How to Reset the Combination on an American Tourister

Some American Tourister bags have combination locks.

American Tourister, a line of Samsonite luggage, features models that maintain security through a combination lock instead of a lock using a key. These suitcases generally come from the factory with a preset combination, but you can set your own combination or change the combination if you forget. Combination locks help protect your luggage better than a lock with a key, as traditional locks can be cut and you don't have to worry about losing a key with the combination models.

Instructions

1. Set the combination for the American Tourister luggage to all zeros. Look for a small reset button next to the combination dials. The button may or may not have a label specifying that it is the reset button.

2. Hold down the reset button and simultaneously turn the numbers on the combination lock to your new combination. Release the reset button. Test the new combination by mixing up the combination numbers and trying to unlock the luggage with the new combination.

3. Contact a Samsonite/American Tourister service center if you encounter difficulties with resetting the combination. Some locksmiths can also help.
