New Locking Latches for Pelican Cases
Some of you who travel frequently or who transport and organize a lot of gear may have seen some new items supplier listings when you browse the Pelican Case pages. In addition to the now-established Pelican Air case models like 1535 and 1615, you may have seen related listings with the TRVL suffix after the model number. What's up with that?
It turns out, Pelican is now offering some of their Air series cases with lockable latches. These latches operate with both a user key (the P001 luggage key, which is not all that secure or unique, mind you) and also the TSA007 key. If you're a frequent traveler and don't want to stick a gun in your luggage all the time in order to use high security locks... maybe you're interested in Pelican cases whose latches can lock?
The thing is... Pelican is selling these new TRVL series cases at what appears to be an exorbitant mark-up. Fortunately, it is possible to purchase these new latches by themselves from 3rd parties. This is a video where I showcase the various ways to lock one's luggage and then I swap out a latch on one of my Pelican cases, installing these new TSA compatible locks.
These latches are on Amazon here... www.amazon.com... ...they appeared to sell out rapidly upon the upload of this video, but they are back in stock at this time. That's not an affiliate link, I just enjoy sharing good details with you all. =)

Hey, cool update news!... @SkylarxLily hit me on twitter and informed me: "Did some sleuthing and found those TSA latches in your vid. If you email colorcase, which does a ton of Pelican sales, they gave me a private link for the same 40$ price that has been out of stock on amazon now forever. Hopefully they keep doing it."

@Sarge92 Год назад

question regarding the bigger lock how much room do you get when trying to open that case with the lock still on the case? it looks like you get about a inch of wiggle there could that not potentially let someone take smaller items out the case without you knowing or tampering with the locks a quick and dirty fix would be to have a cloth bag inside that everything goes in and just put the opening towards the hinges so prying fingers cant get at any smaller items to pull them through

@yakmedic8511 4 года назад

If you use a TSA lock you can add a serialized (numbered) tamper tag to one of the case locking points. This gives you a quick visual indicator to let you someone has opened you bag. They aren't too expensive ~$10-15 for 100 of them. As an alternative I have used several small zip ties with different colors (2 red, 1 green, 1 yellow, for example), super cheap and with a wide range of colors

@keithtwombley 4 года назад

a couple more tips for removing pins I learned from modding toys: When the pin starts moving, check the end that pops out with an eagle eye. If you don't see the hash marks, you're at the wrong end. BTW, If you decide to YOLO the pin all the way through the wrong way, those hashes will gouge the plastic all the way through, making it so the pin will never stay in again.

TSA have keys for it. Also hopefully they would be mindfull enough to remount the latches after inspection. (they probably wouldn't )

@jrichardson-m9m 4 года назад

@@frederik7338 there have been cases where they have unlocked a tsa lock and just threw it into the luggage in the unlocked state making the lock useless. i wouldn't bee surprised if they used the bolt cutters to just cut the latch off.

4 года назад

I think (welcome to be corrected) that pelican latches have to be open to be removed, meaning you'd still need to unlock the latch to remove it. If some asshat TSA dude knocked the pins out of a latch and then gave up when they realized they still needed the keys I think that would be worth the investment in my mind. Wasting the time of people whose only purpose in life is to waste your's.

@inpalpatine2067 4 года назад

@ @9:37 he latches the case then bangs out the pin.

4 года назад

@@inpalpatine2067 Yeah but then after the pins have been removed you have to pull the latch off. I failed to say that on the latches with a push button (like the TSA replacement latches) I believe you need to actually push the button to disengage the latch. Therefore if the latch is locked it should not disengage after the pin has been removed.

@ChuckvdL 4 года назад

I traveled for years with a small scissors at the bottom of a dopp kit bag (forgot it was in there), never ever got flagged for it. Based on that and other info, I estimate the TSA's ability to find actual forbidden stuff at about 5%. But that's if they were real bullets. Since these are not real, and would be a false positive, which would foul up your day, Murphy's law says they are about 95% likely to find them and to go apeshit over it.

@matthewshannon6946 4 года назад

@@ChuckvdL I traveled all over the country for work. I got held up at a gate in Orlando for about 10 min. Finally, a TSA gentleman approached me and asked me if I had a "queek loader". I was baffled. I finally figured out that he thought the carrier for my Surefire batteries was a speed-loader for a pistol. Mind you, they worked completely from images and never pulled the item out for examination. Crazy. I & batteries went on but what a strange experience. Hope they're better familiarized with other contraband they're looking for as to fit a pistol, this array would have had to fit a .75 to 1.0 caliber pistol (which I'm pretty sure doesn't exist).😜

I have a classmate that went to Europe with a few 5.56 rounds in his backpack by mistake. Somehow he made it out of the US, into and around Europe including multiple flights, and was stopped in Germany on his way back to the US. Of course they took them from him, but it blew my mind he made it that far. This was about three and a half years ago.

@matthewmiller6068 4 года назад

Very excited to see a way to add TSA lock latches...I've got a few year old 1615 case (before the "air" branding) and I have basically given up on any way to lock it. The locks end up either broken off or damaged such that I can't actually remove them without tools at the other end. Even when I don't care about "stuff stolen" I worry about the latches catching and popping open in transit letting stuff fall out. Parts ordered, I look forward to a conversion! ...and I don't even fly that much, all my headaches are only within half a dozen or so legs of flights. After losing probably $100 or more in various locks until now I've decided the best hope is $0.97 keychain clips...at least they provide a small additional "oops bumped the latch" protection and they also are cheap to replace when they go missing.

@fpscrash1992 4 года назад

@CheapCreep 3 месяца назад

Awesome video. I recently ordered the 1615 Air Case (without locked hatches) because it was almost $200 cheaper than the 1615 Travel. These new locks go for ~$50. So assuming I can actually get these installed, that's a savings of $150. FYSA: Pelican offers military & veterans discount, so that's another $52.04 saved.

I brought over 8kg of locks from Australia to the States in 2017 and locked them in a plastic storage box with a 40mm Abus dimple padlock. They cut the shackle to see the strange blob of locks on their xray. Luckily they kept all the precious $800 Lockwoods in place and put the cut padlock in the case with a tsa card saying they inspected the case. We don't have guns here but store classified files and electronics, luckily no PL330's have been cut yet. 🤞 Thanks for the info and I'll look up those replacement latches/tsa locks.👍🏻🤓🍺

My phone number is written across the case in 2" tall letters, but you never know with those knuckleheads. Do you have any tricks for locking your luggage when you're traveling to/through a prohibited place like Chicago or Mexico? I was thinking about packing a 5.56 stripper clip because the federal guidelines say that "ammunition clips" need to be locked up like firearms, but its not serialized and won't even be recognized by most anyone. Thoughts?
