The Travelon Set of 2 TSA Accepted Cable Locks is the pick for anything a normal padlock will not fit. Travelon says the flexible cable can secure luggage that steel shackle locks cannot, naming Pelican cases, gun cases and equipment cases, and the set includes two Travel Sentry approved locks for $20, or $10 per lock. Each lock uses a set-your-own three digit combination with black number dials, an alloy metal body that measures 1.25 x 3.375 x 0.6 in, and weighs 0.11 lb according to the product page. Travelon says you can change the combination as many times as you want with a twist and push of the shackle, and its store lists 30-day returns. The cable is the trade-off: it is thinner than the shrouded steel shackle on the Master Lock 4689Q, and Travelon does not publish a warranty term for this lock. For standard suitcase zippers, a rigid or braided shackle lock costs about the same. We compared documented features and published prices and did not test the locks.
