Hooray for The System! in Help / Advice Forum I am flying tomorrow with two Samsonite 29" Oysters and the lock on one of them is stuck. I don't know what to do. It's not a combination issue, it was working 2 weeks ago when I used them, but something felt wrong with the lock today when I closed the luggage and then I try to open it back and it won't Help please this is urgent as I will fly with it tomorrow and need the stuff in it on Monday morning. Anyone good with these things? I don't want to break the whole luggage ... grrr so annoyed The lock in question is the one on top in the middle by the handle.

Anyone know of a solution?

Between going to the hassle of getting this thing to a locksmith and paying them for their services, i don't think its worth the cost of the suitcase. cabin max backpack 55x40x20Not to mention, i would expect the locksmith to most likely have to break the lock open anyways. Besides, even if you are somehow able to get it open without completely destroying the lock, do you really want to trust it again after this? You can probably just jimmy the latch open with a cheap pocketknife that has a very thin blade. If you can't pop it open with very little force, don't use a knife. Use either a screwdriver (WITHOUT YOUR OTHER HAND ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE LOCK) or the hammer + chisel method. If the latches still hold it shut even without the lock, it's still a working piece of luggage. I assure you, the lock on it isn't going to deter anyone, ever. You're at no greater risk without it. This is important to note.

The locks on luggage are essentially honest person locks. Anyone that wants in there can and will. okay, that did make me lol a tiny bit. Seriously though, the lock is worthless. You risk nothing by destroying it. Sign In or Register to comment.

Doesn't your poor suitcase deserve a little pampering? Here is how to clean it. Determine whether the suitcase is worth cleaning. If the suitcase isn't very dirty, don't bother cleaning it, or simply empty it and vacuum it off. After all, the purpose of the outside of a suitcase is to protect what's inside. Depending on the material, cleaning your suitcase could damage it.

A little dust or dirt just adds character. If it was a terrible suitcase from the beginning and is now tattered and torn, or the latch or zipper is hopelessly stuck, it may simply be time for a replacement. On the other hand, if the damage is bad enough, you have nothing to lose by trying to clean it.Take out all the odd socks, old travel itineraries, leftover tissues. Also remove any prior luggage tags. You wouldn't want your suitcase traveling to wherever you went last month, anyway. Test anything wet on a small area. Take a damp cloth and, if you like, a bit of soap or mild liquid cleaner, and try rubbing gently at a small, inconspicuous area on the outside of the suitcase. If the test is successful, wipe the rest of the bag, changing cleaning cloths as necessary. Follow up with a moist cloth to remove as much soap residue as possible. For a leather suitcase or bag only, wipe the outsides with saddle soap or oil soap formulated for leather. Use these products according to package instructions.

Avoid getting leather surfaces wet. For a hard-sided suitcase, try a mild spray cleaner. Simply spray it on and wipe it off with a cloth. Follow up with a moist cloth to remove residue from the cleaner. Try a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser or a mild abrasive such as Bon Ami or even toothpaste to remove bad scuffs on a hard-sided suitcase. Try a small area at first, to make sure you're not making matters worse. Follow up with a damp cloth to remove any residue. Remember that the objective is generally a surface cleaning, not a soaking. Hand wash in a mild detergent. If you have a fully soft-sided bag, such as a duffel bag, or you are confident that water won't damage any cardboard stiffeners, try submerging your bag in cold water with a bit of mild laundry soap (such as Woolite or any laundry bar soap) or even a bit of shampoo. Swish it around in a dishpan, sink, or (if necessary) bathtub full of this solution. Then, rinse and dry the bag thoroughly. Remember that soaking is more likely to damage the bag, leave it wrinkled, or damage or remove any built-in waterproofing than other methods, so try this step only if you think you need to.

Do not iron or tumble dry any bag that has a plastic or rubber liner. Instead, reshape it and let it air dry. Let the suitcase dry thoroughly before putting it away.If the inside of the suitcase is lined with plastic, wipe it down with a clean, damp cloth (not the one you used on the outsides) and, if necessary, a mild cleaner. For fabric, simply vacuum it or wipe it with a dry cloth. Spray with an odor-reducer, such as Febreze. Let it air out. Store your suitcase properly. Chances are it lives in a closet or attic or under the bed when not in use. Wherever you store it, cover it loosely to keep off the dust, and try to let it breathe. If you like, put in a dryer sheet or an unused bar of soap for a bit of fragrance. Alternatively, place some cedar balls or chips inside. Use a light fabric or mesh bag, or even a clean, old sock to contain the chips. Cedar has a mild, natural fragrance that tends to discourage insects. Look for it anywhere closet supplies are sold, or purchase a bag of cedar chips at a pet store (sold for lining animal cages).

If you would prefer your suitcase have no odor at all, try storing it with a charcoal pouch or simply a wad of black-and-white newspaper inside to help absorb moisture and odors. If you live in a very damp area, consider storing the suitcase with a desiccant pouch in it. Clean kitty litter is also good for absorbing odors and moisture. A few stains or scuff marks may discourage someone from taking your suitcase. Consider putting bright colored duct tape (not the gray) on your luggage. It makes it easier for you to find, and harder for someone else to sneak it out. Start with the mildest cleaning methods and work up from there, as necessary. Do all this cleaning someplace where a world's worth of dirt won't dirty anything else. A porch or garage would be a good choice, for instance. Choose a dark-colored suitcase. It will show less dirt. Black is extremely commonplace and may get confused at baggage claims. Instead, try dark green, blue, maroon, or the like. A bit of a pattern or design to the outside may also help to conceal dirt.

Try traveling with only one bag so the baggage handlers never touch your luggage. Use cleaners and techniques appropriate to the soil, too. Dust may just brush out. Greasy or oily soil will require something that can dissolve grease (such as soap or a grease-cutting spray cleaner), and so on. Use cleaners and techniques appropriate to the material(s) you are cleaning. Ask a dry cleaner. If you don't mind paying a few bucks, see if a dry cleaner in your neighborhood can suggest anything or clean the bag for you.Look around for products designed to clean upholstery if you have a soft-sided bag. Many of these are formulated to clean fabrics without submerging them or removing them from their settings. Again, test in a small area.When your bag is as clean as you can get it, and especially when it is new, use a spray-on waterproofer to coat the outside. Read the instructions to make sure that your spray is compatible with the bag material. If you expect to travel to very rainy places where your bag will get wet, carry a plastic trash bag to use as a makeshift cover or check out backpacking and outdoor sporting stores for more-permanent rain covers.
