Best for
Choose locks & security if your moment is travel and insurance campaigns, cycling, active and sports sponsorships or university orientation and gym onboarding.
Travel and insurance campaigns
TSA-approved 4-dial luggage locks with a laser-engraved logo on the body travel beautifully — the gift gets used on every trip and carries the brand through every airport. Pair with a branded luggage tag for the full travel moment.
Cycling, active and sports sponsorships
Retractable cable locks and compact combination locks with a doming finish on the casing — the kind of piece that lives on a bike rack through a whole summer of weekend rides. Choose vivid brand colours for on-street visibility.
University orientation and gym onboarding
3-dial combination padlocks in campus or brand colour stories — the piece that lives on a locker for three years of tertiary study. Laser-engraved student union or faculty marks read beautifully on anodised metal.
Conference and event delegate security
Small cable locks and bag zip locks for laptop bags and delegate backpacks — a considered inclusion in the conference kit that signals the host thought about the whole delegate experience, not just the agenda.
“Our luggage locks landed a week before the travel campaign shoot and the engraving was beautifully crisp — the whole kit photographed like a considered travel editorial rather than a giveaway. The team understood the brief immediately.”
“We reorder the combination padlocks every February for orientation week and the Sense2 team remembers our faculty colours and engraving position without us having to re-brief. Delivery always lands beautifully ahead of O-week.”
“Customers consistently rate Sense2 for bringing brand thinking and warmth to utility merchandise — locks, luggage, the quiet pieces that live with a person for years — with delivery that always lands on time.”

How to choose
Start with how the lock will be used — that shapes every decision after. A combination padlock for a gym locker lives indoors, gets handled daily, and wants a clean laser engrave on a 40mm anodised metal body. A TSA luggage lock for a travel campaign needs the TSA-approved mechanism (recognisable by the red diamond), a slim profile that fits modern soft-shell cases, and a dial face or body panel with enough real estate for a logo lock-up and a tagline. Branding method follows the body material. Laser engraving is the premium finish on metal — permanent, tone-on-tone, and beautifully understated on anodised aluminium in black, navy, rose gold or champagne. Pad print suits plastic-bodied cable locks and bag zip locks where a pop of brand colour works harder than a subtle engrave. Full-colour digital on dial faces is how you carry a full campaign palette on a luggage lock. Doming — a raised resin finish — lifts a logo on the flat face of a cycling lock cover and reads as considered rather than cheap. MOQs sit between 100 and 500 on most lines. Combination padlocks typically start at 100; TSA luggage locks and retractable cable locks usually want 250-500 for the better unit economics. Smart locks and premium leather-wrapped luggage locks sit higher, both in MOQ and price. Always order a sample — the weight, the click of the dial and the shackle action are what people notice in the hand, and the decision makes itself once it's on the desk.
Pricing guidance
Pricing rule of thumb: at 100 units with a 1-position laser engrave, a 3-dial combination padlock sits around AU$3.20-$6.50, a TSA 4-dial luggage lock AU$5.50-$10, a retractable cable lock AU$7-$14, and a compact bike U-lock AU$18-$35. At 500 units expect 25-35% off the 100-qty tier. Full-colour digital on dial faces adds AU$0.45-$1.10 per unit. Setup is AU$55-$95 per position, once-off, with a one-time engrave file fee around AU$45.

Frequently asked questions
What's the minimum order for branded locks and padlocks?▾
Standard combination padlocks start at 100 units. TSA luggage locks and retractable cable locks typically sit at 250-500 for the better unit economics. Premium smart locks and leather-wrapped luggage locks start higher. For briefs of 1,000+ expect 30-40% off the 100-qty tier — ask for a stepped quote across 100, 250, 500 and 1,000.
How long do custom locks take to produce and deliver in Australia?▾
Standard lead time is 10-15 business days from artwork approval. Stocked combination padlocks and luggage lock lines can ship in 3-5 business days express for late briefs. For Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane travel-campaign rushes we can sometimes courier same-week on stocked engraved lines — speak with our team.
Are your luggage locks TSA-approved?▾
Yes — our TSA luggage locks carry the red diamond mark recognised by US Transport Security Administration screeners and most international airport security. They allow inspection without the lock being cut, which matters for any travel-brand or insurance gift that needs to travel internationally with the recipient.
What branding methods work best on locks?▾
Laser engraving is the premium finish on anodised metal bodies — permanent, tone-on-tone and beautifully understated. Pad print suits plastic-bodied cable locks in vivid brand colour. Full-colour digital prints the whole palette on luggage-lock dial faces. Doming adds a raised resin finish to cycling lock covers. Setup is AU$55-$95 per position, once-off.
Can I see a sample of a branded lock before I order?▾
Yes. Free samples ship Australia-wide within 48 hours from our Sydney warehouse. Pre-production samples with your actual engraving or artwork are available on larger runs. The weight, dial click and shackle action are what people decide on — holding the real thing always beats the spec sheet.
Do you offer eco-friendly or sustainable lock options?▾
Yes — several of our combination padlock bodies are available in recycled aluminium, and our retractable cable lock range includes rPET casing options. Packaging is available in FSC kraft and recycled card with lower-ink print. See our eco-friendly promotional products guide for the full range and certification notes.
