wheels independently. In this way, the numbered thumb wheels are reconnected to the locking mechanism, enabling the new code to be entered.
This method relies on the fact that the notched disks next to the thumb wheels are visible (part of the locking mechanism itself). It makes little difference what number is displayed on the knurled thumb wheel. It is simply a matter of rotating the disks until the lock opens once they have been aligned.
Why is it so Important to lock my TSA-approved luggage lock?
Modern suitcases are equipped with 3-digit combination locks that offer very little security. They prevent your dirty laundry from spilling out on the baggage carousel at best by preventing your suitcase from opening accidentally.
It is possible to use a padlock to lock some suitcases (such as the red suitcase in the photos) because small metal hoops are incorporated into the zip-pullers. Despite the appearance of adding another level of security, this is a waste of time. A ballpoint pen can be used to open the zip-closure suitcases quickly and easily.
