Forge Open Alert TSA008 Travel Locks — 4 Pack Black Cable Locks
Product description
What’s in the box: four resettable TSA008 cable locks in black with visible red inspection indicators.
Locking mechanism and inspection alert: each unit uses the newer cylindrical TSA008 core and a precision 3D keyway. A red marker becomes visible if an approved inspection has been performed, and the design requires the lock to be closed before the master key can be withdrawn to reduce the chance of a bag being left unlatched.
Construction and materials: the main housings are zinc alloy for strength and longevity; internal load-bearing and operating parts are metal. Only the number dials and the red indicator are plastic. The set is backed by a lifetime warranty.
Combination system: a four-digit dial offers 10,000 possible codes. The reset mechanism is engineered for reliable engagement so chosen combinations stay consistent and are less prone to setup errors.
Cable and compatibility: the coated flexible steel cable is sized to fit zipper pulls, carry-on sliders, backpacks, small travel cases and many lockable bins without adding bulk. It’s intended for general travel security and to deter opportunistic access.

Very good travel locks
Picked these up for an overseas trip — solid metal bodies and easy to use. One cable developed a slight kink but still works fine. Black finish with red marker is handy. I’d recommend them.

Les O 5/5
Not impervious but sturdy and practical
Plenty heavier than other travel locks I’ve tried. Features I like: 4-digit code, visible red inspection marker and easy code setup.

Amber Berg 5/5
Secure and roomy shank
Very nice locks. The cable is large enough to weave through two straps and the code is simple to set.

Prefer numbers over tiny keys
Nice alternative to key locks. Instructions were clear, though holding the lock steady while changing numbers took a bit of patience.

JMK 5/5
Excellent TSA locks with useful safety features
These feel well made from the moment you open the package: heavy zinc alloy case, clear dials and a flexible cable that fits every zipper slider I tried. The red indicator and requirement to relock before the inspection key is removed give real peace of mind. Changing the 4-digit code was quick and straightforward. Great value and reliable performance.

Handy for dorm storage and meds
Used this on a lockable tool bin for my son’s meds. An extra couple inches of cable would help, but it does the job. Combination is easy to set. Good for securing small boxes around a dorm.

Perform well and easy to set
They seem secure and programming the code was straightforward. We used similar 3-digit models before and were happy; these offer more digits for added peace of mind.
