Troubleshooting
TSA lock is difficult to open or reset
Ensure you are correctly aligning the numbers for the combination. If resetting, double-check that you are pressing the reset mechanism fully and following the specific instructions for your lock model. If issues persist, contact customer support.
Spinner wheels are stiff or don't rotate smoothly
Check the wheels for any trapped debris such as threads, hair, or small stones. Clean the wheel housing and axle with a damp cloth. If the issue persists, the wheel mechanism may require professional attention.
Telescopic handle is stuck or difficult to extend/retract
Ensure there is no obstruction within the handle tubes. Try gently wiggling the handle while extending or retracting. Avoid forcing it. If it remains stuck, inspect for damage and contact support.
Zipper on the main compartment or expandable section is stuck
Gently try to move the zipper pull back and forth. Rubbing a graphite pencil lead or a bit of wax along the teeth can help lubricate it. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.
Hard shell has cosmetic scratches
Minor scratches are normal wear and tear for hard shell luggage. For cosmetic touch-ups, you can try specialized plastic repair kits or colored waxes, though results may vary. Ensure functionality is not affected.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- TSA Lock: The lock is typically pre-set to open at `0-0-0`. To set your own combination, ensure the lock is open, then find the reset mechanism (often a small button or switch near the dials) and follow the instructions provided with the lock. Set your desired three-digit code and reset the mechanism.
- Expandable Zipper: For expandable sizes, locate the zipper that runs around the perimeter of the suitcase. Unzip it to gain approximately 2-3 inches of additional packing space.
Compatibility:
- Luggage Handling: Designed to be compatible with standard airline baggage handling systems. Always verify current airline size and weight restrictions before travel.
- TSA Inspection: The TSA-approved lock is compatible with Transportation Security Administration (TSA) screening processes worldwide.
Care:
- Cleaning the Exterior: Wipe the ABS shell with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use mild soap and water, then dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Cleaning the Interior: Use a damp cloth to wipe the lining. Allow to air dry completely before storing.
- Wheel Maintenance: Periodically check the spinner wheels for debris. Clean them with a damp cloth and ensure they spin freely.
- Storage: Store the suitcase in a cool, dry place, preferably in a dust bag or its original packaging to prevent scratches. If storing multiple suitcases, consider placing the smaller one inside the larger one to save space, using protective material between them.
