A secure luggage lock may seem like a small thing, but its importance is highlighted on every trip. When you travel by air, you only have seconds for your luggage to move along the airport system’s conveyor belt. A quality lock gives you the assurance that only those with permission – you and your family – can access your suitcase.

There are two main types of luggage locks: combination locks, which are operated by a numerical code, and key locks. Combination locks are convenient because you don’t need a key and it’s easy to remember your code. Key locks are more traditional and sometimes more reliable. The most important thing is that your lock should be TSA (Travel Sentry Administration) certified – this certification means that U.S. security forces can open the lock with a special key during a security check without damaging your suitcase or the lock itself.
