Important Notes
The product includes one red luggage lock only; no additional keys or accessories are provided since it uses a user-settable combination. Care should be taken when setting the initial combination to avoid forgetting it, as resetting requires precise alignment of internal dials. The vinyl cable, while protective, may wear over time with heavy handling or exposure to extreme temperatures. Always verify that your airline or destination allows locks on checked luggage, as some policies prohibit them entirely.
