self-locking padlocks Explanation: Looks like "контрольные" are those padlocks lockable without a key. See here (http://www.expert.aaanet.ru/rabota/tras_zam.htm), under "Устройство пружинных замков": ...Одной из разновидностей замков такого типа являются так называемые контрольные замки. Корпус изготовлен из листового металла, дужка - круглого сечения с одним длинным (запираемым) и другим коротким (свободным) концами. Ригель в форме фигурной пластины свободно укреплен на оси и под действием пружины постоянно отклоняется правым краем в сторону запираемого конца дужки. Запирается замок без ключа... But I am not 100% sure it's the right answer. |

padlock with telltale indicator Explanation: This might be one way of translating it. Here's a Russian definition: Контрольные замки. Замки, обеспечивающие возможность обнаружить случаи, когда их открывают посторонние лица. And in English: "Your ability to successfully claim for stolen items is greatly increased by the fact that you are making the claim as soon as you received your bag, and by the fact you can point to your lock and show that the **telltale indicator** is red, indicating someone has opened it."
