What reviewers found
Synthesized across the trust-weighted source mix below.
Among reviewers we read, the Forge dimple-key 4-pack is the go-to recommendation for travelers who don't want to memorize a combination. Walmart verified-purchase reviewers highlight that a single key operates all four locks in the set, which several Amazon buyers call out as the main reason they chose it over a combination model. The zinc-alloy body and dimple-key cylinder are also referenced in r/onebag discussion as meaningfully harder to defeat by casual shimming than the cheapest combination dials.
What reviewers liked
- One key opens all four locks in the pack — repeatedly praised in walmart.com reviews
- Dimple-key cylinder is harder to shim than budget combination dials per r/onebag commentary
- Zinc-alloy body and 4-pack format make it a strong value at ~$21
- 4.7 Amazon average across roughly 9,600 reviews
Where it falls short
- Lose the key and you're hunting for bolt cutters — flagged in r/onebag's lock-vs-combination thread
- Still opens with the universal TSA master-key set, per r/lockpicking and r/Locksmith threads
- Body can reportedly be broken off with pliers like any TSA lock
- No search-alert indicator, unlike the SureLock or Forge Optimus options

The honest counterweight comes from the same r/onebag thread (high-trust in our signal set): a commenter notes the body can still be broken off with pliers and that soft-sided zippers can be popped with a ballpoint pen regardless of what lock is attached. r/lockpicking commenters add that all TSA-approved locks open with the standard master-key set, so the dimple key only protects against the dial-spinning opportunist, not anyone with a $35 key kit. Within those limits, the consensus is that this is a well-built representative of the format.
