Tools and Hardware Reviews of Master Lock 4687DNKL Instant Alert TSA Accepted Luggage LockCustomer Review: Great programmable TSA Luggage Lock Summary: 5 Stars
Very good build quality, made of metal with 3 digit combination lock that is programmable.
From factoy this is preset with 000 which you can see on window on edge opposite of locking clasp
If the lock has been opened by a TSA agent, the red wings come up so you know instantly if your luggage was searched
To lock, here is the procedure
1) First test your lock - set combination to something other than 000 with lock in clasp
2) Then open by setting combination to 000 - you set this to window on edge (opposite side of locking clasp)
3) Once you know it works, then you open lock and turn metal locking lever 90 degrees so that it gets depressed into metal case.
You will notice a little fin at bottom of metal locking lever, then you can turn it towards the window where you will set your
new combination. Once you have set it, remember it or write it down.
4) Next turn metal locking lever back 90 degrees and then turn it counter clockwise (it only goes in one direction) two full times
so you pass locking clasp twice and put locking lever in clasp. Then turn combination to something other than what you programmed
and it will lock.
5) Turn combination on window on edge to your new programmed combination and it will open
Simple, I bought six of these for my luggage.
Update 3/6/11 - this held up great with my trip over to India. One luggage piece was searched as I had a voltage converter in it and I could tell with the red plastic piece being extended that it was searched and had a TSA notice inside. Just be careful the airline does NOT put a sticker over the combination, then it becomes extremely difficult to remove. Kingfisher airlines did this and I had a job to remove the sticker to open the locks. Great locks, buy them!

The new TSA-accepted Master Lock padlock 4687DNKL was designed with a security feature that allows TSA airport security agents to open the lock without destroying it. TSA agents are trained to recognize the Travel Sentry Certified logo and should not break the luggage lock. The red indicator pops up when the lock has been opened by TSA. You can reset the lock with your personal combination. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) now suggests you lock your checked baggage with TSA-accepted and recognized locks. Travel Sentry? Certified locks are accepted and recognized by the TSA. Look for the Travel Sentry? symbol when shopping for TSA-accepted products.
Master Lock has joined together with TSA and Travel Sentry? to use the special Travel Sentry? mark on luggage locks that meet the requirements of the TSA. Airline check-in staff are trained to recognize the Travel Sentry? mark, so they understand that baggage with this special mark is permitted to remain locked. The TSA screeners have access to special tools that allow them to open TSA-accepted locks in the event that your bags must be opened for inspection. Airport security professionals no longer need to cut your lock or force your bag open and risk damaging it. They simply open your locks, inspect, and relock your bags, sending them quickly and securely on their way. The red-and-white Travel Sentry? logo on Master Lock TSA-Accepted locks notifies TSA screeners that they can unlock, inspect, and relock the bag without damaging the lock.
** A red indicator pops up to indicate that TSA has opened the lock. No indicator means that TSA has not opened the lock.

Travel Tips from Master Lock
Whether you're traveling within the United States or abroad, follow these simple steps to protect you and your belongings: - When checking your baggage, use a Master Lock TSA-accepted locking device--the one device the airport screeners won't cut! These locks allow TSA screeners to inspect and relock your baggage without damaging your lock.
- Secure your carry-on bags with a Master Lock TSA-accepted locking closure as an additional safeguard.
- Place your contact information inside and outside your baggage. This provides the fastest way to be reunited with your baggage if it is lost or mishandled.
- Use a TSA-accepted lock on all bags throughout your trip--even in your hotel room and at the bell desk--as an additional theft deterrent. Available locks include: set your own combination, keyed, or locking luggage straps.
- Carry an ATM card, credit cards, or traveler's checks instead of cash. Keep your traveler's checks in a money belt under your clothing for extra protection.
- As recommend by the U.S. State Department, register your trip in case of emergency with the free online service: travelregistration.state.gov
- Sign your passport, include emergency contact information, and give copies of it and other important documents to a family member or trusted friend in case of an emergency.
