Why Use TSA Lock?
Damage-Free Inspection — When security agencies need to inspect your checked luggage, TSA locks allow them to open and relock it using a master key—without causing any damage to your suitcase.
Global Security System — Recognized in over 50 countries worldwide, the TSA system provides travelers with greater convenience and peace of mind, ensuring the integrity and safety of their luggage.
Time Efficiency — The TSA system streamlines security inspections, reducing the time and resources required by security agencies, which helps minimize flight delays and operational costs for airlines and airports.
How to Identify a TSA Lock
Look for the red diamond logo — the official symbol of TSA-approved locks. Each TSA lock also has a unique code ranging from TSA001 to TSA008, which indicates the specific master key used by security officers.
Luggex uses high-quality TSA locks produced by YIF, one of the leading OEM manufacturers of TSA locks, and many premium luggage brands work with them for lock components.
