LUGGEX TSA Approved Suitcase Locks (Cable Locks) – Black, 2 Pack
Product description
What it is and why people buy it
LUGGEX suitcase locks are cable-style luggage locks designed for everyday travel, where you want a simple way to secure zips without adding much bulk. They’re described as TSA approved, with the key point being that airport security can unlock and re-lock your bag using master keys, while your lock itself is a combination (so there’s no physical key to carry around).
On paper, this is the kind of lock you reach for when you’re dealing with standard zip pulls, soft-sided bags, or smaller items like cabin luggage and backpacks. The flexible braided cable is specifically meant to be more accommodating than rigid metal locks that don’t always fit awkward zip arrangements.
The essentials: what you’ll notice in use
The “easy to live with” features here are pretty clear. First, the combination dials are said to have bold, high-contrast numbers, so you’re less likely to misread them in darker airport areas or when you’re rushing.
Second, the cable mechanism is designed to wrap and secure around typical zip pulls. If you’ve ever tried to use a stiff lock on a suitcase where the zip pull sits at a weird angle, you’ll understand why this matters. A cable lock can feel more forgiving, as long as there’s enough space for it to pass through and sit properly.
One limitation to keep in mind: this is a combination lock, so the value is lost if you’re the sort of traveller who forgets codes or prefers keys. If you don’t trust yourself to remember a combination, you might want to think twice.
Key features at a glance
These locks are built around a reinforced ABS body and a braided steel cable. The aim is a balance between being light enough for travel and sturdy enough for daily deterrence.
They’re also described as lightweight—about 33 g per lock—and sized to fit the kinds of handles and zip pulls you’d typically find on hand luggage and backpacks. The package is a 2 pack, which is handy if you lock more than one compartment, or if you want a spare for future trips.

Who it suits (and who should be cautious)
It makes sense if you want a practical, TSA-approved cable lock for everyday trips—particularly if your luggage has standard zip pulls and you don’t want extra weight or bulky hardware.
It may not be the best match if you need something for very specific locking points that don’t work with flexible cables. It can also be a less comfortable choice if you’re likely to change combinations frequently or you dislike combination dials.
And as always with this style of lock, it’s meant for deterrence rather than turning a suitcase into an unbreakable case. If you’re storing valuables that you absolutely cannot risk, you’d still want to consider safer storage habits rather than relying solely on a lock.
Practical tips for getting the most from it
Before you set off, test the lock on your own luggage while you’re at home. Wrap the braided cable where the zip pulls meet and make sure it sits neatly—no twisting, no slack that lets the zips drift back into place.
Also, set a combination you can remember but one that isn’t too obvious. The dials are designed to be easy to read, but “easy to read” doesn’t mean “easy to guess”.
Finally, since it’s TSA approved, it’s worth understanding what that implies: the lock is for TSA officers, not for you to hand over with a physical key. That’s fine for most travellers, but it’s the difference between “keyless convenience” and “key management”.
Is it worth it?
A solid pick if you want a lightweight, cable-style TSA approved luggage lock for cabin travel and standard zip pulls, and you’re happy using a combination rather than carrying a key. The high-contrast dials and flexible cable design are the two things that should matter most in day-to-day use.
You may want to skip it if you strongly prefer key-based locks, or if your suitcase design doesn’t give the cable enough room to secure properly. It’s also the sort of lock that’s best seen as a deterrent, not a guarantee against tampering.
If you’re deciding between buying a simple lock package like this versus going without, or using a bulkier rigid lock style, this one fits the “quick to use, easy to fit, light enough to forget you’ve added it” angle.
