Master Lock 4682DBLK TSA Accepted Luggage Locking Strap 78-Inches, Black
I purchased this luggage strap with built in TSA locks to make sure my luggage stays together if the zipper fails or to keep out casual thieves. However, the lock is bulkier than some of the competition, and the plastic pieces fit together in a rather awkward fashion…not a very quick release—too hard to describe here. If I had looked a little longer I would have discovered a competitor has a trimmer lock with an easier fastening system. But for what it does it is okay for now. The combination to the lock was easy to reset to my own combo but be advised that if you travel outside the US, not too many other countries have the key for TSA locks so you are liable to get your strap/lock cut off if they decide to search your checked luggage and you are not present.

At first I was a bit concerned because of the other reviews but when I received the strap I was very relieved, even surprised.
The Strap is really nice and very easy to adjust (also the new code). I did not have any problems like other reviews said. The lock itself is also very robust although it is plastic. I could not find any negative point.(even after a trip to Hawaii where we had to change planes twice)
Sometimes I am wondering if everybody speaks really about the same product.

It came quick in the mail and does what it is suppose to do.
You do have to read the instruction well to make sure you
are using it right. It does add one more level of security
while having the TSA compliance.

The first strap I ordered didn’t function correctly in that I never was able to set my own code. I had to pick the TSA lock (disturbingly easy to do) over and over again when the code I was trying to set wouldn’t take, but the strap would lock up on some other code. I ordered a replacement from Amazon, which they sent very quickly, but it doesn’t function much better than the first. At least, with this strap, I was able to figure out what errant code it set itself to in spite of my trying to set a code. I now use that code, and I’ve quit trying to set my own. Between the problems with personal code setting and the ease with which the TSA locking mechanism can be over-ridden, I wouldn’t really recommend this as a security measure. As just a strap to keep your luggage closed? Eh, ok. Whatever. I’m sure there’s cheaper out there though if you want that kind of thing.

Great option for older, non TSA-approved suitcases! An extra layer of protection for your stuff.
