Step-by-Step Guide to Open a Delsey Locked Suitcase Without the Combination

If your suitcase is locked and you can’t remember the code no matter how much you try, we will be your saviors today!

There are actually various ways to unlock Delsey luggage and set a new combination. We will walk you through the simple instructions of the top 3 methods that have proven useful.

1. Try Various Combinations One by One to Hear a Click

The first method is the simplest among the three. With the push of a button and hearing you will be able to figure out the original code on your luggage. Check out the steps while also watching the video to get the correct context.

Step 01: Push or Slide the lock Button

Varying on the type of TSA combination lock you have, either push the button or pull on it to get the inside machinery into the position to open the lock.

Step 02: Slide the Dial till You Hear a Clicking sound

This is the key step so we have broken it down further for better understanding:

1. Place your ear near the lock then slide the number dials one by one.
2. While sliding concentrate to hear a click.
3. On hearing a clicking sound, stop the dial at the number that made the noise.

It is recommended for this step:

• You take the help of another person for hearing the click while you slide the dials.
• Use a hushed room as the click sound can be very low.

Step 03: Slide the Second and third Dials similarly

If you have successfully heard a snap/click by spinning the first dial repeat the same method for the second one and move ahead to the third.

Step 04: Push the Button on the Lock This will Open It

Once all three combination numbers check out, you can get your lock opened by pushing the button fully or sliding it. Make sure to note and safely keep the original code so it does not slip your mind again.

2. Look for a Small Hole Under the Dials

This method is for combination locks with openings that are on top of the luggage case. If your carry-on luggage does not have locks on top you will not be able to see the hooks and holes on rotating dials hence won’t be able to use this method.

Here are the instructions to unlock the luggage lock that has an opening at the top.

Step 01: Make your Suitcase stand on a Flat Surface

Make your luggage case stand on wheels vertically. Do this in order to point a flashlight at the rotating dials to look for holes below one of the numbers.

Step 02: Slide the dials Until you see an Empty Hook under them

You can now start spinning the dial counterclockwise and search for a hole beneath the numbers. The hole will stand out to you as the dial has a ring around it except for just one spot.

Step 03: Rotate the dials two spots ahead Clockwise

When the holes or gaps are found you will turn the dial 2 spots clockwise and listen closely to hear a click. This will allow you to set the locking machinery in an open position.

Step 04: Push the Button to unLock

Now simply push the combination lock button (or, depending on the design, slide it) to open it.

3. Unlocking An Adjustable TSA Combination Lock

To unlock TSA (Transportation Security Administration) Delsey luggage you will need to perform the steps below.

Please note that the following method works best for combination locks:

• Are designed to spin from top to down.
• Have a metal or plastic button.
• Do not have hollowness around the dial.

Step 01: Point a flashlight on the TSA Combination Lock

Place the carry-on suitcase in a well-lit environment and point a flashlight to the locks so you can see all the crevices and details.

Step 02: Locate Metal Brackets on the sides of the dials

Metal brackets are on the sides of number dials and are used to rotate them. The brackets are smooth around all the numbers but one.

Step 03: Turn the dials Until You See an Indent

Here is what you need to do:

• Spin the dial till you find that particular spot that is hollow on the metal bracket.
• The hole will not reflect the light as compared to shiny metal. That’s your cue.
• Use a pointed object such as a safety pin to help find the groove on the metal bracket.

Step 04: Keep turning the Circle Until All of the Indents are visible

Your goal is to find all the indents and make sure they face toward you, and outside. Once you have found them will come to our next step.

Step 05: Slide the dials 5 spots Downwards

After finding the indents, you can start spinning the dials 5 spots downwards to unlock the mechanism from the inside. You will now press the button on the lock to release the lid.

FAQ

Conclusion

So far we have learned that the new luggage will always have 0-0-0 as the safety code even if the dials are turned on at different numbers. You can bring them to triple zero and by pressing the button suitcase’s lid will open. You can reset the code by pressing and holding the reset button and turning the number dials to the desired code.
