What I like about the TSA 4-Digital Locks
- These locks are very sturdy and of good quality. The body of the lock is very large and robust. In addition, the finish of the lock is good.
- The lock has good quality combination tumblers. There are four numbers, which gives you more security than locks with just three tumblers.
- Good for low-level security.
- Twin pack lock for a good price.
- The design of this lock is longer than usual, which is a great help hen trying to fit the lock through more than one hole or zip. The design of the lock makes it appear locked even when it is unlocked.
- Delivery was quick and the locks came well packaged
- The locks are of a bright colour, which helps you to identify your luggage at the airport.
- The combination dials are easy to move and to reset the combination.
- Several customers have stated that they have survived several air trip check-ins and have not become unlocked or broken.
What I dislike about the TSA 4-Digital Locks
