Troubleshooting
TSA lock won't open or accept new combination.
Ensure you are using the correct 3-digit combination. If you've forgotten it, try cycling through all 1000 combinations (000-999) while pressing the release button, or contact Gino Ferrari customer support for assistance. To reset, ensure the lock is set to the *current* working combination before pressing the reset button.
Wheels are sticking or not rolling smoothly.
Check the wheels for any hair, lint, or debris that might be caught in the axles. Use tweezers or a small tool to carefully remove any obstructions. A small amount of silicone lubricant (avoid oil-based lubricants) can be applied to the axle area if dryness is the issue.
Telescopic handle feels stiff or gets stuck.
Ensure the lock button is fully depressed when extending or retracting. Check for any visible damage or obstructions in the handle mechanism. If it's still stiff, try extending it fully and retracting it several times. Avoid overloading the suitcase beyond its weight capacity, as this can put undue stress on the handle.
Zipper snags or gets stuck.
Do not force a stuck zipper. Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper teeth and try to work the slider back and forth. You can use a pencil or a small amount of lubricant (like zipper wax or graphite from a pencil) on the teeth to help the slider move more smoothly. Ensure the suitcase isn't overpacked, which can cause tension on the zipper.

- With the lock set to its default combination (usually `0-0-0`), press the reset button until you hear a click or feel it stay down.
- Set your desired 3-digit combination by turning the dials.
- Push the main latch or button (where you normally open the lock) firmly to release the reset button back into place. Your new combination is now set.
