Set luggage lock

Sometime ago, I bought a hard case luggage bag which has a combination lock. However I have lost the instructions on how to set the lock and have been too scared to use the luggage in the event someone scrambles the dial and I am unable to access my luggage. The numbers on the dial have always been in the 000 position. I would greatly appreciate some instructions if possible, so I can finally use the luggage!

    Thank you so much. I have been able to use my suitcase thanks to your instructions. Have a great year!

The lock is currently set to 000. To set your own combination and with the lock in the 000 position, open the case and on the inside of the lock mechanism you will see a red tab. slide this tab to the left and then move the digits on the front to your desired code. ie 123. then move the red tab back to lock in this new setting as your own personal combination. close the case and then move the digits away from our setting of 123 and this locks the case. only if the digitrs are 123 in this example will the lock now open.

For older models follow directions above but push open latches all the way towards the handle...this opens the tumblers to a neutral position to re code!

I just received my new Bob Mackie luggage and I don't know how to unlock it.

If it has a combination lock, try 000 or 999. They are easy to decode.

Or ask Bob direct

How to change the 3 digit code of my samsonite ?

Luggage manufacturer Samsonite offers a variety of business, personal, travel products and accessories. Many Samsonite pieces such as attaches and other bags include a three-digit, built-in combination lock. When purchased, the locks are set on a factory default combination that you can change as often as you wish.

STEP 1
Turn the number dials to the previously set combination, or to "0-0-0", the factory default combination for Samsonite luggage.

STEP 2
Locate the reset button, usually placed to the side of the combination dials.

STEP 3
Press the reset button and hold it while rotating the number dials to the desired combination. Set this to a sequence easy for you to remember but hard for others to figure out.

STEP 4
Release the reset button after you set the numbers to the new combination.

STEP 5
Test the combination by turning the dials to the new code to open the lock. If the combination does not open the lock, repeat Steps 1 through 4 and test the lock again. If you still can't open the lock, contact Samsonite Customer Service at 800-765-2247.

How do I can unlock dial lock

The master dial lock is the world's best selling combination padlock.The lock uses three digit combination of 40 numbers.allowing for 15,00 possible variations
.Follow these step to unlock dial lock. 25284217-gdc3ufgmlwaqnv2deqjxyac2-5-0.jpg With the Combination Step 1 Turn the lock until the numbers read right-side-up. Roll the left-most dial until the first number of your combination lines up with the scored hash mark just to the left of the dial.
With the Combination Step 2 Roll the middle dial until the appropriate number lines up with the number to its left. Do the same for the right-most number. Your three-digit combination should now show, left to right, lined up with the scored hash marks.
With the Combination Step 3 Pull the body of the lock away from the U-shaped metal ring without turning any of the dials. The lock will click open to expose a hook. The hook spins 360 degrees so that it can be placed onto, and taken off, luggage.
Forgotten Combination Step 1 Pull the body of the lock and the U-shaped ring away from each other to put pressure on the mechanism inside the lock. Pull the body of the lock away from its attachment, or, if the lock is not attached, apply pressure on the U-shaped ring away from the body of the lock with your fingers. Keep holding a firm, steady pressure.
Forgotten Combination Step 2 Roll the dial closest to the U-shaped ring slowly, while keeping steady pressure on the mechanism. The dial will get difficult to roll over three consecutive numbers, and one of those numbers will click. You should feel and hear this small click, and that is the first number to your combination.
Forgotten Combination Step 3 Repeat Step 2 with the middle dial, and then the farthest dial. Leave the dial set when you find the click, moving onto the next dial. The combination will reveal itself, letting you pull the U-ring away from the body of the lock.
Resetting Your Combination Step 1 Hold the body of the lock so that the numbers face away from you. Set the combination and release the U-shaped ring.
Resetting Your Combination Step 2 Turn the hook of the U-shaped ring counterclockwise 90 degrees until the notch on the stem of the hook and the hole on the body of the lock line up. Push the stem of the hook down into the body of the lock as far as it will go.
Resetting Your Combination Step 3 Turn the hook another 90 degrees counterclockwise while it is depressed into the body of the lock.
Resetting Your Combination Step 4 Roll the dials until you have your new combination.
Resetting Your Combination Step 5 Turn the hook 90 degrees clockwise and raise the stem out of the body of the lock. Turn it another 90 degrees clockwise and push it back into the locked position. The lock now uses your new combination.

    Put the code numbers to '000'
    Take the lock levers OFF the lock
    Push the round opening button UPWARDS.
    IMPORTANT :
    KEEP holding the button UP until you have changed the numbers
    Change the TSA code numbers to what YOU want
    Release the round opening button
    Now your case combo lock numbers have been changed.

    To lock the case put the two lock levers into the holes, spin the numbers and your case will be locked.
    To UNLOCK the TSA code spin the numbers to YOUR lock code, push the lock button UP and, hey presto, your case will open.

    If you forget your NEW lock number you will NEED to go through ALL the numbers, starting at '000' to '999', to be able to open the lock/case.

    I previously set my combination and it worked fine. Now my combination will not work on my cal pak lock luggage. how can I open now and reset combination?

    Try rotating the numbers on the combination dial three times to clear any previous entry (stop on the zero's if this applies) and enter your combination one more time to see if this works and gets it open.

    The default is 000; to set it, hold the lock open, move the dials to your numbers, and close/open three times. This will set the combination to your numbers.

    I have Samsonite suitcase with the lock type B. When I used it last time, it was working. Now the code system doesn't work at all. I carefully followed the instruction to lock it but the code doesn't work,...

    did you do this...
    STEP 1 Turn the number dials to the previously set combination, or to "0-0-0", the factory default combination for Samsonite luggage.
    STEP 2 Locate the reset button, usually placed to the side of the combination dials.
    STEP 3 Press the reset button and hold it while rotating the number dials to the desired combination. Set this to a sequence easy for you to remember but hard for others to figure out.
    STEP 4 Release the reset button after you set the numbers to the new combination.
    STEP 5 Test the combination by turning the dials to the new code to open the lock.
    if you did this then I'd contact Samsonite Customer Service at 800-765-2247.
    Happy New Year
