SearchAlert TSA Luggage Lock Pewter

Travel with peace of mind knowing your belongings are protected by a TSA approved lock. This easy-to-use mechanical combination TSA lock lets you know your luggage was opened at the airport. These locks are accepted and recognized by the TSA in the US and HMCE in the UK. Feel safe knowing that your luggage is locked worldwide. The SearchAlert re-settable combination lock Model 7400 PTR was designed with a security feature which allows TSA security agents, using a secured access device to open the SearchAlert lock without destroying the lock. TSA agents are trained to recognize the Travel Sentry Certified Logo and should not break the luggage lock.

The SearchAlert security window changes from Green to Red when the device has been opened, whether by an authorized or unauthorized person. You can easily set the window back to Green using your own personal combination.

• Avoid costly damage to your luggage that could be caused by using regular luggage locks
• Red light alerts you quickly that your lock has been opened, giving you an opportunity to examine contents at airport
• Reset the lock quickly and easily using your own personal combination

The Security Window shows Red under the following conditions:

Luggage checked at an Airport is sent through an electronic screening. If a TSA agent determines the luggage needs to be hand searched, the SearchAlert lock will be opened by the TSA agent. When the TSA secured access device is used, the SearchAlert window changes color from Green to Red. The SearchAlert window should also change color if the luggage lock is tampered.

If a TSA Agent hand searches a piece of luggage, the agent should leave a TSA Notification of Baggage Inspection in the bag. If the SearchAlert lock Security Window shows Red, and no official Notification of Baggage Inspection is found, the traveler should take the luggage to the airlines baggage services office to determine if  items are missing items.

The SearchAlert case is constructed in a rugged metal alloy. Other "bargain tsa locks" have plastic cases and no patented indicator.

Comments about SearchAlert TSA Luggage Lock Pewter

I love these locks! You can tell when a TSA agent has opened your bag and then placed the lock back on. There is no cutting of locks since these are TSA approved locks. Remembering the lock combination is easier than carrying a key to open the lock. They are light and easy to use. I use these locks every time I travel which is mostly by airplane and sometimes by car.

Comments about SearchAlert TSA Luggage Lock Pewter

I hate travelling with unlocked luggage so using TSA approved locks is a must. The price is reasonable and free shipping is a plus. These locks are easy to "program" and use. Unfortunately, TSA itself has somehow managed to mangle 3 of the locks, so lifespan has been a bit of an issue. However, due to the reasonable price, I have shrugged it off and just purchased additional units.

This easy to use lock means one doesn't have to worry that bags will be opened by unauthorized personnel. A glance at the color code will show if the lock has been tampered with.

These are the locks we always use. TSA opened my husband's suitcase on his last trip, but didn't replace the lock. My purchase was to replace it, to be sure we always had them on hand!
