When selecting the perfect suitcase, one of the most important features to consider is the lock. 🧳 Among the most common types are standard combination locks and TSA-approved locks. Let’s break down the pros of each and help you choose the best one for your travels!
🔢 Combination Locks
Combination locks are simple, secure, and incredibly easy to use. You set your own code, so there’s no need to worry about losing keys. Perfect for keeping your luggage safe from unauthorized access. These locks work well for domestic trips or destinations where TSA approval isn’t required. However, the downside is that if airport security needs to inspect your bag, they may need to cut the lock since it can’t be opened without the code.
✅ TSA Locks
TSA-approved locks are a must-have for international travelers 🌍. These locks function like combination locks but with a special master keyhole that allows TSA agents to open your lock without damaging it. ✈️ If your bag is flagged for inspection, security can unlock it, inspect your belongings, and relock it without compromising your suitcase. This means less stress during travel and ensures your luggage stays secure even after inspection.
💼 Which Should You Choose?
If you’re traveling domestically or to places where TSA isn’t necessary, a standard combination lock should be sufficient. However, for international trips or frequent flyers, TSA locks offer the convenience and peace of mind you need. 🌐
