Durable Lock Firmly Secures Your Luggage
At three pounds in weight, the Travel Sentry Locking Luggage Strap is heavy duty and durable. It can accommodate any piece of luggage thanks to a 78-inch adjustable webbed strap. At the center of the strap is a three-dial combination lock, which you can use to set your very own security code. To use the Travel Sentry, simply stretch the belt over your luggage, tighten it, and set the lock in place. You'll be able to rest assured that your baggage's contents are safe while you travel.

TSA-Approved Lock Saves You Hassle at Airports
Travel Sentry locks are fully approved and condoned by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). It is important that you use a TSA-approved lock when securing your luggage. If you use a non-approved lock, you may face complications at the airport or, worse still, have your lock broken or confiscated.

Airport check-in personnel are trained to identify the Travel Sentry logo, and will allow it to remain locked. Because it is approved, TSA screeners won't cut or damage the lock in the event that your baggage needs to be inspected. They will simply open your lock with a special tool, inspect, and relock your bags, sending them quickly and securely on their way.

As a precaution, you should continue to use your lock even after you've left the airport. You can use the lock as a theft deterrent to protect your bags, even in your hotel room and at the bell desk.

The Travel Sentry 4682DBLK is protected by Master Lock's two-year limited warranty.

This review is from: Master Lock 4682DBLK TSA Accepted Luggage Locking Strap, 78-Inches, Black (Tools & Home Improvement)

As the other reviewer pointed out, it does the job but it is plastic and it seemed to me that a good hit with some object or even some strong pulls on the strap (like a baggage handler using it as grip) would break it open.

I purchased this to secure a video camera case because security would not allow me to lock the case using the built-in keyed locks. So instead of leaving a few thousand dollars of equipment unlocked I needed a solution such as this strap to at least give me minimum lock ability and a small piece of mind.

It worked great on three trips and stayed secure. I don't know if the TSA ever needed to open it or not but all was secure. The fourth trip did not fare so well, actually it is more of a mystery. The locking strap simply was gone at my destination. I have no idea what may have happened to it but all my case contents were still there. So there you go, at the very least the lock was released and somehow discarded by TSA knuckleheads or it broke during handling. I did purchase another one though so for me it does fill that bare minimum locking need.

Wonderful product idea. Borrowed a hard golf case from a friend but no way to use regular TSA lock. The locking strap looks perfect. Anyway, to the point... what good is a locking strap if I can adjust the size when it is locked and slip it off what ever it is strapped on. Sure, it takes a couple SECONDS. This is nothing but a cosmetic product unless you are going to strap it to something that is around 78-inches so someone can't just adjust the size and get at whatever you thought you were protecting. A more logical version of this would be more like a belt where the lock wouldn't allow any adjustment to the size unless you opened the lock. Learn from my lesson and don't buy this product.

4.0 out of 5 stars Just what I needed, October 3, 2008

This review is from: Master Lock 4682DBLK TSA Accepted Luggage Locking Strap, 78-Inches, Black (Tools & Home Improvement)

This TSA accepted luggage strap was just what I needed for my trip overseas that involved several connecting flights. My only concern as many other reviewers have mentioned, is the durability of the lock part itself. The lock is made out of hard and bulky plastic- considering how luggage tends to get roughed up, it seems to be a matter of time/luck just how long it'll last without cracking or breaking apart. However, this seems to be the only TSA accepted locking strap available as of now. I look forward to an upgraded version one day. So far, it has survived through six overseas flights with no damage.
