Ever since 9/11, traveling has become more complicated. With regulated size carry on items and a long list of items that cannot be taken through security checkpoints we have enough to keep in mind while packing. Thanks to Master Lock, we’ll have one less thing to worry about. Our luggage will remain secure with their new TSA approved luggage locks. TSA accepted luggage locks allows TSA screeners to open your locks with a special tool, inspect, and re-lock your bags. These locks are perfect for securing large wheeled luggage, golf bags, back packs, computer bags or any other travel bags that contain your valuable possessions. Using a TSA approved lock with the Travel Sentry symbol (a symbol airport staff are trained to recognize) assures that your lock will not be cut off or your baggage damaged in case it needs to be searched.
There are several Master Lock styles to choose from. Select from keyed or combination styles in a variety of colors. Find something that not only suits your needs but fits your sense of style as well!
I received different styles of TSA approved locks for this review. My personal favorite is style4689 because they are so tiny and cute. I love the little keys and the pretty colors they come in. Knowing myself though, I’d probably lose the key so I love that I have the option for setting my own “key” with a combination lock. That way I can chose something I’ll be able to remember (hopefully). Style 4684 are a little bigger and come in brighter colors. A colorful lock will also help you to identify your bag when it comes out of the baggage claim.
Locks are sold in 2 packs or 4 packs and range in price from approximately $9-$20. Check out the various styles here.
