Your TSA Lock – where’s the key?

If your recently-acquired Hideo Wakamatsu suitcase came with a keyhole but no keys, fear not!
It’s a TSA Lock system.

Developed in the United States, the TSA Lock lets airport and customs officials open and inspect
your luggage without breaking your lock.

Many of Hideo Wakamatsu luggage features either of these two variations of the TSA lock systems,
as outlined below.

 

TSA Key-lock system  

With this system, you should be supplied two identical keys with which you can lock & unlock your suitcase.

 

TSA Combination Lock system
For suitcases featuring this system, locking & unlocking is achieved via the combination lock.
The keyhole is for airport official use only, therefore no keys are supplied with these suitcases.
From factory, the default combination is set to 0 0 0.

 

To set your own unique combination, press down the small reset button with a pointed object.

 

Whilst this reset button is fully depressed, turn the numbers to your desired sequence.


Voila, there you have it!

 

The TSA Lock is officially recognized at all airports in the USA and by Her Majesty’s Revenue and
Customs in Great Britain (HMRC).
