SKB Case Accessories

Foam gives the tightest fit for the least money, with every item in a cutout shaped for it, but the layout is permanent once plucked. A Think Tank divider set costs more, cushions an item on every face, and lets you rebuild compartments whenever the kit changes. The deciding question is how settled your equipment list is. A fixed kit is well served by foam for years; a kit that changes every few months usually costs more in replacement foam than a divider set would have cost once.

Almost always the valve. A sealed case closed at ground level and flown in an unpressurized hold ends up with lower pressure inside than out, and the difference holds the lid down hard enough that the latches feel jammed. The breather valve exists to equalize that automatically, so a case that keeps doing this has a valve blocked by grit, paint, or age. Replacing it is a thread-in job rather than a repair. If the case has a manual valve instead, it needs opening by hand before the latches.

A clip kit puts threaded anchor points into the case wall so you can bolt equipment or a mounting plate down inside. A ring kit frames an opening cut through the wall, with gasket material around it, so connectors or a faceplate can come through to the outside and be reached without opening the case. Clip kits answer "hold it still"; ring kits answer "reach it from outside". Both involve drilling the case, both ship with a drill bit, and neither is reversible, so confirm the layout first.

They are travel hardware rather than high security. TSA-recognized latches and padlocks open to screener master keys, which is the point: a checked case gets inspected and relocked instead of cut open. They deter casual tampering and keep a lid closed through rough handling, but they are not protection against a determined attempt on high-value contents. Tell us what is in the case and how it travels if that is the requirement.

Not to every case. Caster kits bolt through the shell and rely on the base having the strength and the flat area to take the plates, so they are specified per model rather than sold as a universal fit. Send us your case number and we will confirm whether a kit exists for it, and what the loaded case will weigh once the casters are on.

Yes. Send your case model number, the dimensions and weights of what you need to pack, and how the case will be handled. We can recommend an interior, work through a panel or clip mounting build before anything is drilled, flag anything that will not clear on depth, and price it across a fleet. If no stock interior suits the equipment, we can quote custom foam cut to your own layout.
