Simple solution.
To a complex problem. Try a Luggage Cable Lock and you'll never have to remember a combination or carry a key with you again. How's that? All of our bags come with a Dog Tag that's attached using a wire cable. Simply unscrew the wire cable at the knurled thumbscrew, slip the cable through the base holes on the closed zipper tabs on your bag, screw it back together and voila, a deceptively simple lock that looks permanent (see additional image at left). Any single zipper pockets can also be secured with the cable by pulling it through the nylon pull tab (loop) located on the bag at each end of the zipper and through the hole in the base of the zipper tab.
In fact, many of our customers use a wire cutter to remove the Tags, when all you have to do is unscrew it. Now understand, a determined thief can put their fingers a little way into your bag despite the Cable Lock, but the idea is to slow them or fluster them such that the Lock will deter them.
If checking your bag, the cables keep it from accidentally zipping open. And for a dollar, that's inexpensive piece of mind. The 1 mil diameter twisted stainless steel cable has a tensile strength of 36 lbs. Cable Lock is 6" long with knurled thumbscrew.

Said satisfied customer Charles, "This accessory came with my Skytrain a couple of years ago. I have bought "look alikes" but none has lasted as long as the original Redoxx did, still using it today!"

These little gadgets are great! Red Oxx is the first place I've seen them since I got a freebie from Virgin Airways years ago. TSA cut that one off my bag, so hopefully they won't cut these. Anyway, I got a half dozen just to be sure!!

I got one of these with the Air Boss, but lost it. I ordered a couple more with help from the great people at Red Oxx. Very handy for making sure zippers stay together, plus a million other uses.

I use them to loop through the zippers on my camera bag when traveling. It's perfect to stop pickpockets from trying to steal things out of your bags in crowded areas.
By M., Seattle, March 8, 2012
I ordered a few of these before a trip and my co-travelers liked them so much I gave them away and ended up ordering more. The new ones were a part substitution and for a change in life, this was for the better. The new locks are studier and appear to be better made and they do what I need them to.

I find these cables to be very handy "locks" for my luggage zippers. It is important to take the time to make sure they are screwed together tightly, and sometimes I start to screw them the wrong direction, but it doesn't take long to realize that and start screwing the other direction. I put the Dog Tag sold by Red Oxx on my cables for double use -- identification and protection. Thanks Red Oxx. For the price, these are a great added protection when traveling.

Very nice, seems durable. Exactly what I expected.

Neat locks, easy to use.
Perfection in a small package
By Matthew, Modesto, California, January 26, 2012
I bought a few of these cables figuring to use them for hanging ID tags on bags. And they work perfectly for that use - no more missing luggage tags.
I've found numerous other uses for the cables, including hanging tags in the field, keeping smaller wrenches and other tools toghether and in one location, a handy wrist strap for test equipment to keep my hands free when climbing ladders and one time to keep a muffler from falling off a pump when the mounting bracket failed.
For a buck each, I need to order some more and keep a small supply of them stashed in several locations so I can always grab one when needed.
Thank you Red Oxx.
What a clever little tool
By Carlton, Ft. Worth, August 16, 2011
This versitile little cable has become ever more useful than originally expected. I have it on my carry-on AirBoss to secure them. I have also began using them on my travel laptop backpack to prevent the oversize laptop from causing the zippers to unzip unexpetedly. They have many uses worth
By Sean, China, August 10, 2011
Great little product. Not sure if it made the difference, but traveling to more than 15 countries, nobody bothered with my bags at all, and no pockets got picked. Quality!
By Rick, OH and CO, August 4, 2011
Very handy for connecting two zipper pulls together on my bags. Keeps them from opening inadvertently.
By CETHEIVAGT, Illnois, July 24, 2011
I use 2 of these to connect the 2 top panel zippers to open at the same time. Works but not the best.
By ibbrunnie, Colorado Springs, May 26, 2011
Exactly what I wanted to attach a luggage dog tag to my bags. A little super glue to lock it, and it beats a metal chain.
I have ideas for even more uses but those can wait for a while.
people just love to complain
By Frank, Los Angeles, CA, April 22, 2011
Seriously people. Stop whining.
This product is $1.00. if it last over 6 months even if it last more than 1 trip over sea, it's amazing for me already. I don't understand the low stars because a one dollar product didn't last over a relatively decent period of time.
I bought 15 of these to lock my SkyTrain zippers and my wife's Rick Steves zippers while traveling abroad on trains and even just walking around town.
We tested one with Shun kitchen scissors, and it took 3 tries to cut it in half. Which is not thief proof, but it will significantly slow them down and brings them to our awareness.
3 over sea trips, so far so good.

I soon as I got these I started to use them, not only for my Red Oxx bag but also for my knapsack, to prevent quick fingers from opening the pockets as the pack rested on my back. Unfortunately, they became frayed very quickly and started to give me metal splinters. After 6 months, I have stopped using them.
Great concept, nice price, but not durable.
By sean, china, February 24, 2011
i like the look of these and they are just the right length. i was hoping the screw lock was secure but i have had them slowly unscrew themselves and watched them fall off. Unfortunately the simple loop cable (like the ones your luggage tags come with) may be more secure in actually staying closed for holding dog tags on etc.
By Glen, Louisville, February 17, 2011
This is a handy little product. It's easy to use, and quite sturdy. Unfortunately, there is at least one TSA agent out there who either couldn't figure it out and cut it off, or did figure it out and decided to keep it for himself. Good thing I bought some extras.
mostly hit, a little miss
By Phil, Duarte CA, December 16, 2010
I ordered several. One started fraying. The others seem to be doing OK so far on 3 work trips I've taken. I use them on an Air Boss in case I have to leave it (I haven't yet, perfect carry on). They don't actually lock, but they'll at least slow someone down that's trying to get into your luggage to the point that hopefully they'll leave your luggage along and move on to an easier target.
Cheap insurance against zipper failure
By Eric, Mechanicsburg PA, December 6, 2010
Not much to say about this product as there pretty straight forward.
I bought a few to use with the Air Boss as extra insurance to keep the zippers closed. They worked well on a recent trip.
The zippers on the Air Boss are pretty stiff so I'm not sure if you really need these or not but the extra protection they provide is worth the nominal cost of these.
Semper Fi
By John, Maryland, August 26, 2010
Exactly what you'd expect.
I bought them to affix a dog tag to my air boss, and they work fine.
I bought a few extra in case I ever need to check my bag to keep the zippers from separating.
I doubt that would be a problem after using the air boss, but they're cheap enough to make it worth picking up a few.
