FAQs
How do I set the combination lock on my suitcase?
The initial code is `0-0-0`. To change it, locate the small reset button (often a pinhole). With a pen, press and hold this button. Set your desired 3-digit combination. Release the reset button by pushing the main opening tab/button, and your new code is set. Always test it immediately.
What are the exact dimensions and weight of this suitcase?
The dimensions are 36 x 22 x 56 cm (Width x Depth x Height). It weighs 2.40kg and has a capacity of 40 liters.
Is this suitcase suitable for international carry-on?
Its dimensions (36 x 22 x 56 cm) are generally compliant with most major international airline carry-on requirements. However, airline policies vary, especially with budget airlines. We strongly recommend checking the specific carry-on size limits of your airline before travel.
How durable is the ABS construction?
ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is a lightweight yet very durable plastic known for its impact resistance. It provides excellent protection for your belongings against typical travel wear and tear, though like any hard shell, it can show scratches over time.
Can I fit a laptop inside this suitcase?
Yes, a laptop can typically be stored inside. However, there is no dedicated padded laptop compartment. We recommend using a separate padded sleeve for your laptop to ensure its protection within the main compartment.
How do I clean the interior lining?
The fully lined interior can be spot-cleaned with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap or detergent. Avoid saturating the fabric. After cleaning, allow the interior to air dry completely with the suitcase open before zipping it closed.
Are replacement wheels or handles available?
Info needed: Please consult the manufacturer's warranty or customer service for information on replacement parts. Availability can vary by region and product line.
Troubleshooting
The combination lock isn't working or won't open.
Ensure you are using the correct 3-digit combination. If you forgot the combination, you might need to try all 1000 combinations (000-999) or contact the manufacturer for specific reset instructions if there's a master key option (unlikely for basic integrated locks). For resetting, ensure the reset button is fully pressed before setting the new combination, and that the main lock release is pressed after setting to secure it.
Wheels are not rolling smoothly or are getting stuck.
The wheels may have collected dirt, hair, or debris. Turn the suitcase over and carefully clean around the wheel axles using a small brush, toothpick, or tweezers. Ensure no threads or fibers are wrapped around the wheels. Lubricating the axle with a silicone-based spray can also help, but avoid oil-based lubricants.
The telescopic handle feels wobbly or doesn't extend/retract easily.
Check for any visible obstructions or debris caught in the handle mechanism. Ensure all buttons for extension/retraction are fully depressed. Sometimes, uneven pulling can cause wobbling; try pulling it straight up and down. If it's still stiff, gently wipe the handle tubes with a dry cloth to remove dust and try operating it again.
Zipper snags or doesn't close smoothly.
If the zipper is stuck, gently pull the fabric away from the zipper teeth. Use a pencil to rub graphite on the teeth where it's sticking, or apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or wax. Ensure the zipper pull is aligned properly before attempting to close it again. Avoid forcing the zipper, as this can cause damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting the Combination Lock
Your suitcase comes with a preset combination of `0-0-0`. To set your personal combination:
- Locate the reset button (usually a small pinhole) next to the dials.
- With a pen or pointed object, press and hold the reset button until you hear a click.
- Rotate the dials to your desired 3-digit combination.
- Push the tab/button to the side (where you open the lock) firmly. You should hear another click as the reset button pops back out.
- Your new combination is now set. Test it by scrambling the numbers and then entering your new combination to open the lock.
Compatibility
This cabin suitcase is designed to meet the standard carry-on dimensions for most major airlines (Dimensions: 36 x 22 x 56 cm, Capacity: 40L). However, airline policies vary, especially regarding budget carriers. Always verify the latest carry-on size restrictions with your specific airline before your flight to avoid unexpected check-in fees.
Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning the Exterior: Wipe the hard shell exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the ABS material.
- Wheel Maintenance: Periodically check the wheels for debris like hair or lint. Clean them with a small brush or toothpick to ensure smooth operation.
- Interior Care: The fully lined interior can be spot-cleaned with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Allow it to air dry completely before closing.
- Storage: Store the suitcase in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Avoid placing heavy objects on top of it for extended periods to prevent deformation.
