STEELCORE locking travel straps are formidable locking straps that afford serious theft protection for luggage, bags, laptops, and other gear. Used as a standard luggage strap around bags or luggage to hold them together (providing extra security for overstuffed bags), Steelcore replaces bungee cords, rope, or standard tie-downs when you need to tie gear down for travel or on taxi or rental car luggage racks, etc. Steelcore’s cut-resistant locking straps secure and lock luggage to any secured stationary object in hotel rooms or hotel lobbies or anywhere you want to leave your bags. By cinching down Steelcore around a nightstand, it locks the nightstand drawer so you can secure small valuables in the drawer (Ipods, watches, etc.), virtually creating your own mini safe. Use Steelcore straps around airline bags, but remember to leave the Steelcore unlocked to allow TSA inspectors to search your bags. Steelcore is not your standard travel lock that just locks your bags’ zippers. Steelcore locks up the entire bag. Locking the zippers affords only minimum security.
