If you’re a visual learner, here are two short videos showing you how to open the lock(s) on your Monos suitcase.

Luggage with zippers

To open your Monos suitcase for the first time, ensure the combination dials are set to 0-0-0. Then find the slider with a small arrow on it and slide this towards the pointed direction. The zippers will pop off, allowing you to open the suitcase.

To set your own combination for the first time, follow these steps:

1. Turn the dials to the opening combination. Press down the reset button with a pen until you hear a click. The button will stay pressed in.
2. Set your own combination by turning the dials.
3. Push the slider button in the direction of the arrow until the reset button pops back up. Be sure to memorize your combination. To set a new one, repeat the steps above.

Hybrid luggage without zippers

To open your Monos Hybrid suitcase for the first time, ensure the combination dials are set to 0-0-0 on both locks. Then, simply press the release button on the bottom end of each lock. The clasps will pop open, allowing you to open the suitcase.

To set your own combinations for the first time, follow these steps:

1. Turn the dials to the opening combination.
2. From the back of each lock, you will find a switch marked with A and B. To reset the code, flip the switch from A to B.
3. Set your own combination by turning the dials.
4. Flip the switch back from B to A. Be sure to memorize your combination. To set a new one, repeat the steps above.

Please note that once you set your locks, no one else will know how to open your bag – including us. We recommend keeping the combination(s) somewhere safe so you don’t lock yourself out.
