I have the same problem. throw it away
All the TSA locks have a key that is used only by the TSA to open the lock.
you don't unless you are trying to do somthing illegal. You can, try to set the code to 000 and then stick a toothpick or something like that up the keyhole, and then the lock will open when you pull it. When you see a red cylinder around the metal part of the lock, you just need to change the code to 000. ;)
The specialty of using TSA locks is that a consumer can pick her or her combination for their lock, as opposed to having the manufacturer set the lock combination.

Forget the clamp and TSA key. Look at the bottom where there is a small silver button. With a pen or small item, press this in with the correct code entered. (default for mine was 000). With the button pressed move the code to what you would like it to be set to like 123 and release the button. Now try the clamp with 123 and it should work. Save
Heys combination lock embedded in side of suitcase, with a slide bar mechanism: Set lock to correct combination and slide open. You will see a small indentation on the side of the lock (opposite side from combination numbers). Insert the tip of a ballpoint pen in the indentation. While pressing down with the ink pen, change the combination to the new numbers.
A TSA 003 is a combination lock. To reset it, the shackle must be spun for 180 degrees after the current code has been entered. It is now in the reset position.

Yes, it has a three number TSA approved combination lock.
Set the combination to the correct setting, then press the button that may be placed on the bottom of the lock, or somewhere else, and while holding that down, change the code to what you desire it to be.
yes, but if you lock anything up on the plane, you will probably get arrested. Also if you lock your bags with a padlock, TSA will most likely hack it off.
