How to Set Lock on New Samsonite Suitcase

Setting the lock on luggage is really simple. You just follow the steps that we’ve explained below, and you’ll be able to set up your luggage lock within a few minutes.

But before we get to our step-by-step guide, let me tell you about a few things that you should know while setting or resetting the code.

Things to know before setting lock

• The first thing you need to know is that different Samsonite suitcase models have different types of locks that look different from each other, but let me tell you that the basic principle is always the same. So don’t worry if your suitcase lock looks different; just follow the process.
  
• The second thing is that whenever you get a new piece of Samsonite luggage, the default set code is always 0-0-0.
  
• The third thing is that if you notice your luggage lock carefully, you’ll find a small pin-sized button in a square or circular shape. This button is called the reset button.
  
• You need a pen or any other pointed object to set or reset the Samsonite lock, so make sure you have it with you.
  
• Every lock has a lever, but the location of the lever varies, as you can see below in the picture.

Follow the step-by-step process.

Now let’s start with the step-by-step process.

1. Considering that your new luggage came locked, the first thing you need to do is align and set all three dials to zero and slide the lock lever. As soon as you slide the lever, the lock will release the zippers, which you should take out of the lock.
   
2. Now look at your lock carefully; somewhere on your lock, you’ll find a small pin-sized button in a circular or square shape. Take a pen or any other pointed and sharp object, and press and hold that small button until you hear a click coming from your luggage lock.
   
3. Don’t worry if you see the button stay pressed.
   
4. Now you’ll have to set your own code—the code that you wish to set. For that, you’ll simply have to adjust the dials to your desired code. For instance, if you want your new code to be 8-2-7, then adjust the dials to 8-2-7.
   
5. After setting your desired code, slide the lever again. As you do it, you’ll again hear a click sound, and the small, pin-sized button will come back to its usual position.

Once the button comes back, that means that you’ve successfully set the lock code.

Test the new Combination

But we’re not done yet; once the lock is successfully set to your desired code, you’ll have to test if the lock opens on the previous or any other random code or not.

To do it, you’ll have to follow a few steps that we’ve explained below.

1. Put the zipper in the lock teeth and rotate the dial of the lock to the previous set code, which was 0-0-0. Slide the lever, and the lock should not open.
2. Now align the dials to your new set code and slide the lever to ensure that the lock opens on your newly set code.
3. If it opens, that means it testifies that you’ve successfully set the lock on your Samsonite luggage.

Tips on Setting Combination Code

How to Reset the Samsonite luggage Lock

If you’re luggage is not a newly purchased one and you’ve already set a code for your luggage lock, if you want to reset that code for any reason, the process is nearly the same as the procedure explained above. However, there are a few changes you’ll have to keep in mind.

So let’s take a closer look at how you can reset the Samsonite suitcase lock.

• Align the dial to your current combination: The first thing you need to do is align all three dials to your current combination code. For example, if your current code is 7-2-6, then set the code to 7-2-6.
  
• Press and hold the reset button. Once you align the current code, take a pen or any other sharp object and press and hold the small pin-sized button (explained above) until you hear the same click sound. Don’t worry if the button stays pressed.
  
• Dial your own code. Now you can reset your current code and set your own desired combination. Whatever code you want to set, just align the dials to your desired combination.
  
• Confirm your new combination. Once you set the new combination, you’ll have to slide the lever. This is to confirm your new code.
  
• Test the new code: It’s recommended to test the combination. To do it, just put the zippers inside the lock, set the dials to the previous code, and slide the lever a few times to verify if the lock opens or not. You can also test it on any other random code, and the lock should not open in any case.
  
• Unlock your luggage. Now come back to your newly set combination code, then slide the lever. As soon as you slide the lever, you’ll notice your lock open.
  
• Congratulations! If it happens, that means you’ve successfully reset your Samsonite luggage lock.
