When you are locked out of your Delsey bag because you can’t remember the combination, it can be very frustrating. If you have tried your usual passwords and failed, a systematic search is a guaranteed way to find the lost code. Since there are only 1,000 possible combinations for a 3-digit Delsey lock, finding your lost password is a predictable process.
The 000-999 sequence method is a reliable way to recover access. Start at 0-0-0 and attempt to slide the release button. Methodically move to 0-0-1, 0-0-2, and continue upward. While it sounds time-consuming, you can test all 1,000 combinations in about 15 to 20 minutes of steady testing. This is the safest way to ensure you hit the correct code without causing any damage to your Delsey suitcase.
After finding the correct numbers and opening the lock, you should change the combination to a more memorable number immediately. Use the reset button on the lock to save your new choice and ensure your luggage is ready for your next destination.

Can I unlock my suitcase if I forgot the combination?
Yes. Most luggage locks have a mechanical flaw that allows you to decode them using the “gap detection” method shown in our video. You don’t need to cut the zipper.
What if my lock does not have a reset button?
If there is no visible reset button, simply push the main latch towards the “open” position and hold it there while rotating the dials to set your new code.
Can I use a Master Key to open it?
Absolutely. If your lock has a red diamond logo, it is a TSA lock. You can buy a universal TSA Master Key online to open it instantly.
My lock is jammed, what should I do?
Try spraying a lubricant like WD-40 inside. If it’s still stuck, the internal spring might be broken, and you may need to replace the lock head.
What if I don’t have a reset button on my lock?
If there is no visible reset button, your lock likely uses the “hold-and-turn” method. Push the main release button towards the “open” position and hold it there while you rotate the dials to your new code.
Can I use a TSA Master Key to open my suitcase?
Yes! TSA Master Keys (like TSA007 or TSA002) are designed to open these locks without the combination. You can buy these keys online if you are completely locked out.
My lock is jammed and won’t open with the correct code.
This happens when the internal tumblers get stuck. Try spraying a little WD-40 or lubricant into the mechanism. If that doesn’t work, verify the code again using the “gap detection” method shown in our video.
Is it possible to pick a 3-digit luggage lock?
Yes, it is actually quite easy. Most 3-digit locks provide visual or tactile feedback (small gaps) that reveal the correct combination. Our guide above shows you exactly how to find them.
