If you've never set a combination on a luggage lock, it can be a bit confusing. Your best bet is to read the instruction manual that came with it or look up your specific lock on the internet, as each lock can be slightly different. However, most locks work on the same basic principles, generally using a button reset, a lever reset, or a shackle reset.
Changing a Lock with a Button Reset
- If the luggage is new, the combination probably came with the materials. It's likely just "000."
Putting a New Code in a Lock with a Lever
Altering the Code on a Shackle Lock
- If this movement doesn't reset it, try moving to 180 degrees first, pressing down, and moving back to 90 degrees. You won't know if it reset until you put in a new combination and then try opening it with that combination.

If you need to reset a luggage lock that has a button reset, put in the current combination and make sure itâs unlocked. If the luggage is new, the combination is probably 000, but if itâs different, you should be able to find the combination on a tag that came with the luggage. Look for a small reset button on the bottom or the side of the lock, then push the button with a paperclip, pen, or pencil. With the button pressed, turn the lock to the new combination, then release the button. Keep reading to learn how to reset a lock with a lever! Did this summary help you? Yes No

How To Unlock And Reset 3-Digit Combination Lock?
The constant fear of someone potentially stealing your valuables from your suitcase or luggage bag can indeed be quite distracting and disturbing. Thankfully, reputed manufacturers like American Tourister, VIP, Safari, Skybags, and Aristocrat have been integrating 3-digit combination locks, often TSA-approved, into their trolley bags and suitcases for quite a long time now.
However, while these combination locks are easy and convenient to use, forgetting the code or password can put you in a trouble. Especially if you havenât used the suitcase in a long time or have changed the code recently, you might forget the code.
In case your bag has a combination locking system, losing the key can also put you in a fix. Thankfully, several solutions can help you to unlock your 3-digit combination lock luggage even if you forget the password.
The Correct Way To Unlock 3-Digit Combination Lock Suitcase
Most suitcases and trolley bags are initially locked with the key code 0-0-0 in a 3-digit combination lock. It is recommended to change the default key when starting to use it. You wonât necessarily have to break open your bagâs lock or visit a locksmith if you have forgotten the combination or lost the key. There are multiple ways to open such a lock, out of which, we will describe the best method that worked for us.
Step 1: Inspect The Combination Lock
Every modern suitcase and luggage by brands like American Tourister, VIP, Skybags, Samsonite, and Safari comes with a 3-digit combination lock. The TSA-approved locks are safer and more reliable.
However, all locks come with 3 thumb-wheels or disks with a marking from 0 to 9, as per the following picture.
Without a proper way, you have to try out all 120 combinations, which requires lots of patience. But there is a shortcut to reducing all the efforts.
Step 2: Rotate The Wheels/Disks To Find Out The Notches
There is a notch or hole at the base of every wheel on the lock of the suitcase. If it is not visible to you, try spinning the wheels with your thumb until they appear.
This is a crucial step to unlock the suitcase as the notches at a certain degree angle (depending on the password) permit the lock to be opened.
Most travel bags and suitcases have such a facility that helps us unlock them easily, even if we forget the passcodes we set earlier.
Step 3: Align The Notches And Write Down The Initial Code
After finding out all the holes/notches, it’s time to align them in a straight line and note down the codes. In my case, the initial code is 5-4-3. However, this code will not unlock the bag. It is the primary pattern and angular combination on which the final password will unlock.
Step 4: Add 1 To The Code Of Each Wheel And Try All 10 Combinations
After noting down the initial code, add 1 to each digit and try pulling out the unlock button. You’ll have to follow a trial-and-error method and turn the dials until the lock opens. Make sure to keep the holes aligned by turning every dial precisely the same number of times. There will be 9 more such combinations for a 3-digit lock that you have to try out.
For example, when I added 1 to my initial code 5-4-3, it became 6-5-4. Keep trying all these combinations, and eventually, one combination will work. It will not take more than 2 minutes to solve this problem. In my case, I have found my forgotten combination password to be 3-2-1.
While around 70-80% of luggage like trolley bags and suitcases in the market will unlock with this method, some will not. In that case, you should try out other methods explained below.
Other Methods To Unlock The Bag
Apart from the above method, you can try out all possible combinations. Also, detecting the correct digits from the clicking noises works well on TSA locks. If none of these methods works, you may have to take your luggage bag to a locksmith or the brand store to get it unlocked. Locksmiths have the necessary tools to open a lock without damaging it.
Alternatively, you may use such tools yourself if you have access to them. Airport security personnel use TSA keys to open TSA-approved locks of the suitcases when checking luggage. You can buy these same keys or borrow one from someone to unlock a TSA-approved lock.
Do TSA locks Really Help?
The TSA (Transportation Security Administration) is an agency under the US Department of Homeland Security with authority over transport security in and connecting the US. A TSA-approved lock is globally accepted to allow passengers to lock their luggage and permit the security personnel to inspect it without causing damage. The ‘red diamond’ logo, along with a mark of ‘Travel Sentry’ ensures the lock is approved by TSA.
The main benefit of a TSA lock is improving the security standard. If you are planning for international travel, especially in the US, always pack a bag available with a TSA lock. As it allows the security personnel to inspect the bag more quickly, you won’t face any problems at the airport.
Is It Safe To Unlock Your Trolley Bag In This Way?
Hopefully, the above methods of unlocking your trolley bag work without its key or passcode. As you noticed, there are multiple ways to go about it, some of which are pretty simple and quick. Using trolley bag from brands like Safari, American Tourister and Mokobara will help you lock and unlock it securely.
However, this brings up another topic â if it is so easy to open a lock without its code or key, what’s the point of having a lock? This is a legit question, for your trolley bag isn’t safe if anyone aware of the tricks we described above can unlock it. So, besides using the inbuilt lock, it is better to use an additional lock like a padlock to keep your travel items safer.
How Does A 3-Digit Combination Lock Work?
As the name implies, a 3-digit combination locks have 3 wheels with markings from 0 to 9 on its 360-degree face. The users need to align the numbers to a preset password by spinning the thumb wheels. With the right combination, the suitcase will unlock instantly.
As mentioned before, every thumb wheel on the suitcase lock has a notch or hole at its base, which is visible only when the right combination or variation is made. When all the 3 holes are aligned in a straight line, you only have to rotate it in 10 possible combinations to find the correct code. It allows the locking fence to retract, releasing the combination lock.
Can The Combination Change By Itself?
It might seem very odd if you clearly remember the code (and possibly have it recorded somewhere too) but still can’t open the lock. While it doesn’t happen often, vibrations during aeroplane travel can alter the lock combination. In this case, too, you’ll have to find a way to unlock the suitcase and reset the code.
How To Reset The Lock After Unlocking?
Resetting the 3-digit combination lock is quite a simple process. Once you have found the correct password combination for your suitcase, rotate the wheels to form a suitable code while pushing the unlock button. Once the right digits are set, you can release the unlock button to reset the lock of your bag. Test the new combination a few times and you are ready to go!
It is a pretty straightforward method; however, please note down the new password to a secure place. Otherwise, you may have to go through all the above processes again.

How to Unlock Your Suitcase When Youâve Forgotten the Combination
Picture the scene, youâve just arrived at your hotel in an unfamiliar city after a long flight. You put your suitcase on the bed and slowly turn the numbered wheels of the three-digit combination lock. You press the button to get access to your case but nothing happens. The metal zipper tags remain firmly trapped in the lockâs claspâŠ
Getting locked out of your luggage is something that happens to even the most seasoned travellers at some time or another. Luckily the ubiquitous, TSA approved, 3-digit combination locks used by brands such as Samsonite, Eastpack, Antler and American Tourister are easy to open without damaging either the lock or the case and without any special tools.
By following the steps described below, you will be able to quickly open the lock and re-program the code to a new 3 digit combination which is easier to remember.
How to Unlock Your Suitcase When You Forgot the Combination
If you look closely at the lock from above, you will see that to one side of the 3 numbered thumb-wheels there is a small disk (see photos below).
I have found that the best way to see the disks is by using your mobile phoneâs camera.
Select the video camera and shine the flash down into the lock then zoom-in to see the disks more clearly.
Starting with the first thumb-wheel of the lock, turn the wheel one click at a time until you see a notch in the disk as shown in the photos.
Once you have lined up the notch of the first wheel you then repeat the process for the second and third digit until the notches of all three wheels are lined up (see the photo of the blue suitcase).
Once all three notches are lined up, turn the suitcase so you can see the numbers.
Note, this is NOT the combination code.
Write down the numbers on the first line of a blank sheet of paper.
On the next line add 1 to each digit.
Repeat this 8 more times until you have a list of 10 3-digit numbers as shown in the photo below.
Try the codes one at a time until you find the one which opens the suitcase.
Once the case is open you can change the combination for one which is easier to remember.
With practice, the entire procedure takes less than 2 minutes.
Video: How to Quickly Open Your Suitcase Lock When You Forgot the Code
When writing this article I used 2 different suitcases, both of which are fitted with TSA approved Travel Sentry combination locks. The locks are slightly different models but the procedure is identical.
I made the video using the older, blue, suitcase because the notches in the green plastic discs are easier to see than the notches in the black disks of the red suitcase.
The code which opened the red suitcase was 2 clicks away from the position with the disks lined up. The code which opened the blue case was 8 clicks away.
If none of the codes which you have written down work you should check that you lined the notches up correctly. As can be seen in the video, there are normally two positions where the notches are visible. Make sure that all 3 notches are lined up in the same position. You can see that in the video I lined up the disks at the right-hand position.
How do Combination Locks Work?
The 3-digit combination locks used on suitcases are designed so that you can change the combination to a unique code which only you know.
To do this, you have to first set the lock to the current combination. You then press a small button (normally using a ballpoint pen) which frees the numbered thumb-wheels from the locking mechanism (currently in the open position).
You can then turn the 3 numbered thumb wheels independently to a new combination before pushing the larger button (the one which is used to open the lock). This re-connects the numbered thumb-wheels to the locking mechanism, activating the new code.
The method described above relies on the fact that part of the locking mechanism itself is visible (the notched disks next to the thumb-wheels). This makes the number shown on the knurled thumb-wheel pretty much irrelevant. Once the disks are aligned you simply need to rotate them around until the lock opens.
What Are TSA Approved Locks?
The TSA (Transportation Security Administration) is a US federal government agency responsible for the security of travellers that was created in response to the September 11 attacks.
All luggage is scanned before being loaded into aeroplanes and if any prohibited items are detected it will be opened by airport staff and the items removed.
TSA approved locks, identified by the red diamond shaped Travel Sentry logo, can be opened using master keys. The locks are often incorporated into suitcases but TSA approved padlocks are also available.
If your suitcase canât be opened with a master key then, if they need inspect your luggage, airport staff will open it by force, cutting off padlocks etc.
In theory the keys are only available to airport staff but in reality anyone with a 3D printer can print out their own master keys .
Is it Really worth Locking my TSA approved Luggage Lock?
As we have seen, the 3-digit combination locks fitted to most modern suitcases offer very little or no security. At best they stop your suitcase from opening accidentally during transit, preventing your dirty laundry from spilling out on the baggage carousel.
Some suitcases (including the red suitcase in the photos) have small metal hoops incorporated into the zip-pullers allowing you to use a padlock to lock your suitcase. Although at first glance this may seem to add a second level of security, in reality, itâs a waste of time. As shown in this video , zip closure suitcases can be opened quickly and easily using a ballpoint pen.

Hi. Will this work with the Merax luggage? I canât see the notches clear like the pictures
Iâm not familiar with the Merax brand but this method works for most makes of suitcase with surface-mounted combination locks that trap the zipper pulls. If you canât see the notches, I recomend you try sliding a thin piece of card or plastic in beside the thumbwheel and then feeling for the notch as you slowly turn the wheel.
How do you reset the code if your suitcase is open but cant remember the password to reclose it?
If youâre suitcase is open, but youâve forgotten the code, you can find it using exactly the same method as described above but without the stress of needing to open your case.
It worked, line up the notch & add +1 . At 5th number attempt, it unlocked. Very helpful. Thanks so much youâre the genius
Hi Diamond,
Thanks for your comment, Iâm glad to hear you were sucessful.
Thanks so much this was so helpful! Almost had to get a full new wardrobe but thanks to you Richard, I donât! Youâre the G.O.A.T!
Youâre welcome, and thanks for the feedback.
I have an Adrienne vittadini suitcase and forgot my combination. Is there anyway I can reset it. I lost the manual.
Iâm not familiar with Adrienne Vittadini suitcases, but from what Iâve seen on the web, they seem to have the same type of combination lock as the suitcases I used when I wrote this post.
Have you already used the method described above to find the current combination?
Once youâve found the combination, you can reset it by pushing the small button on the side of the lock using a ball point pen, and then moving the thamb wheels to the new combination.
It worked, line up the notch & add +1 . At 3rd number attempt, it unlocked. Very helpful. Thanks.
Youâre welcome Saiful
Blinking amazing worked on last set of numbers thank you so much
Youâre welcome Pam!
Worked a charm on TSA 002 Lock Antler Luggage â Thank you
Youâre welcome Alan.
My suitcase is of the older hard shell samsonite which has a combination lock that has no little wheel to guide.Any tips on this type.
You mean itâs one of the old plastic Samsonite suitcases where thereâs no zip, and the lock is incorporated in a large plastic hasp, and you can see the numbers through small circular holes in the flap, right?
These locks still work the same way; itâs just that you canât see the notched wheel.
What you can do in this case is try sliding a thin piece of plastic or stiff card in beside the thumb wheel and feeling for the notch in the disk.
Thank you. I tried lots of web sites and no luck. Using the notch line up and +1 number method worked.
Thanks for your comment; Iâm glad to hear you were successful.
Thank you so much!
Youâre welcome Dd
Welcome ;-)
Thank you so much it worked!
Youâre welcome, Mandy!

How To Reset a Suitcase Lock
Introduction.
For travel, luggage is an indispensable item. During the trip, we must set a password for the suitcase to ensure the safety of the contents. But the password can be easily forgotten and neglected, so opening the suitcase is a more difficult thing. If you do forget the combination, follow this guide to reset the combination on your suitcase lock.
Step 1 How To Reset a Suitcase Lock
Set the suitcase down with the combination lock facing up.

Turn a flashlight towards the lock, so that you can see the small details.
Rotate the three gears together so that the grooved part of each gear faces the outside.
Correct: Gear faces the outside.
Gear faces the inside.
Remember the number of the three gears when the groove part is on the outside.
As of now the code number of the three gears is 181.
Add 5 to each of the three numbers. For example, my numbers are 181. After adding 5, the code to my lock would be 636.
Turn the numbers on the lock to 636, and then unlock the lock.
Sometimes the difference is not 5 from the grooved spots. In this case, you can try to increase the numbers after adding 5.
For example, if 636 does not work, try to add 6 to the three numbers. Then the code is 747 and attempt to unlock the lock. Continue to add 7, then 8 to try, until it can be opened.
When I added 8 and my number was 969, the lock unlocked. We successfully opened the suitcase!
After reading my guide, you will never encounter the problem that the suitcase cannot be opened without remembering the password. It can be solved anytime, anywhere.

Resetting Specific Luggage Lock Types [6 Types]
There are 6 specific types luggage lock. We have discussed in details here:
Three-Digit Combo Locks
When it comes to three-digit locks, resetting them is like solving a secret code puzzle. You start by turning the dials to the current combination, then press a small reset button. After that, you spin the dials to your new code and voila! Your lock’s secret is updated.
Four-Digit Combo Locks
Imagine your lock as a tiny treasure chest with four spinning wheels. To reset it, you need to turn the wheels to a special combination â usually something only you know. After you’ve lined up all the numbers to this special code, just push down on the reset button and the magic is done!
Keyed Locks
 Keyed locks are like friends that trust you with a secret key. If you want to change the secret, it’s quite easy. Just insert the key, give it a little twist, and then you can pull the lock apart. Inside, you’ll see pins and tumblers that you can rearrange to create a brand-new secret combination. Then, put the lock back together, and you’ve got a new friend.
TSA-Approved Combo Locks
Imagine your lock as a good listener â it understands both your secret code and the TSA’s magic key. To reset it, you start by entering your current code, then switch a button to the “reset” position. Now you can set a new code, and your lock will still be friendly with the TSA.
Electronic Locks
Electronic locks are like mini computers that guard your stuff. To reset them, you usually need to enter a special code that only you know. Then, the lock’s tiny brain thinks for a moment and voila! You have a new secret code, and your belongings stay safe.
Biometric Locks
Biometric locks are like something from a spy movie â they recognize you by your special features, like fingerprints. To reset them, it’s like teaching them a new trick. You start by following the instructions to delete the old tricks, and then you show them your special feature all over again. They’ll remember it and keep your treasures safe.
Just remember, different locks have different ways to reset them, but they all want to keep your things safe and sound.
Next, we’ll talk about how to fix common problems with resetting locks.
Troubleshooting Common Lock Resetting Issues
Issues with the reset button.
From time to time, you might encounter problems with the reset button on your lock. If the button seems stuck or doesn’t respond, there are a few simple things you can do. Start by ensuring your lock isn’t dirty or dusty. Take a gentle cloth and softly clean the area around the button. If that doesn’t help, you could try applying a tiny drop of lubricant. Just remember, ask an adult for assistance and use a very small amount of lubricant.
Handling Stuck Locks
Ever had your lock get stuck? It’s a common hiccup! If your lock feels jammed and doesn’t open or close smoothly, stay calm. Gently wiggle the lock while applying gentle pressure. If it’s still being stubborn, consider using a graphite lubricant, like the one used in pencils, on the lock mechanism. And always remember, when in doubt, ask a grown-up for help.
Finding a Forgotten Combination
Oops! Forgotten the combination to your lock? It happens to the best of us! Take a moment to relax and think. Maybe you noted down the combination somewhere safe? Check your notebooks or consult your family. If that doesn’t work, no worries! Some locks come with default combinations. Look in the lock’s manual or packaging for hints. If all else fails, reach out to the lock’s customer support â they might have some clever ideas to help you crack the code!
Remember, locks can be a bit tricky, but with some patience and these tips, you’ll be a lock-solving expert in no time!
Next, we’ll discuss about How to Choose the Best Luggage Lock.
Choosing the Right Luggage Lock

When it comes to keeping your belongings safe during trips, choosing the right luggage lock is like finding the key to a treasure chest. Imagine having a magic shield that guards your stuff while you explore new places! But how do you choose this special shield? Let’s dive into the secrets of lock picking, not the sneaky kind, but the smart kind!
Thinking About What Matters
Things to keep in mind.
Imagine you’re a detective. Before you start your adventure, you need to know what kind of mysteries you’ll face. Well, picking a lock is a bit like that! You’ve got to think about important things, like how strong the lock is and how easy it is to use. Some locks have secret codes, like the magic words to open a castle gate. Others use special keys. So, choosing the right lock is like picking the best tool for the job.
Finding the Lock that Fits
Just like clothes, one size doesn’t fit all when it comes to locks. You don’t wear a swimsuit in winter, right? Well, you don’t need a big heavy lock for a short trip. And you don’t want a tiny lock for a long adventure. It’s like choosing the right shoes for your journey â comfy, reliable, and just the right size. Some locks are super for suitcases, while others guard your backpack like a friendly dragon.
In a Nutshell
So, here’s the deal: picking the perfect luggage lock is like choosing a superhero sidekick. You need to know what makes them special and how they can help you on your quests. Remember, not all locks are the same. Some have secret codes, some need special keys, and some are just right for your kind of adventure. The next time you pack your bags, make sure your trusty lock is ready to be your travel buddy and protect your treasures!

When your luggage lock seems to be stuck, it can be frustrating. But fear not! First, try gently wiggling the lock while turning the dials or buttons. Sometimes a little nudge is all it takes. If that doesn’t work, you might need to use a lubricant like oil or graphite powder. Apply it carefully to the lock’s mechanisms, and then try moving the lock again. Remember, patience is key!
How do you reset a 3-digit TSA lock on a suitcase?

Once you’ve set your new code, release the shackle, and your lock should be ready to use with the updated combination. Just remember to test it a couple of times before you zip up your suitcase!
How do you open a 3-digit combination lock on a suitcase?
Opening a 3-digit combination lock requires knowing the correct combination. Begin by turning the dial to zero. Then, slowly turn the dial clockwise, stopping at the first number of your combination. Turn the dial counterclockwise next, passing the second number once and stopping on it the second time around. Finally, turn the dial clockwise again, directly to your third number. Pull up the shackle, and your lock should pop open. It’s like revealing a secret code!

SAFARI LUGGAGE PACKING ADVICE: What luggage should I take on safari?
We answer your safari luggage questions on what to pack your safari clothing and gear into for your safari. You will learn why 'soft' and 'squashable' are the keys to ensuring that your luggage is safari-suitable.
The majority of safari lodges are located in remote areas, with access only by light aircraft and not by airliners. This, in part, dictates the luggage to pack for your safari.
Top 7 tips for selecting the best safari luggage.
Follow our safari luggage advice to find out what luggage - large and small - you will need for your safari.
1. For your main large duffel or holdall, choose safari luggage which is soft and squashable and which has no frame : This is especially true for safari travel to Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, Mozambique, Malawi, Tanzania, and Kenya. The reason for this is rather a practical one. The majority of safari lodges and camps within these countries are accessible only by light aircraft - such as the Cessna 210 shown on this page. As a result, in order for your pilot to fit your luggage into the small, cramped hold, your luggage must not have hard sides, nor rigid frames or structure, and should rather be soft-sided so that the pilot is able to fit (squash) your bag into the plane. The same is true for some overland and expedition-style safaris where there will be limited space for luggage in the safari 4x4.
2. Check on safari luggage limitations : Please check with the safari company you have booked with about luggage limitations for your safari, as the requirements may vary from safari to safari. Where luggage weight limitations are specified, please note that - as the maximum take-off weight in any aircraft has to be strictly adhered to by pilots to maximise your safety on each flight - you may find that your pilot will not be able to take any luggage over the maximum allowed weight per passenger. In this instance, you may have to pay for your luggage to be flown separately.
3. The ideal size for main safari luggage : We recommend that your main safari luggage holdall or duffel should measure 70 x 30 x 30cm in size when full.
4. Carry-on safari luggage : Also take one one smaller carry-on type safari bag to use when you travel - and to take your binoculars and accessories on game drives and walks.
5. Walking safaris : For safaris with a daily walking element, we recommend that you take the large safari holdall as above plus a small safari satchel or safari backpack .This may be the same bag as your carry-on safari bag also.
6. Luggage accessories : Your holdall and daypack are important - but don't forget the ever-important supporting role of smaller luggage items too. Complement your canvas and leather safari duffel bag with a classic, safari-styled toiletry bag in a range of practical designs. As you travel, our African-made canvas and leather Safari Travel Wallet keeps your passport and documents close at hand in style. It's also handy to get a travel lock in advance of your departure and to pack a luggage scale to ensure your bags are within weight limits.
7. Let a travel trolley carry the load : As you are not meant to take safari luggage with a frame, using a travel trolley which is collapsible is a good idea. Simply remove from your safari luggage when you do not need to wheel your safari luggage.

4. Slide the button to open the lock. Pull the button on the side of the lock to open up the mechanism on the inside. Now you can access your suitcase! If you meet any resistance when you open up your lock, you may need to spray some WD-40 into the mechanism to loosen it up. 5.
2. Find the reset button. Often, the lock will have a little reset button on the bottom or side of the lock. You may need a paperclip, pen, or pencil to push the button in and begin the resetting process. [2] 3. Put in your new combination. While pressing the reset button, enter your new combination in the lock.
Step 1: Inspect The Combination Lock. Every modern suitcase and luggage by brands like American Tourister, VIP, Skybags, Samsonite, and Safari comes with a 3-digit combination lock. The TSA-approved locks are safer and more reliable. However, all locks come with 3 thumb-wheels or disks with a marking from 0 to 9, as per the following picture.
Travel security like this method because it's fast, basically undetectable, and doesn't require any special tooling or any co-operation from the lock manufacturers. This could be a solution if knowledge of the lock's code will be revealed later (e.g. when a travel companion returns from an outing) allowing the zip tabs to be released and the ...
Write down the numbers on the first line of a blank sheet of paper. On the next line add 1 to each digit. Repeat this 8 more times until you have a list of 10 3-digit numbers as shown in the photo below. Try the codes one at a time until you find the one which opens the suitcase. Once the case is open you can change the combination for one ...
Put your suitcase or luggage bag on the table in such a way that the bottom of the lock is visible to you. Now start rotating the first number till you see a small hole at the bottom, and arrange the other two numbers in the same way such that the holes are in the same line.
For travel, luggage is an indispensable item. During the trip, we must set a password for the suitcase to ensure the safety of the contents. But the password can be easily forgotten and neglected, so opening the suitcase is a more difficult thing. If you do forget the combination, follow this guide to reset the combination on your suitcase lock.
Resetting a 3-digit TSA lock is simpler than you might think. Start by setting all the digits to zero. Next, push down on the lock's hook and turn the number wheels to set your new code. Once you've set your new code, release the shackle, and your lock should be ready to use with the updated combination.
