TSA Approved Locks

[OCDPlanner]

Does anybody have any idea where to get TSA approved locks?!?

We leave Wednesday and I have a real problem with leaving my luggage unlocked. I've checked Walmart, Target and Walgreens. Every salesperson I asked was like "Huh?"

Can you only get these at a luggage store or something?

Thanks!

What I usually do is get some zip locks, the kind you feed through a hole, on one end, and pull it tight. If TSA needs to they can cut them off, and if they do they will seal it back up with the same kind of zip lock.

You may want to look at one of the luggage stores at the mall as they would most likely have them. You can order them online as well at http://www.ebags.com/ebags/tsa_accepted_4_dial_combo_lock/product_detail/index.cfm?modelid=18431

FYI you can also get zip-ties at your local hardware store or Home Depot. Walmart probably has them too in their hardware section.

I got them last year at walmarts. They are like 1.00 for about 50 of them. these work out well since they can cut them if they want to inspect your luggage and they use the same type of thing to lock it back up. We will be using them again this summer. I do believe they were in the hardware section

If you live near a major mall, you can find them at Brookstone or Sharper Image. Many luggage outlet stores (Samsonite and American Tourister) carry them also.

I just use zip ties, but at Sears I saw some locks, that you could they could twist off if they needed to get into your luggage.
