TSA Approved Luggage Lock, 30-Inch Retractable Steel Cable

Used this item on trains in Spain for small roller bags. Small size was great for putting in pocket before and after using. It was quick and easy to put on or take off which is important as other travelers are waiting to get on or off the train. We had two bags and cable was not long enough for both bags and attaching to fixture. It was long enough to connect two bags. I recommend this item.

I love this little compact lock! It fits in the "glovebox" on my bike frame, the other one was bigger and wouldn't fit. I only use it for my expensive bike in areas where I'm "keeping an eye out." I call it the Keep Honest People Honest lock. It's perfect for my needs when I'm at an outdoor cafe and can watch my bike, etc.

First off, this is not going to stop a hardened thief. Anyone carrying a pair of wire cutters could cut right through the cable. I would only suggest this for brief periods when you walk away from your bike. Not for overnight parking or longer term storage. I got the green model to make it stand out in my black saddlebags. Oddly, pricing varies by color. The combination reset switch is extremely hard to move, so hard that I initially thought my unit was defective. But I finally figured out the technique. So don't give up if you order this. The cable is roughly two feet long and that is more than adequate to secure a helmet to a bike. It has three dials which enable combinations up to 1,000. Someone with enough time on their hands could conceivably try every one until they hit it. A 4th dial would solve that, but as I said - this is not a long term security solution. I really just needed it for quick stops for lunch, gas ups, or other brief exits from the bike. It locks and releases easily, and is lightweight and takes up hardly any room. It's not heavy duty, but will do the job briefly which is all I need.

Worked great for securing luggage on trains in europe! I understand that this lock is merely a deterrent for theft, not very protective against it if someone has a tool to cut the cord, but all we wanted was to lock our luggage to the luggage rack so a snatch and run situation would not happen. Very easy to use, we could attach and remove it very quickly so we wouldn’t hold anyone else up on the train.

Broke after 3 months of use and I had to cut it off. Regular medical scissors cut the wire no problem. I used it to lock my lead at work because people kept using it when I wasn't there and not putting it back. Worked great until it didn't all of a sudden and I had to cut it off. Waste of money. The retractor reel broke before the lock jammed on me.

I recommend this over the Burton cable lock and most alternatives! Someone tried stealing my snowboard at a resort the first weekend of the 2021 season. Decided to get a cable lock after that. A friend got the Burton cable lock and it came with no instructions on how to use or reset the combo and it was a little bulky. After that I decided to look for alternative cable locks. This comes with instructions and so easy to use while being small/compact to fit in your pocket while you ride. Why would you want the lock if it’s small/compact? You’ll eventually want to put your snowboard or skis on the racks to go take a break so you can eat, drink etc. This is when boards get swiped and stolen! You can lock your board/skis on the rack and go to your car or whatever having piece of mind that it’s secure and not getting swiped. Not flimsy at all and I’ve tried to stress test it by pulling the cable while it was locked in place as well. THIS FITS IN YOUR POCKET WITH NO ISSUES WHILE YOU SHRED! I put this cable lock in my pocket when I go ride and it’s so small and compact that I don’t even feel it or notice that it’s there. I’ve wiped out so many times and have landed on where I put it…didn’t even notice and it caused no issues. No rust issues at all either. I recommend this product!

I bought this to use for skiing when taking a break in the lodge or any other time I need to lock up my skis for a short time. Like any kind of portable lock, it's really just a deterrent; if someone wants to steal your skis on the hill, they will. My hope is that a portable lock will just be enough of a hassle for someone that they won't bother. So I'm not expecting a lock at this size and price point to be anything too fancy. That being said, I docked two stars because this lock just isn't quite as sturdy as other portable locks I've had - the cable wobbles around and doesn't lock very smoothly at all. When putting the male end of the cable into the locking port, there's no real "click" that tells you whether it's securely fastened or not. At first it seemed to be closed, but then I would pull on the cable and it popped out easily. After trying a couple more times, it wouldn't come out of the locking port with a little tug - so I assume that meant it had locked properly. I much prefer to have a satisfying "click" when I'm using a lock of any kind. Overall it works okay, but I wouldn't buy it again. Like most people, I rely on honest product reviews to make purchase decisions. Because the experience of others has been so helpful to me, I try to provide honest, helpful reviews to assist other shoppers in selecting the right products for them. I hope my review has been helpful to you!

Bought these for a trip to Europe. They were recommended for the train as you’re sometimes not able to keep an eye on your luggage. We did end up using them and the comfort of knowing our luggage was secure made the purchase worth it. They were very easy to “code” and to secure around your luggage and train rails.

Super practico para para asegurar tu mochila. Por lo regular me gusta llevar una mochila a la playa para ahi guardar mis lentes, telefono, cartera, bocina, llaves, cambio, camara, bloqueadores, toalla etc El problema es que cuando viajo solo siempre tengo pendiente de dejarla sola cuando me meto a nadar al mar o te paras a caminar, al baño o a equis cosa. Vi este candado para amarrar cosas y fue la solucion perfecta, le metes un candado a los cierres de tu mochila y por el candado le pasas el cable y lo puedes fijar al poste de la palapa o a tu camastro. Es imposible que abran tu mochila o se la lleven (Ojo ocupas un candado de viaje y este candado con cable) de esta manera puedes asegurar decenas de cosas. Obvio esto para un ambiente turistico, el cable es delgado pero bastante fuerte, imposible de tronar en un entorno de este tipo, el cable es bastante largo, da para rodear postes y el seguro por combinacion es muy bueno. Trae un boton retractil. Yo creo sirve para viajes, oficina, escuela etc Excelente producto, totalmente recomendable.

I have 3 of these locks now. Great for quick and easy lock up of ski gear. I easily get my skis and poles locked together. Cable could possibly be cut thru with some wire cutters, but it's more a persuasive measure to stop impulsive theives. I still lock my skis and keep them in view, but if you take your eyes off them for a minute, the locks may help keep them there. Also... The locks are very easy to setup and use, and I think will last quite a while. I've used one lock last year and brought 2 more for this season. Good stuff

I bought this for a business trip after reading that it had topped the recommended list for locks - it's absolutely fantastic! Very easy to use, and allow me to secure my suitcase to the metal luggage rack during my train journeys, and then to the handrails in the hotel room when I went out. You can adjust the cable to whatever length is needed, and it's very strong. Highly recommended and great value for money!

Would have been good but when I received it, it was locked. I tried 000 combination because it is supposed to be the default but it didnt work. So I still couldn’t use it until now. I waste my money

After my last combination lock got broke, I got this one as I hoped it would last. It was much bigger than expected, but it held out pretty well. I use it on a rolling tool bag to keep 2 zippered panels closed, and as I can use just 1 lock, its great. I can't attest to the durability as it got cut off in Australia as they didn't have the ability to use a TSA key?? (They were kind enough to put it in the tool bag, with a nice cut mark through the wire)
