Tools and Hardware Reviews of Master Lock 4683Q TSA-Approved Nickel Keyed Alike Luggage/Baggage Lock, 4-Pack, colors may vary
Customer Review: Good price, good locks
Summary: 4 Stars
I needed some small, keyed, TSA approved locks on the cheap, and these fit the bill. I have trouble remembering my name, let alone a combination, so the keys worked for me. I also stored the keys separately (one with me, one with my travel mate) so I wouldn't accidentally lose them and be stuck. The TSA didn't cut them open, so apparently they fit those specifications. I also used them while we stayed in hostels... I am not a trusting soul. It did make me feel more secure, though. I thought they were a good deal.Customer Review: Good theft deterrent, but not very secure
Summary: 4 Stars
I recently traveled internationally and had to check 3 bags so I figured a 4-pack of TSA-approved, keyed alike Master locks was my best bet. I'm constantly unlocking and relocking my luggage because I always relock my luggage before leaving the hotel room, so having one key open all of my luggage was very convenient. My only complaint is that these locks aren't as secure as I'd expected from a keyed Master lock. Two security-related reasons that influenced me to purchase these locks are: 1) Master is well known for making quality locks. 2) I wanted keyed lock because I figured it's harder for someone to pick a keyed lock than it is for someone to roll through the combinations. To make a long story short, I accidentally lock the key inside my luggage. That's when I realized the drawback of having one key for 3 bags. I was getting ready to cut the luggage lining when, to my surprise, I was able to open the lock by pulling the lock's shackle with the index finger of my left hand and the lock's body with the index finger of my right hand (yes, I have small hands). The point is it's not very hard to break the lock open. This is great news if you accidentally lose your key or lock the key inside your luggage, but it also means other people can get into your luggage just as easily. I should also mention that while the lock will continue to function after being forced open it may be less secure. I lost my lock on my return flight and I'm guessing that it opened and fell off when the luggage handlers were transporting or loading my bag.
All in all, these locks are great theft deterrents but don't expect high security from such small locks. Likewise, don't expect too much from any luggage lock (like I did); they're all just theft deterrents.
Customer Review: Good, for the price.

Summary: 4 Stars
They're great, the feature that one key opens the whole set is the most convenient one, and it saves you a lot of trouble when you have to open your bags for the TSA people to check on them.
