ABSTRACT:
A complex suitcase lock includes a combination lock and a pin tumbler lock installed in a suitcase to work with two retaining units and two linking units so that the user can selectively use the combination lock or the pin tumbler lock to open the suitcase. When the pin tumbler lock is unlocked, a moveable plate is moved to a first position and disengaged from the linking units for allowing the user to push the retaining units and to further open the suitcase. When the pin tumbler lock is locked, the moveable plate is moved to a second position to hold the retaining units in engagement with hooks of the suitcase, keeping the suitcase locked.
