suitcase keys

wayne1234

Hi
We have antler globetrotter suitcases which are at least 10 years old but are perfect condition as we have not been abroad for that long.Were off to cyprus end of next week and have just realised we have no keys for them.Does anyone know if we can get spare ones.I know it would be just as easy to go out and get new ones but before we do we thought someone might know.Cheers if you can help.

Might be worth trying a locksmith/keycutter. Most suitcase keys are from one of a very limited number of designs

Most suitcase lock are so bad that a paperclip can unlock them.

Besides, I never lock suitcases. If someone really want to get in then they will anyway and I never have anything that valuable in them (if someone wants my smelly socks then they are welcome to them). if you put a secure looking lock onto a suitcase then that is a clear indication that there is something in there worth stealing - and it will raise the suspicions of airport security who will just cut the lock off to get a look inside.

I never lock mine either, if customs wants to smell my Y fronts so be it, :rotfl::o

I just put a cable tie through my lock holes, I can then see if anyone has tampered with them.

No point in locking them.

Unless they replace the cable tie!

Hi There,we lost our keys the other month whilst we were waiting at the airport returning home and i was surprised to be advised by a fellow traveller most keys fit any case.Within a few minutes a few travellers passed their keys and YES most of the keys opened our case???

knotted string around a case beats locks every time.

If you are worried about the case coming open, buy a technicolour strap - that makes it easier to identify on the baggage carousel as well. There is not point in locking it - if you put anything of value in there, it deserves to get stolen !

could talk to a locksmith or a keycutter store.
