(picking 692) TSA 007 suitcase lock defeated in 3 ways - is it any good?

Thanks to 'lockmania' for this lock. The combination lock mechanism cannot be tensioned as no resistance on the wheels can be felt when pushing the button. However the wheel's gate can be visually recognized or detected with a feeler gauge (made from a plastic bottle). This will reveal the code and the lock opens. But the worst part is the TSA007 lock that can be raked open with just a pick - only 3 wafers and bad tolerance do not hold very long.

Mr puzzle guy

[@BreakthroughEmpowered]

Life saver 🙌

[@notusingthis600]

You're a life saver. Just bought a new suitcase, changed the factory code and couldn't open it anymore. This video worked 100% on the first try. Thanks a lot.

[@Potti314]

Glad it helped.

[@cammass3382]

Same for me ! It worked perfectly. Thanks. I'm now just a bit concern about the security of my suitcase 😅.

[@thehollowbible]

Thank you! The part where the gates were on my lock were painted green and therefore incredibly difficult to see if the gate was visible. The trick with the piece of plastic helped me get into my luggage quite easily

[@camillecooley2976]

Thank you for this video! I bought a used suitcase from the goodwill and wanted to use the lock function - I managed to figure out the code in under 5 minutes!

[@paulinuschah2099]

You would not believe how dumb I have been for more than one year now since I bought my box but didn’t know how to set a new lock code, so I didn’t lock my box.
You are awesome.
Thanks a lot

[@sagarswami]

Thank you very much , I am in Dubai on holiday , it’s 12:44 am I tried your technique & I am finally able to open my bag.
Much appreciate

[@kubaZA]

Thanks for the very clear instructions. My cheap suit somehow changed the code on my and using your gate technique it opened up very quickly.

[@LockNoob]

Great video - I love watching you explore locks like this, interesting to see you can feel the gates :-)

[@Potti314]

Yeah, quite nice to look inside.

[@SomebodySaid...]

THANK YOU!!! I didn't even know I was supposed to put the zipper pulls into the lock to lock it. Plus I needed to change the code and didn't know how to do that either. I'm 67 years old and I can't thank you enough for sharing how to work this lock!

[@domeniquetrueman2978]

You are a lifesaver! Pulled out my 10+ year old suitcase for a trip this morning and realised with dread I had no idea what code I could possibly have set back then. The thing about seeing the gates saved me!

[@somalitik3605]

Thank you very much brother, my bag was locked for a while but tonight when I watched the video it opened.

[@donaldcantrellsr.1833]

i just bought a nice used bag that had a lock without a key. Your video is amazing and provided ways to unlock. A small screwdriver or nail clippers allowed me to unlock the lock. Big THANKS!

[@klausnielsen1537]

Thank you.
I forgot the code for a similar looking lock after years of not using it and now I can pack my gear. Much appreciated.
I have the lock to ensure the zippers stay closed during the travel.

[@saintinlower48]

I couldn't visually see (I was packing in dim light) how the lock could hold the zipper handle and you showed me in less than 30 seconds! Thank you!

[@nidanavaz]

I cannot thank u enough for this video. I got my bag locked and was so grateful for this video

[@RajeshKumar009]

One huge virtual hug from my side 🙂
Thank's and lots of blessings to you.
Keep doing good work 👍👍
Cheers 🥂

[@hirschheisstdermann]

Whoa, you saved my day! The flashlight looking for the gates did it for me. Have a big thumbs up!

[@user-wi2dr2hy2t]

Potti314, you are lifesaver! My fiancee bought a suitcase in Japan during the pandemic where she got stuck for almost a year due to the travel restriction. To make matters worse she forgot the new combination but fortunately she didn't lock it. Now, after watching your video it's finally ready for a new combination. Thank you my friend.

[@LockpickingsGal]

Great video and great review of this lock!! Happy pickings!!

[@Potti314]

Thanks for stopping by.

[@stephankepley977]

I bought a new bag that someone had already set the lock on. I was able to defeat it and reset it by watching your video. Thanks!

[@robertgdansk]

Thank you! The first solution saved my life on a trip 💪🏻❤️❤️

[@KeithChung88]

Thank you for your great video, also locked myself out of a cheapy back pack lock and was able to find it just by looking at the gates as you suggested.

[@yuvalshemesh7859]

Thanks a lot for this video. Could open my suitcase within 2 min (without any prior experience) and rearrange the lost code.
I used the visual gate method

[@manishakaramchandani9232]

Hey this video was a life saver 🙏 just a couple of days before my travel, i packed some stuff and my suitcase malfunctioned.. so after watching this video, I was able to unlock my stupid suitcase! Thank you.

[@Potti314]

Glad it helped and thanks for stopping by.

[@pineconewhisper]

Thanks man. Just got into my sisters weed stash. Fr ur a life saver.

[@deez5023]

😂

[@calvinkupper7936]

my parents have this shit I’m tryna get into that shit lmao

[@pineconewhisper]

@@calvinkupper7936 do what he said. Look from the underneath till it gets in click or whatever then turn it 2 or 3 times to the left and it opens! Also I did more research it comes from the factory set to “0-0-0” so if ur parents never changes it there it is.

[@wifi1000]

Fr forgot my own passcode

[@CANADIANBEROZGAAR]

👹

[@Swynndla]

Great decoding and picking mate! Clearly explained and a joy to watch. Well done. :D

[@Potti314]

Thanks. Glad you liked it.

[@axetrac]

Forgot the combination to my suitcase the day I first set it. Finally managed to crack the code. Thanks a ton!

[@deekshachobarkar1705]

Awesome! Thanks it really helped to open the bag...I just forgot my pin and it was locked..with your ways...it's unlocked again..thanks again!

[@kenjiroumiyamoto1432]

Got to a hotel after flying, lock combo magically changed somehow. The gate orientation tip allowed my sister to get her change of clothes back. Thank you so much

[@devildoc492]

Just happened to my wife....left one place and when she arrived at the home airport, the combo was changed. No doubt some lackey baggage handler.

[@margaretranjitham8679]

Thanx a lot. Much needed information at right time. Opened safari lock

[@threedeedensoniii51]

Wife forgot her Samsonite lock combo .. this worked like a charm! Thanks a bunch!

[@hadarbuda8]

Worked for too with the gates technique! Thanks a lot!! 👌👌

[@user-vm2cs8pq1s]

Forgot the code to my old suitcase. Method 2 worked like a charm. Thank you.

[@liczy5288]

The trick using plastic to feel the gate save me cause in my case the gap not visible, thanks for sharing!

[@DX9224]

Thank you! The gate thing worked I finally unlocked my bag after 3 years, now I can lock my bag when I travel.

[@Potti314]

Cool - thanks for the feedback.

[@dee6159]

I forgot my code , did u put in a new code after unlocking your bag?

[@antMANscochiey]

Thanks so much! Bought a Chinese knock off of one of these locks and accidentally set it to a code that I didn't remember. Worked like a charm!

[@TheCrealkiller]

my brother gave me an old backpack of his that has this similar lock, but without the tsa keyhole, didnt remember the code, so this video helped a lot.

[@didemshakirov3364]

You have no idea how much you helped to me! Just bought a american tourister luggage from amazon. I wanted to set a code an it got stuck. I tried their factory code (which was 000) and also my code. It didn’t helped. I tried all codes from 000-200 but i gave up. Eventually i found your video and i was like, this is not gonna work. BUT YOU JUST SAVED MY LIFE🖤🖤

[@BeyondTheSide]

thanks, had to use the trick with the plastic to open my suitcase. i was alr prepared to use a regular lock for it but this allowed me to find my old combination

[@SimiGuha]

Thanks for this video! It was really too helpful 👏👏

[@Potti314]

Thanks.

[@MateoAgulla7]

Thanks the first method was absolutely perfect 👏

[@mariadodge8432]

Thank you so much. I changed the factory code, and then I didn't use the luggage for years, so now I couldn't remember it.

[@ghaliabdulhadi5067]

Thank you 🤗 I was initially starting to prick out

[@lyleburlingame2276]

Worked like a charm . Thanks!

[@just_jhajha913]

[@chrisgallagher4031]

Thank you I used the second method and worked a treat.

[@Galaxy-91-]

Thank you so much. The gates method worked for me.

[@psymmy]

The gate technique helped me to unlock my luggage 😂 still in actual shock, thank you!!

[@sameerazenib9678]

What is the gate mechanism? I'm not sure what l am meant to be looking for 😮

[@arali2672]

Thank you very much. Your video is very useful. I hope you will give more videos like this

[@jesselang2010]

Absolute legend! Saved us a heap of time.

[@LibertyKazhanje1981]

Thanks for this , was stuck after resetting factory unlock combinations🎉

[@lowgina361]

Got it by feeling the grooves. THANKS ! No need to get a new luggage❤

[@yom73]

The lock on my luggage (which seems identical to this one) makes a very clear and distinct sound when the wheel is in the right position. Nothing to pick, to decode or to tension, just turn the wheel and listen : tok, tok, tok, tok, TIK. It is even faster than entering the code.

[@Potti314]

Haha, so you can open it even in the dark ;-)

[@nanamisushibar]

Great video. Worked perfectly

[@thduring4816]

Thank YOU, you saved me and my daughter a lot of frustration! :)

[@1mach28914u1]

I managed to open my suitcase but only by picking the lock. Thanks for the tip.

[@mihailivanov116]

Thank you man! You safe my day!

[@blackmamba9950]

Thanks, it was helpful and I was able to open an old unused suitcase

[@cristiander]

That's scary 😧. I bought a bag recently that should had come with the 0-0-0 factory code. But not. Some customer probably messed up, then your video solved the problem👏

[@rowanmurphy5239]

The gate alignment method worked immediately. Very simple.

[@Sandvink]

I had a small suitcase for handlugge that i accidentality locked. The lock is almost the same but missing the TSA-part. I found the gates and turn them in the right direction all until it opened. Thank a lot.

[@Potti314]

You're welcome - thanks for the feedback.

[@alyannaboado8295]

Thank you so much!!! Really helpful 💓

[@Potti314]

Great - glad to read that the video was helpful.

[@travelogue7642]

Had you been in front of me right now, I would've hugged you. You're awesome. 🤗🤗🤗

[@Potti314]

Thanks a lot for your nice comment.

[@Aranimda]

It's funny that these locks only seem to be effective to keep the owners out of their own suitcases because for any thief, picker or govt employee these locks are a joke.

[@juliahelena7983]

Thanks. You help me a lot.

[@YashJainyashj3]

Wow! Thanks for the video. I managed to open my suitcase 😀.

[@elainesouza9086]
