How Do I Set My TSA Lock?
If you just bought a new DELSEY PARIS suitcase or you’re looking at your lock trying to set or reset it, this is where you’ll find the next steps. Setting up or changing the combination on your DELSEY PARIS TSA-approved lock takes less than a minute one you know how. Here’s the full step-by-step guide:
What You’ll Need
-
Your DELSEY PARIS piece with a TSA-approved combination lock
-
A pen (or anything with a similarly narrow, firm end – like a paperclip)
-
A few seconds to pick a new 3-digit code
Step 1: Start with the Default code (0-0-0)
Every new DELSEY PARIS suitcase ships with the lock preset to 0-0-0. Line up all three dials to zero – this if your starting point whether you’re opening the suitcase for the first time or getting ready to set a new personal code.
Step 2: Press the Metal Button With a Pen
Look for the small metal button indentation located next to the zipper pulls, right by the dials. Using the tip of a pen, press and hold this metal button in. This puts the lock into “programming mode” so it’s ready to accept a new combination.
Step 3: Set Your New Code
While holding the metal button in, rotate the dials to the 3-digit combination you want to use going forward. Pick something memorable that would be hard for someone to guess – avoid repeating digits or 1-2-3 if you want real security. Once your new code is dialed in, release the button.
Step 4: Push the Lock to Release the Zipper Pulls
Push the lock mechanism to release the zipper pulls and confirm your suitcase opens with the code. It’s a good idea to test the new code once more: close the zippers, spin the dials to something random, and confirm the lock stays shut. Then, dial your new code and confirm it opens. This double-check ensures the code saved correctly.
Step 5: Write Down Your New Code & Store it Safely!
This step matters. TSA-approved locks are built so airport security can open them with a master key if needed, but you can’t reset the combination without knowing your current code. Jot your new combination down somewhere safe so you’re never locked out of your own luggage before a trip.
Quick Recap:
-
Set the dials to the default 0-0-0
-
Press the metal button next to the zipper pulls with a pen
-
Rotate the dials to your next 3-digit code while holding the button
-
Push the lock to release the zipper pulls and test the new code
-
Write your code down and store it somewhere safe
