Decoding Away Luggage Suitcase (TSA007 combination lock)

This was a fun journey to learn how to exploit this lock. I wasn't expecting the gates to be so viewable, but it is not impossible to decode this with zero tools and the naked eye. For my suitcase the tolerances were very high making that process very time consuming. Instead I used the sparrows decoder to feel for the gate, but any thin piece of metal will do.

This is only video that worked for opening a locked suitcase with knowing the combination. The secret is adding 5 to each number. Thank you very much.

[@sarabf01]

Wow! That actually worked. I was able to find the combination in about 5 minutes. Thank you!

[@webyheriwiguna6251]

Dear Sir, thank you so much. Your tutorial was working almost a week I’ve been trying and now my luggage is opened. 👍🏽

[@LizA9294]

Thank you!! Used a business card to feel for the tolerances. I felt confident about the first 2 numbers so when it didn’t open on the first try I was able to guess about the 3rd number and it worked!

[@yeniseymartinez3491]

Thank you very much for your Video, it was the only one I could open my Delsey suitcase with, thank you 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏

[@rosedessables3311]

Vraiment merci !! Sans vous je n’avais plus accès à mes affaires et je ne pouvais plus me changer ou me laver sans aller faire des courses et dépenser beaucoup d’argent !! ❤🎉 merci merci merci ❤❤❤

[@samkuang3100]

Great video! You helped me get out of a tough spot!

[@joelcastillo3099]

Thanks! It really worked on Samsonite luggage. Find the gate then add five on each numbers. Very nice cheat code you got here. Cheers! 🍻

[@your20downrange]

Thank you. It works! I didn't have a feeler gauge so I positioned my light to see the reflection off of the metal barrel. I rotated to combo until the reflection changed. After that, the five clicks steps worked perfectly.

[@lijiang6895]

Thank you so much! I use your way to find my combination in less than 1 minute. Thank you again.

[@Marselis35]

Thank you my friend! I wasn’t able to feel for the ridges so well, but I used a flash light to visually view the ridges then added 5 digits like you suggested! It works!

[@0x42red]

Fantastic! And yes using visual cues is also a great way to achieve this. It does depend on the tolerances of your bag, so two identical bags might allow for the visual method while the other might not

[@ahmaadnlola]

I had this suitcase I was struggling with and your video worked bro...tha k you very much

[@pabitrasinha405]

Thank you 🙏. It's a perfect tricks for decoding.

[@KennyAsian]

You my friend are a life saver, literally had no idea what my combo was until I found this video!

[@0x42red]

Glad to have helped! What kind of tool did you use to find the gate? Or did you use your eyes, peaking into the dial?

[@liv04soccer]

@@0x42red I used a top of a salt spout the little piece of metal on containers of salt thank you very much for your video couldn't remember my combo and didn't want to destroy the lock getting into it.

It worked for me. Much thanks for sharing this video.

It worked perfectly😂🎉 Thanks a lot for the tip. I used the corner of a shiny paper.

you have my immense respect

[@natashanataliaputra3690]

Thank you, this has saved me!

[@user-vs3ql3sr4x]

IT WORKS!!!! I felt hopeless trying to feel for it using the edge of a paper, pin, nail file etc and tried to just guess it from 000 to 999 then I gave up at 340 then flashed it with light and just used my eyes. Got it in less than 7 minutes! :D

[@randie5436]

I just received an Away suitcase. Your video really is helpful. However, it would be very beneficial if all these instructions came With the luggage! 😂

Problem solved thanks so much for this video,,👏👍👍👍

[@thedarkness8533]

This video is a living proof of unlocking

[@flerkenlover6560]

I was already about to go crazy and tried all of the combinations, I finally found my combination at 699😅 should've found your tutorial earlier lol

[@ovocs-agtgroup]

That actually worked. I was able to find the combination in about 10 minutes. Thank you!

[@grace_u]

Saved my suitcase as well - thank you!!

[@MN-pu6qx]

A PAPER alternative. Excellent advice but I didn't have a feeler gauge so I used a piece of paper instead which did the job. I used the corner of paper used in a printer.

[@0x42red]

Oh that's awesome, I bet you could also cut a small hook to make it even more effective

[@thomasricardo9833]

The only solution on yt that actually worked for me 👍🙏

[@JackieStacyBakerMusic]

I was about to order this tool or something like it to pick the lock on a suitcase I couldn't access. I did some math. There are 1000 possibilities with a 3 digit lock that goes from 0-9. I got in it in 5 mins. Takes 17 mins to try every combination. This might be helpful to some folks out there.

[@0x42red]

Absolutely, this video was meant to be an exploration of the weaknesses in this lock. Turns out the public at large have found use in it. Brute forcing is always an option, but that wouldn't make for a very interesting exploit here. Additionally any thin piece of metal or plastic would suffice here, for example cutting a thicker water bottle.

[@czerbren]

Thanx a lot!!! This was a huge help.

There is an easier way . I held the lock tsa slider and while holding it just spin each dial . You will know it’s the right number if the dial can’t spin anymore . Didn’t use any tools . Made me wonder if these are even necessary 😅

[@olalekanalliu5473]

Can you provide the link on Amazon to purchase the key please

[@0x42red]

In the United States you can search on Amazon for TSA 007 key and find many listings for about $8-10USD

[@coobrie1323]

I have an AWAY brand that I've forgotten my combo on. The company says I have to bring it to one of their stores to be re-set (That's not happening - I'm too far away). Any ideas or resources for an AWAY piece of luggage?

[@0x42red]

Does the lock look like the one in my video? Any thin piece of metal will help you feel for the gate. One person in the comments used the metal top from a tube of salt haha

can you help me i tried but still not opening

Good question I'll have to experiment but I am not certain if you can because the wheels need to be aligned with the mechanism that moves their position

It might be worth it to buy a TSA007 key if the tolerances are too tight

[@Rebecca-dt5bd]

I don’t have a key and my code isn’t working what can I do?

[@0x42red]

Well I would say it depends on your time constraints. But if you have time you can order a key. If you don't have time I would suggest maybe your code isn't what you think it is and could be worth decoding or brute forcing it

[@devitang7847]

​@@0x42red Where can order for the key?

[@thaniahey578]

Still not working for me 😢

[@jflava1985]

I don’t understand why you added 5

[@0x42red]

The gate on the dial needs to face the back of the lock for the locking bar to drop into it. You first find the gates in the front, then if you rotate all the dials back one at a time eventually they will be under the locking bar. The number of back rotations on this lock is 5
