I posted on this a couple of days ago but can't seem to find a copy in the archives. I think that may be because the thread started out on one of the topics that is no longer encouraged. I have two of the type of locks in question and can assure you that they are very easy to set and reset. The instructions come on a small piece of paper that is easy to carry around in your wallet or purse and has no tricky bits whatever. The basic thing is the lock comes with a green dot displayed and that remains visible as long as you use the lock with the combination that was set by you. If anybody else opens the lock, including customs officials who may possess a special key (this is for the USA), the green dot is replaced by a red one indicating to you that the lock has been opened. If this happens I would very quickly point it out to whatever official I happened to be talking too at the time. Resetting is very easy as well, just follow the instructions and continue using, either with the same combination or with a new one which youagain set. The only down side is that they are a bit expensive, almost AUD $22.
Any queries please ask.
Cheers
