10 EASY WAYS
TO RESET LUGGAGE

Most suitcases, whether non-zipper luggage or TSA lock luggage, come with a default code of 0-0-0. Try entering this first, especially if you haven’t changed the lock setting since buying the luggage.

Some suitcase models, especially those using a Samsonite TSA lock, feature a small reset hole or button near the number dials. Use the tip of a pen or a toothpick to press it gently.

Push the latch or open button toward the open position and hold it there. You need to do this before resetting the combination.

While holding the latch, turn the three number dials to your preferred new combination. Choose a number that’s easy for you to remember but difficult for others to guess.

Once your new combination is set, release the latch or reset button. The new code is now saved. Test it to make sure your suitcase opens properly with the new numbers.

If you’re wondering how to open a locked Samsonite suitcase without damaging it, look for a tiny hole near the dials. Use a flashlight to inspect the position of the lock mechanism inside.

Shine a light into the small hole, and look for the line or notch inside each dial that indicates the correct number alignment. This can reveal your forgotten code.

Gently turn each dial one by one while observing the notch inside. This method is a careful way to figure out the code if you’ve forgotten your combination, especially for a TSA lock suitcase.

Repeat this process for all three dials. Once they’re correctly aligned, slide the latch — your suitcase should open once the right combination is found.

If none of these steps work, it’s best to visit an authorized service center. Never try to force it open, especially with a TSA lock luggage system, as it could damage the lock mechanism.
