Changing a Travel Sentry (TSA) lock typically involves a simple process of setting a new combination after opening the lock with the current one. Based on the provided video excerpt, here's how you can likely change the combination on your 3-dial TSA-approved travel lock:
- Open the Lock: Ensure the lock is open using the current combination.
- Locate the Reset Mechanism: On some locks, this might involve sliding or pulling a switch or button. The video excerpt mentions moving "the numbers over on this side," suggesting a lever or button may need to be shifted.
- Set the New Combination: With the reset mechanism activated, dial in your desired new combination (e.g., "one, two, three").
- Deactivate the Reset Mechanism: Return the switch or button to its original position. This will lock in the new combination. The video mentions moving something "back" and pulling "it back up" which indicates how to complete this.
- Test the New Combination: Try opening the lock with the new combination to ensure it's been set correctly.
Important Considerations:
- Specific Model Variations: The exact steps might vary slightly depending on the specific brand and model of your TSA lock. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions if available.
- Record Your Combination: Keep a record of your new combination in a safe place. Some people find it helpful to store this information digitally, using a password manager, or by taking a picture of the combination.
