Product description
During our own travels, we discovered how annoying it is to doubt whether our backpack or suitcase was really securely locked. On long trips, we think it's important to keep everything safe and well organised, from a sturdy lock to simple organisers such as packing cubes. A broken lock after a customs inspection or a forced zip is not a nice start or end to your trip. That is why we chose TSA cable number locks that are reliable, lightweight and made for intensive use. We want to bring that same secure feeling to you too. With these Thousandtravelmiles TSA cable combination locks, you choose the same travel security we use ourselves on world trips, backpack trips and city trips.
Assurance that your luggage is really safe
A Thousandtravelmiles TSA cable combination lock is a luggage lock with an extra-long cable designed for intensive travelling. It protects your backpack, suitcase and sports bag from unwanted access and prevents damage during baggage checks. Thanks to the flexible cable, you easily pull the lock through zip pulls and handles so your luggage always stays safe on the road, at the airport and at your destination. This makes the Thousandtravelmiles TSA luggage lock ideal for travellers who want to securely lock their luggage during air travel, bus rides or hostel stays.
Fits virtually every backpack, suitcase, travel bag and backpack
The flexible steel cable makes the TSA locks suitable for almost all types of luggage. You simply thread the cable through zip pulls, handles or other attachment points, ensuring the lock always fits. This allows you to use it not only on suitcases and backpacks during air travel but also on travel bags, lockers in hostels and sports clubs. Ideal for travellers who like to carry one reliable travel lock that works for all their luggage. Whether you are travelling minimalist with hand luggage, using a large backpack or carrying sports bags, this Thousandtravelmiles TSA security lock fits everything.
Personal 3-digit code without keys
You set the combination lock completely by yourself with a personal 3-digit code. Our manual shows step by step what you need to do to set the combination lock. As a result, keys are not needed and you never have to worry about losing one. You are always in control of your luggage or backpack without loose keys in your jacket pocket or hand luggage. Setting the code is quick, so you can immediately use the Thousandtravelmiles TSA combination lock during your trip.
TSA certification prevents damage to your luggage
During baggage checks at airports, security can open your suitcase or backpack for inspection. If you use a lock that is not TSA certified, it can be broken open to gain access. A TSA lock prevents that problem. Customs can open the lock with a special key and then close it again, leaving your zips, suitcases or backpack intact. So you avoid damaged locks and your luggage arrives safely at your destination. This is why we recommend the Thousandtravelmiles TSA cable lock for travel to the US, Canada, Japan and many other countries, among others.
Two TSA slots for maximum flexibility
The pack includes two combination locks so you can lock several bags or pieces of luggage at once or share a lock with your travel partner. Handy for travellers travelling with both hand luggage and hold luggage or carrying a backpack and suitcase. The compact size and low weight make the locks ideal to carry without sacrificing extra space. Combine your Thousandtravelmiles TSA cable locks with our packing cubes, suitcase belts or luggage tags for maximum organisation and safety during your travels.
When do you use the Thousandtravelmiles TSA locks?
For backpackers
Secure your backpack during bus rides, night trains, hostels and border crossings. The flexible extra-long cable makes the Thousandtravelmiles TSA lock perfect for backpacks without a special lock hole.
For air travel
Are you travelling to or through countries where luggage may be opened during inspection? Then this TSA lock prevents customs from having to break open your zips or lock. Without a TSA lock, a suitcase, backpack or other type of luggage is often forced open, which can lead to bent zips, torn linings or broken lock housing. With a Thousandtravelmiles TSA cable lock, your luggage stays intact and you are protected during both hand luggage and hold luggage travel.
For hand luggage only travellers
When you backpack briefly out of sight in the cabin, the Thousandtravelmiles TSA cable lock gives an extra sense of security.
For hostels & sports clubs
Use the lock for lockers, sports bags or daypacks. The flexible cable fits almost anywhere

Frequently asked questions
How do I set the personal 3-digit code and get the TSA lock open?
You set the combination lock completely by yourself with a personal 3-digit code. Our manual provides step-by-step instructions on what to do to set the combination lock. By default, the lock is set to the factory code 0-0-0. After setting, you open the TSA lock by turning the set code and pulling up the cable. The code can always be reset when the lock is in the open position. Our TSA locks all work in the same simple way, so you can always rely on your Thousandtravelmiles lock during your trip.
Will a TSA lock also work on a backpack without a special lock hole?
Yes. Thanks to the flexible and extra-long steel cable, you can easily thread the lock through zip pulls, handles or an attachment point so it also works on backpacks, travel bags and sports bags. So you don't need a special lock hole and can use the lock on almost any kind of luggage. This makes the Thousandtravelmiles TSA cable lock extra versatile.
Can customs open my lock without damaging it?
Yes. Customs worldwide has a special key that allows TSA locks to be opened and then neatly closed again. This allows your suitcase or backpack to be checked without forcing your zip or lock.
What is a TSA lock and why shouldn't I use a normal combination lock?
A TSA lock is a cable combination lock especially for travel. Customs can open the lock with a special key and then close it again without causing damage. With a normal combination lock, security may have to force the lock to gain access to your luggage. With a TSA lock, your luggage remains protected from unwanted access, while checks can take place safely when you yourself have no view of your backpack or suitcase.
Is this TSA slot suitable for backpackers?
Yes. The flexible cable of the Thousandtravelmiles TSA cable lock fits through almost any backpack and is ideal for hostels and long trips.
Which TSA lock is recommended for carry-on only travellers?
This TSA combination lock by Thousandtravelmiles is especially popular among minimalist travellers who want to lock their hand luggage when it is momentarily out of sight.
What does TSA stand for and why is it important while travelling?
TSA stands for Transportation Security Administration, the organisation that sets security guidelines for baggage checks at international airports. If you use a lock that is not TSA approved, customs or security may have to break it open during a check to inspect your luggage. With a TSA lock, they can open the lock with a special key and then close it again without causing any damage. This keeps your backpack, suitcase and other luggage and zips intact and you travel without the risk of damaged locks or broken zips.
Is a TSA lock mandatory on your suitcase?
No, a TSA lock is not mandatory. However, it is strongly recommended when travelling to or through countries where luggage may be opened during controls. This includes the United States, Canada, Japan, South Korea, Australia and a growing number of airports in the Middle East. With a TSA lock, you reduce the risk of damaged zips or locks and your luggage remains better protected.
Can I use this lock for hand luggage and hold luggage?
Yes. The combination lock is suitable for both. In hand luggage, it gives a safe feeling when you don't have a view of your bag in the cabin. In hold luggage, it prevents locks or zips from being forced during inspections.
How do I know the locks are water resistant?
The combination locks are made of a zinc alloy lock body with protective coating and a hardened steel cable with plastic coating. These materials can withstand rain, condensation and splash water while travelling and continue to function reliably under changing conditions.
Can I use one lock for multiple bags?
You can do that if you can loop the cable through several zip pulls, but for optimal security, most travellers use one lock per bag. The set consists of two locks so you can always lock an extra bag or share a lock with a travel partner.
Who can open a TSA lock?
Only customs can open a TSA lock with a special key that fits TSA locks worldwide. Other persons cannot open the lock without your personal code. This keeps your luggage protected from unwanted access.
