Forge Heavy-Duty TSA008 Lock Cylinder, 4-Digit & Open Alert, for Pelican Case, Toolbox, Gym Locker (Black, 1-Pack)

These are some very nice locks. I actually didn't get them for the airport though. I got them to be my locks for my Pacsafe Travelsafe. Definitely gets the job done for securing items in it. It's also nice that Forge is an American Company and made in America. This was another factor that drove my decision to go with Forge.

Maybe Forge, LLC would be able to contact the Phoenix airport TSA and educate their people that search the luggage once it's been checked in. They cut my lock off, taped their card to it that they'd searched my toolbox, and put it inside the toolbox with the cut latch and lock. Good lock, just sucked that I only flew 2 flights before some jackoff cut it off instead of using their TSA key. I bought another one, I like them, but damn...money doesn't grow on trees.

This lock is stronger, heavier and more rugged than typical travel locks that feel fragile and are easy to pop off. It also has the added benefit of being 4-digits vs 3-digits. As others note however, this added security does come with some limitations when wanting to use it on a regular carry-on bag, namely-- it does not fit a conventional zipper lock hole (the hole between the two zippers when they are pulled together where a travel lock is typically located��see pic below) on travel back packs or carry on bag. As advertised it is for larger lock holes found on toolboxes. If you are like me and want to use it on your carry-on bag, what worked for me was looping it through the two larger holes on each zipper (the holes at the end of the zipper)--works fine and is the strongest travel lock I have ever found. You may want to check the zipper hole diameter and the measurements from the manufacturer��s diagram which is one of the embedded photos in the Amazon listing)

Use these any time I travel with firearms or other gear. I Typically fly out of Atlanta and have never had an issue. They meet the standards required by TSA. I have used these locks for over 10 different round trips involving conventions/conferences and training events. Very easy to quickly open if asked by the airline kiosk or TSA. I have had zero problems with both the pelican case you see in the photos and a rifle length pelican case when I don't need as much gear or my wife is not participating in the event. Great locks!

It was easy to set the lock combination and it has been working perfectly. I would definitely recommend this lock. It's been a great lock for my needs at a great price point.

I was looking for a fairly normal little luggage lock to match the others I own. This one seems well made, but it is about the same size as the lock I use to lock my tool shed. This photo compares it to another lock (the red one) I own that I also consider to be about twice as heavy as needed to lock my luggage. I have some others that I like better. If I was locking a steamer trunk, this one would be about right for me.

This lock is thick and bright. It��s kinda heavy but if you��re using it for travel it gives you a little more of piece of mind that none of your things will go missing. I would recommend this. Setting the new combination was easy and the directions were easy to follow

These locks are pretty well built for what they are. TSA locks are not all that secure just because keys are so easy to get. These lock tight and can��t be super easily picked or yanked open. The shackle only goes about 1/4�� into a sleeve on top of the lock so it could still be broken into pretty easily. For the intended purpose though, you could do a lot worse and there is not much point getting a super secure lock that you can buy a key for on eBay.

Great product
