Forge: America’s Top TSA Lock Brand, Built for Travelers by Travelers.

Established in scenic Wyoming in 2015, Forge Luggage Locks quickly earned a reputation for its top-notch TSA locks.

Leveraging their family's expertise in the tsa lock industry, Forge not only overcame obstacles but soared to become the TOP brand in the US market.

Easy Read Dials

  • Chrome Dials Cause Glare. Many TSA locks use chrome dials that reflect bright fluorescent light, making them hard to read in baggage terminals.

Stainless Steel Tumbler

  • Dancing in the Rain. The low-grade steel and iron used in most travel locks will rust and freeze up if exposed to water. Our stainless-steel tumbler can be submerged in water with no negative effects.
  • No Brass, No Oxidation. Other travel locks use brass in the tumbler system. Brass will oxidize and freeze up over time, especially in humid environments.

Forge Optimus 23072 FAQs

Does the Forge Optimus 23072 come with an owner key?

No. Owners unlock the Optimus 23072 with their 4-digit combination. The TSA008 keyway is intended for authorized security screening access and is not an owner keyway.

What does the Open Alert indicator mean?

The Open Alert indicator provides a visible signal after the lock has been opened through the TSA inspection keyway. Entering the correct combination and opening the lock resets the indicator for future use.

How do I set or reset the Forge Optimus 23072 combination?

The Optimus 23072 uses a back-switch reset system. Open the lock with the current 4-digit combination, move the reset switch on the back into the setting position, choose your new code, then return the switch to its original position. For detailed instructions, see our How to Set Forge TSA Lock guide.

What happens if I forget my Optimus 23072 combination?

The Optimus 23072 does not have an owner master-reset function. If the lock is closed and the combination is forgotten, the code cannot simply be reset without first opening the lock with the correct combination. The TSA008 inspection keyway is not a backup owner keyway, so test and record your new code before locking it onto your luggage.

Will the Optimus cable fit my suitcase, backpack, or case?

The standard Optimus 23072 uses a 0.15 in braided-steel cable approximately 4.17 in long. It is designed to pass through many suitcase zipper pulls, backpacks, cases, and compatible locker openings. Check the opening size and available clearance before purchasing.

How does the TSA relock feature work on the Optimus 23072?

The Optimus 23072 is designed so an authorized TSA inspection key must return the lock to the secured position before the inspection key can be removed. This helps reduce the chance of the lock being left unlocked after baggage screening.

Excellent TSA lock!

Much better than a two pack I received a few days ago from a different brand. Easy to set up. Super clear instructions. Fits my suitcase very well! Would highly recommend for security while traveling.

Fantastic Lock - 4 number combo - strong

Lock works very well on my old luggage set. See the blue lock. Love that it has 4 numbers combo. See my old brass locks which i've had for 30 yrs (non tsa approved). Now they won't cut my lock at tsa. Great product. Cable well attached. Easy to setup combination.

SOLID AND SECURE

Always a pleasure to leave a five star review, and these locks are no exception.They are solidly built and have the genuine look and feel of security. The materials used are heavy gauge, and they just have the look and feel that give me comfort in knowing my possessions are secured. And the long cable shackle is perfect for cases that have a wide flange which would prohibit use by the typical travel lock.Easy to set up with your own personal combination, and easy to change should you ever desire to do so.Perfect for my intended use, and speedy delivery. On top of all that, I consider these locks to be quite a value when compared to other available locks.Glad I got ��em, and no hesitation in recommending them.

Reliable Travel Security with a Helpful Alert Feature

I recently purchased this two set of Forge TSA008 locks for a multi-leg international trip, and they provided much-needed peace of mind while navigating busy airports. I used these specifically for my checked luggage and a carry-on backpack. The 100% zinc alloy body feels significantly sturdier than the cheap plastic locks I've used in the past, and they survived several rough baggage handling transfers without a scratch. The standout feature for me is the Open Alert Indicator. After landing, a quick glance at the lock lets you know if a TSA agent used their master key to open your bag; a red button pops up if it's been accessed. This allowed me to immediately check my belongings before even leaving the baggage claim area. Setting the 4-digit combination was straightforward, and the dials have a satisfying "click" that makes them easy to align, even in dim lighting.Pros:? Durability: The zinc alloy construction is tough and doesn't feel brittle.? Inspection Alert: The red indicator is a simple but effective way to track security checks.? Easy to Read: The white numbers on black dials are high-contrast and easy to see.Cons:? Shackle Thickness: While sturdy, the shackle is a bit thick; it fit my standard zippers perfectly but might be tight on very small, non-standard backpack eyelets.? Deterrent Only: Like all TSA locks, it's a deterrent rather than a safe. It won't stop a determined thief with heavy tools, but it effectively prevents opportunistic pilfering. Overall, these are excellent for anyone who travels frequently and wants a durable lock that offers more feedback than a standard padlock.

Forge TSA Luggage Lock

I like this TSA approved lock for your luggage. It works well by locking the zipper through the big holes, but the cable will fit through the small holes that interlock the zippers, but it's a little harder to get off. I would recommend this lock.

Great For Gun Case

The media could not be loaded.









I��m overall satisfied with these locks. I was a bit hesitant at first being that I��ve never heard of this brand, but after seeing so many positive reviews I decided to try them out, and I��m glad I did. I got them specifically for my gun case and they are perfect for it. It��s very easy to set up your own combination, you just have to make sure you write it down somewhere in case you forget. I have it locked on my iPhone notes. These will be my go to for the next handgun case I get.

Nice secure combination lock

It was very easy to change the combination to my desired numbers. The shackle is about 2" long and flexible. I wanted a lock to secure both zipper pulls together on my golf shipping bag. This worked perfectly. I don't think a solid shackle would have worked as well. It is TSA accessable if need be on checked luggage, so they can open the lock and resecure it without damage to the lock. Very happy with the product and the price.

So easy to use!

I'm buying more! I used them on a money bag that had a faulty lock on it, so easy to use and good quality.

Sturdy & Reliable

Perfect lock for my Airbnb storage closet! The 4-digit combination is easy to set. It feels really sturdy and secure, and the open alert indicator is a nice touch. Numbers are easy to read and turn! Compact, reliable, and works exactly as intended �� highly recommend for luggage, travel, or securing small storage spaces.

Lock for securing your gun bags

I love that they come in the color black to match my black bag. They're very easy to open and they are very functionable. It's also very easy to change the combination when you need to. You could use these locks in any other place that you need to as well. But this is where I choose to use them. The numbers are big enough. I don't have to put my glasses on to see them to open them up.

Secure and rugged TSA complaint locks for your travel

Used these TSA 4 digit combo locks for our 2 week backpacking trip thru Japan. This held up pretty well to our fairly abusive use. Highly recommend it.Also the longer cable allows you to push it thru difficult zipper holes or tie down spots.

Durable luggage lock.

Very sturdy, easy to operate luggage locks. There is no key, only a re-set able 4 digit combination lock. The covered braided wire at the top loops thru your luggage zipper tabs. It is TSA approved, so if they need in the bag, they can use their universal key to unlock it. There is supposed to be an indicator to let you know they have opened your bag, but I am unable to verify that. They are a bit heavy. It will add to the weight of your bag.

Solid TSA lock that is easy to setup

I have used a lot of TSA locks , some opened with keys , others with number lock, others built into the luggage. This is the first one that I have seen that has 4 numbers instead of the usual 3 numbers . This makes it more difficult to open as there is 10,000 combination codes as compared to a thousand for the 3 number locks. It also uses the latest TSA008 key which is a unique round one that cannot be duplicated. I admit I own the TSA 002 and TSA 007 keys which I purchased when I forgot my combination number on one of my luggage. One other thing that separates this from the other TSA Locks is the built in red indicator that pops up when a TSA agent opens the lock with a TSA 008 key. This tells you that your luggage has been inspected. Overall, highly recommended not only for the new features but it is also solidly built and easy to set up.

Trustworthy, solid, and easy-to-use luggage locks

The Forge TSA Approved Luggage Lock is well-built and trustworthy. Instructions for setting your own combination are simple, but a very short video is also available if you need it. I particularly like how the cable is plastic-covered to protect whatever you put it on and the combination numbers can be moved backward or forward. This lock also features a red button that pops up to indicate when TSA has inspected your luggage. The feel of this lock and the easy-to-use design tell me this is a great value product.

Nice features in a TSA luggage lock

These locks are quite heavy - I usually hate to put luggage through check, but when you do and you have a zipper suitcase, having a TSA lock is a good thing to have.Does it really deter thieves? I am not sure. I have put on luggage straps and they were stolen when they came through the check baggage. Will luggage handlers steal things? Maybe. I never check anything of worth.That being said, these little locks have quite heavy bodies and the spinning numbers worked easily for me. The coated wires are thin enough to fit through zipper pulls.There are some pretty cool features in this lock including the open - alert - letting you know if the TSA opened the bag, as well as forcing them to relock it in order to get their key out. Those extra features make this a good option if you are looking for a TSA zipper pulls lock.
