Unlocking Go Travel Lock Customization: A Step-By-Step Guide To Changing Your Lock's Code

If you need to change the code on your Go Travel lock, the first thing to do is make sure your lock is unlocked. Most of the time, your lock has to be on the correct combination before you can change the code. If your lock is new, the combination is likely to be 000. Once you've unlocked the lock, you can start the process of resetting the code. This usually involves finding a reset button, which is often located on the bottom or side of the lock. You may need a paperclip, pen, or pencil to push the button and begin resetting. With the button pressed, you can then enter your new combination. Finally, release the button, and your lock should now be reset with a new code.

How to change the code on a Go Travel lock with a button reset

To change the code on a Go Travel lock with a button reset, follow these steps:

• Ensure that your lock is unlocked. Most of the time, your lock has to be on the correct combination before you can change the code. If your lock is new, the combination is likely "000".
• Find the reset button. Often, the lock will have a small reset button on its bottom or side. You may need a paperclip, pen, or pencil to push the button and initiate the resetting process.
• Press and hold the reset button while entering your new combination. Choose a code that you can easily remember.
• Release the button once you have entered the new code. Move the dial to randomize the numbers and then turn it back to your new combination to ensure that the lock works correctly.

It is important to note that the process of changing the code may vary slightly depending on the specific model of your Go Travel lock. If you are unable to locate the reset button or if the steps outlined above do not work, refer to the instruction manual that came with your lock or look up specific instructions for your lock model online.

Changing the code on a Go Travel lock with a lever

To change the code on a Go Travel lock with a lever, follow these steps:

Firstly, locate the lever. The lever may be found on the inside of the suitcase, or it could be situated on the outside near the combination wheels. You will need to know the current combination to open the lock and access the lever. Once you have located the lever, proceed to the next step.

Slide the lever into the resetting position. To change the combination, the lever will need to be moved to a specific position, usually the second position. This will enable you to set a new combination.

Now, change the combination to your desired code. Choose a code that you can remember easily and set each wheel to the corresponding number. Make sure you turn each wheel to the correct number in your new combination.

Finally, secure the lock by randomizing the numbers. Push the lever back to its original position. To ensure that you have set the new combination correctly, randomize the numbers and then enter your new combination to see if the lock opens. Once you have confirmed that the lock opens with the new combination, randomize the numbers again to lock your suitcase securely.

By following these steps, you will be able to change the code on your Go Travel lock with a lever easily and securely.

• Turn the shackle 180 degrees first, press down, and then move it back to 90 degrees.
• Input a new combination and try opening the lock with that code.

It is important to note that the exact steps may vary slightly depending on the specific model of the Go Travel lock. If you are unable to reset your lock using these steps, refer to the instruction manual or the Go Travel website for model-specific instructions.

How to open a Go Travel lock without the code

If you've forgotten the code to your Go Travel lock, there are several methods you can try to open it. Here are some detailed, step-by-step instructions on how to do so:

Method 1: Try the Factory Setting

Most luggage locks, including Go Travel locks, typically have a factory setting of 000. Try turning the dials to 000 and then press the button or pull on the shackle to see if it opens. If this doesn't work, try 999, as this is also a common factory setting for some locks.

Method 2: Try Every Possible Combination

If the factory settings don't work, the next step is to try out all possible combinations. Go Travel locks typically have three dials, which means there are 1000 different possible combinations. Start with 000 and work your way up to 999. Keep the open button pressed as you turn the dial. This method may take some time, but it is often the fastest way to open the lock.

Method 3: Dial and Listen

For this method, you need to be in a quiet place so you can hear the lock clearly. First, push the unlock button and hold it down, or apply constant pressure on the shackle if it's a padlock. Then, slowly turn one of the dials and listen for a click. This click indicates that you've reached the correct number. Repeat this process for all the dials. Once you've found all the correct numbers, the lock should open.

Method 4: Using a TSA Key Set

TSA-approved locks can be opened with a master key, which is typically only available to TSA security officers. However, it is possible to find people selling these master keys online or create a 3D-printed version if you have access to a 3D printer. Keep in mind that this method may take several days, as you'll need to wait for the keys to arrive.

Method 5: Picking the Lock

If you're feeling adventurous, you can try picking the lock. You can purchase a lock-picking kit online or use household items like sim card ejectors or hairpins. You'll need at least two items: one to push in the locking mechanism and another to turn the lock once the mechanism is under pressure. This method can be time-consuming and may not always work, but it's worth trying if you're unable to open the lock using the other methods.

How to reset a Go Travel lock with a TSA key

To reset a Go Travel lock with a TSA key, you will first need to unlock the lock. If you have forgotten the combination, you can try the factory setting, which is usually 000. If that doesn't work, you will need to try and figure out the combination.

One way to do this is to try every possible combination, starting from 000 and working up to 999. This method can take 10 to 30 minutes. If you can remember any of the digits, it will be faster.

Another method is to push the unlock button and hold it down while slowly turning one of the dials and listening for a click. Repeat this for all the dials. Once all the dials are correct, the lock should open.

Once you have unlocked the lock, you can reset it. Here are the generic instructions:

• Enter the current combination and open the lock.
• Turn the shackle to a 90-degree angle.
• Push the shackle down.
• Change the combination.
• Pull the shackle up and return it to the lock position.
• Enter the new combination to check that you changed it correctly.
• Write down your new combination!
