FAQs
What are the exact dimensions of The Carry-on?
The dimensions are designed to meet standard carry-on requirements, typically around 22 x 14 x 9 inches (55 x 35 x 23 cm). However, it is always recommended to verify with your specific airline as policies can vary.
Is the aluminum lock frame TSA-approved?
Yes, the aluminum lock frame is designed to be TSA-approved, allowing security personnel to inspect your luggage without damaging the lock.
How do I set the combination lock?
Detailed instructions for setting the combination lock are provided in the product manual. Generally, it involves opening the lock with the default code, finding a reset mechanism (often a small button or lever), setting your new code, and then closing the lock.
What is covered under the lifetime warranty?
The lifetime warranty typically covers manufacturing defects and defects in materials under normal use. It generally does not cover cosmetic damage, wear and tear, or damage caused by accidents, misuse, or improper handling by third parties like airlines.
Can the interior lining be removed for cleaning?
The interior lining is generally not designed to be removed. For cleaning, spot treatment with a damp cloth and mild detergent is recommended, followed by thorough air drying.
What is the best way to clean the silver polycarbonate shell?
Wipe the shell with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, a very mild soap can be used, but always rinse with a clean damp cloth and dry immediately with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Does this carry-on have spinner wheels?
This model typically features smooth-rolling wheels designed for easy maneuverability. Specific wheel type (e.g., spinner vs. inline skate) may vary; refer to the product details for exact specifications.
Troubleshooting
Combination lock is stiff or won't open
Ensure the numbers are aligned precisely. Try gently wiggling the dials. If still stuck, check the product manual for a reset procedure or contact customer support.
Scratches or scuffs on the polycarbonate surface
Minor scuffs can often be buffed out with a microfiber cloth. For deeper scratches, consider using a plastic polish designed for automotive use, following product instructions carefully.
Leather detailing shows signs of wear
Apply a leather conditioner regularly to keep the material supple and protected. For significant wear, consult a professional leather repair service.
Carry-on feels heavier than expected
Verify that no additional items have been packed. Check the weight against airline limits. Ensure wheels and handles are functioning correctly, as they can add to perceived weight when dragging.
