Tools and Hardware Reviews of Master Lock 4687DNKL Instant Alert TSA Accepted Luggage Lock
Customer Review: Just as advertised
Summary: 4 Stars
With the first use on two checked bags one was opened by TSA. The lock functioned as it was supposed to. So TSA was happy and I had the security that I was looking for. The locks work well and worth the asking price.Customer Review: Good little lock
Summary: 4 Stars
Needed to be able to lock a case to keep an item safe, but still not have the lock cut off by the TSA. The lock is a bit cheesy but does what it needs to do. Easy to use.Customer Review: Mixed results
Summary: 3 Stars
The lock works very well as a lock. The combination is quite easy to change to whatever code you choose. When I got the lock, one of the first things I did was follow the instructions to test the red indicator that shows if it was opened by the TSA. Everything worked fine. On my return flight, the indicator remained down, showing that the lock was not opened. However, when I got home and opened the suitcase, I found an inspection card inside from the TSA. I tried to test the red indicator as before, but could not get the indicator to pop up as it should. It's not so expensive that I think it is worth the time to bother trying to get a replacement instead of simply buying a new one whenever I decide to fly again, but I am a bit disappointed. Still, the lock worked well as far as being a lock.Customer Review: Decent lock with disappointing design flaw
Summary: 3 Stars
The lock works ok as a way to help secure travel luggage. The indicator is a nice feature to tell if the bag has been opened by the TSA as they sometimes don't leave an inspection card when they open a bag.
However, the lock does have a design flaw that doesn't particularly make any sense. The red flag can be reset both by opening the lock with the right combination, and by pressing a reset button on the outside. The external reset allows anyone with the key to open the lock and clear the flag so that you would never know that it was opened.
Overall it works ok as a luggage lock, but I wouldn't use it on anything else, since you never know how many TSA keys are floating around in public.
Customer Review: Not what I expected
Summary: 3 Stars
I purchased this through Amazon after reading some reviews. I am in my 40's and I have a hard time seeing the numbers on this lock. The actual numbers used to lock/unlock are on the side of the unit and are very hard to read in low lighting. I do not recommend this lock to anyone who may not have the greatest eyesight for small text.
