Great for more private safe keeping!

Great zippers for high quality tactical bags. They may not withstand forced entry with standard cutting tools, but will withstand scissors. The purpose of these locks is to prevent strangers from entering certain pockets in your bag. They offer more privacy. They are elegant and go well with tactical bags. I give them 4 stars!

  • New

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • Minor issues

Anyway, the gray AGR fabric they use has a leafy green hue in certain lighting, but that's not the case with the zippers or this lock. I was actually hoping it…

Alternative uses and additional sizes

I didn't buy this lock for luggage but for a hard walled box used to transport an expensive and heavy lens. I wasn't worried about a lock to deter theft as I figured someone would just take the tool box (but I guess that goes for luggage too) although it might be of value if left in the motel room, to prevent honest people from looking inward. out of curiosity and then succumbed to temptation. Because the toolbox latch opens too easily, I needed a backup or failsafe to protect the lens if the…
