Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this lock on a hard-sided firearm case when flying?
Yes. The TSA requires that checked firearms be transported in a locked, hard-sided container, and this Bulldog lock is Travel Sentry® approved, meaning TSA agents have the tools to inspect your case if needed without damaging your lock. It's an excellent choice for securing standard hard-sided pistol and long gun cases during air travel.
Is this a keyed lock or a combination lock?
This is a combination lock, so there are no keys to lose or forget. You set your own personal combination and simply dial it in to open. This makes it especially convenient for frequent travelers who don't want to manage separate keys for their luggage and firearm cases.
Why does this product say "Non-CA" — what does that mean?
The "Non-CA" designation indicates that this specific version of the Bulldog TSA Lock is not certified under California's gun lock safety standards. California requires firearm locking devices to meet specific state-approved testing criteria. If you are purchasing a lock intended for use as a California-compliant gun lock, please verify the product meets CA DOJ requirements before purchasing. For travel security purposes only, consult local regulations.
