How do I reset the TSA-unlocked indicator on my lock?
I have a Lewis N Clark combo lock that has the Travel Sentry feature that allows TSA to unlock it. The lock also has a feature that lets you know if TSA opened it - the TSA keyhole at the bottom will pop out if a TSA key is used to unlock it.
On a recent trip, TSA opened my luggage (apparently having a huge stack of tourist brochures will trigger an inspection), and the TSA keyhole on the lock was popped out:
I am not able to figure out how to reset the indicator. I have tried pushing it in with the lock in various states of locked/unlocked with correct/incorrect combos. Even with the lock in the combo-reset mode, I cannot push the indicator back in.
Does anyone know how I can reset the indicator?

On some of them, you unlock and turn the shackle 180° like you are going to reset it. But, instead of pushing the shackle in, you pull up and it will reset the indicator.

The "Reset" buttons is located next to the small TSA keyhole. Hold down the small metal bar inside the base of the lock if there is no reset button on your model. Spin the dials until your new combination is lined up with the markings and release the reset button or bar.How do I reset my TSA lock antler?
The combination on this type of lock can be changed by turning the shackle 90 degrees and pressing it down. If your lock is a TSA002 or TSA007, sometimes the code changing mechanism will get stuck and make it difficult to close. This usually means the lock is locked in the open position.How to set a 3-dial luggage lock
