It uses a 4-digit resettable combination mechanism with 10,000 possible code variations, eliminating the need for physical keys. This cable lock engages with standard wedge lock slots found on most laptops, providing theft deterrence through a carbon steel cable and expanding internal hooks.
How does the resettable combination feature work?
The resettable combination allows users to change the 4-digit code as needed for security updates or user rotation. This feature supports environments where multiple people access the same device or where periodic code changes are required. Kensington provides Register & Retrieve™ service for secure online code registration, enabling recovery if the combination is forgotten without compromising security.
What devices are compatible with this lock?

The slim head design specifically accommodates ultra-thin laptops and 2-in-1 convertible devices, allowing them to lie flat without elevation. It is not designed for devices without security slots or those using proprietary locking mechanisms.
How durable is the carbon steel cable?
The carbon steel cable is engineered for high durability and cutting resistance. It has been independently verified and tested to meet industry-leading standards for torque, pull attempts, foreign implements, lock lifecycle, and corrosion resistance. This construction ensures the cable can withstand tampering attempts while maintaining flexibility for anchoring to various desk and table configurations.
What warranty comes with this lock?

This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship, offering long-term assurance from the company that invented laptop security locks. The warranty reflects Kensington's confidence in the product's durability and performance in theft-deterrence applications.
How does the lock secure to the device?
The lock secures through expanding side hooks that engage the internal sides of the device's wedge lock slot.
