FAQ

Locks & Spare Parts
CAN I ORDER SPARE PARTS FOR MY PRODUCT?

Visit our service website Support & Go to order spare parts for your Samsonite product. Please make sure you have the full product code, which you can find on the warranty card or on a label inside the product. Please note that for some (older) collections we may no longer have parts available.

THERE ARE NO PARTS AVAILABLE FOR MY PRODUCT, BUT IT IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, WHAT SHOULD I DO NOW?

No need to worry! If there are no more spare parts for your product, and you feel that the problem is caused by a design or manufacturing fault, the item needs to be inspected at our service centre. For details on our repair centre, click here.

WHERE IS THE KEY FOR MY TSA LOCK?

Your TSA lock does not come with a key. TSA agents at US Airports are the only people who have access to these keys. This allows them to open your item for inspection, without damaging the lock. You should use the 3-dial combination to open and close your item.

I FORGOT THE CODE ON MY LOCK, WHAT SHOULD I DO?

You will need assistance from an Authorized Samsonite Dealer to unlock your combination lock. For details on our repair centre, click here.

HOW DO I SET THE CODE ON MY LOCK?

Setting the code on your lock is very easy. The item is set to 0-0-0 at the factory, but you can choose your own 3 digits which you can easily recall (birthday, address, etc.). The lock may differ depending on the type of item you have, but usually the steps to set the code on your lock are very similar for every item.

  • Open your suitcase by sliding or pushing the TSA button. Enclosed in your item you will find locking instructions. Alternatively please check the video below or visit  for PDF’s and videos that are specifically for your product.
  • If there is a small pinpoint button on the lock, push it in with a pen. If there is no such button, push and hold the button to open your suitcase towards the dials.
  • Rotate the dials to your preferred code.
  • If your suitcase has the pinpoint button, you can confirm your code by pushing or sliding the button to open your suitcase. If there was no pinpoint button, release the button that you were holding.
  • Your combination is now set!
WHERE CAN I FIND MY PRODUCT CODE?

Your bag’s product label is made up of numbers and letters and can be found on your warranty card or on a label on the inside of your product. Depending on the type of product you have, the label is located either under the fabric of the suitcase, inside the pockets or inside the lining.

HOW DO I USE MY VOUCHER?

A voucher code gives you a pre-specified discount when you buy products from our website.

Follow these steps to redeem your voucher:

  1. Pick a product from our website. Please be aware that not all products will be eligible for discounts.
  2. Go to your shopping cart by clicking CART at the top right of the screen.
  3. Below the shipping method fields you will find the text “Enter promo code”. Click on this.
  4. A small box will appear where you can fill in your code. After adding your code, click “Apply”. Your discount will have been applied.

Discount vouchers: things to keep in mind:

  • They are only valid for a limited time period. Orders must be placed before 23:59 on the closing date.
  • They cannot be applied after you have placed an order.
  • In most cases, they cannot be combined with other promotions, offers or discounts.
  • No cash alternative is available.

For more information please contact us

WHY DOESN'T MY VOUCHER APPLY THE CORRECT DISCOUNT TO MY ORDER?

Discount vouchers normally offer a fixed reduction in price (i.e. a percentage or monetary amount off). Please check that your code has not expired and that you have entered it correctly.

If you are sure your voucher is valid for your order and the discount is still incorrect, please contact us mentioning clearly the voucher code you are using.

WHAT SHOULD I DO IF MY DISCOUNT VOUCHER ISN'T WORKING?

Some discount vouchers can only be used on a specific selection of our products.

You will not be able to use the voucher if you see a message stating that the discount voucher has either expired or is not recognised.

If the code is not recognised, please follow these steps:

Make sure that you are using the voucher correctly by checking that the voucher applies to all the items in your cart – not all items are eligible for discounts. Check that you are using an online gift certificate. If you are trying to enter a retail gift certificate (to be used in stores) this cannot be used on online orders.

If none of these issues apply, check that you have entered the voucher code exactly as it appears. It is easy to make mistakes if you enter the code manually, therefore we advise to copy and paste wherever possible.

Some common mistakes include:

  • Not checking spacing, character errors and/or spelling mistakes.
  • Not checking uppercase or lowercase. The certificate code field is case sensitive. Check that your ‘Caps Lock’ button is not on and only use uppercase or lowercase where stated.
  • Mixing up numbers 0/1 and letters O/I.

If you are sure your discount voucher is valid for your order but still does not appear to work, please contact us clearly mentioning your code.

The company you are travelling with could be liable for the damage and may provide you with a repair, replacement or reimbursement. Any such damages are not covered by Samsonite’s warranty, but we can provide you with the necessary documents or repair if needed. For details on our repair centre, click here.
