Does away luggage have a lock?

To open the suitcase, roll the digits to your combination and push the circular button. (The keyhole is just for TSA use.) Make sure you set the combination for both locks to keep everything secure. Please note that once you set your lock, no one else will be able to get in your bag—and that includes us.



Yes, every suitcase in the Away luggage lineup comes equipped with a built-in, TSA-approved combination lock. These locks are integrated directly into the shell of the suitcase, featuring two slots where the zipper pulls click into place. This design provides a high level of security against casual theft while allowing TSA agents to open and inspect the bag using a universal master key, preventing damage to the suitcase during security screenings. In 2026, these locks are considered a standard feature for premium luggage, offering travelers peace of mind when checking bags or leaving them in hotel storage. To set the lock, users simply hold a "reset" button with a pen, dial in their desired three-digit code, and release—a process that takes less than a minute. This integrated system eliminates the need for separate padlocks or keys that can easily be lost or misplaced during a busy journey.
