For my three-week trip to UAE and India, I was effectively hotel hopping and railroading across India. Goods lock are a must as every hotel I stopped at in India had no issue watching my luggage while I toured about. I needed a travel lock with a longer shackle and had success with a previous Pacsafe product and decided to try this out. For typical suitcase zipper locking, this lock is on the big side and while not heavy, the extra shackle space may defeat the strength of the lock. I would recommend either
2 Pack【Open Alert】Indicator★Best TSA Approved Luggage Locks★4 Colors★3 Digit Combination★Theft Protection★Lifetime Warranty on our Durable Heavy Duty Travel Baggage Lock, Padlock and Suitcase Lock
or https://www.amazon.com/Master-Lock-4684T-TSA-Accepted-Assorted/dp/B000HX0K64/ref=sr_1_10?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1472111479&sr=1-10&keywords=master+luggage+lock. Also note that this lock is Travel Sentry, meaning airport security for countries in the system (mainly USA TSA) can open the lock with a special key and relock your bag without cutting the lock. Avoid using Travel Sentry locks for non-travel use when security is a priority.
For my application, I used this lock to lock the laptop and cargo compartments of my Eagle Creek Morpheus 22 inch 2-in-1 suitcase. The shackle was long enough to lock each pair of zippers to the fabric latch point. On quality suitcases, these fabric strips keep a thief from puncturing the bag zipper with a ballpoint pen, stealing your stuff, then moving the locked zippers over the punctured track to re-zip the bag and thus make you ignorant of the theft. All this being said, remember that luggage locks on soft walled suitcases are theft deterrents at best, nothing more. When used as I described, someone would have had to conspicuously wreck my suitcase to steal from it, and I could have noticed immediately.
The lock itself is well made: the shackle is sturdy and the plastic body feels good to the touch, like a quality product. To set the combo, one opens the shackle, pulls the bottom tumbler (where the TSA key goes) and turns 90 degrees. Twist the dials to your preferred combo and then reset the tumbler. To unlock the shackle, dial the combo and press the tumbler in (upward) and the shackle will spring out. To lock, press the shackle into the lock and listen and fee the "click." This is a positive locking mechanism, meaning the shackle with lock in place whether the proper combo is set or no, but naturally if you forget to scramble the dials after locking the shackle, any other idiot can simply press the tumbler to open the lock.
One caveat about this lock that another reviewer here spotted dead on: If you get the first two numbers correctly dialed in on this lock, you can feel out the third number by pressing on the tumbler. To be fair, most three dial locks are similarly flawed. As such, I would not recommend this lock for extended unsupervised use (24+ hours). But I would say the same for any 10 digit, 3 dial combo lock.
I was thoroughly satisfied with this lock's performance on my long trip and can readily recommend so long as you are aware of what luggage locks are for--DETERRENCE.

We’ve also felt the heartbreak of having our passports stolen, the discomfort of trying to sleep on top of our backpacks to keep them safe, and the anxiety of crossing a sketchy border with every dollar we own in our pockets.While some people think the threat of getting ripped off is all part of the adventure, we always knew there had to be a better way. That by taking some extra security with you, you would enjoy the ride even more. You might even push further out of your comfort zone to experience something new. Something life changing.
