FAQ
What type of laptops is this lock compatible with?
This Kensington lock is specifically designed for laptops and notebooks that have a wedge-shaped security slot, which is a common security feature on many business and consumer portable computers. It is not compatible with round or square security slots, so verify your device's slot type before purchase.
How does the resettable combination feature work?
The lock includes a mechanism that allows you to change the 4-digit combination after it is set. This is typically done by inserting a reset tool (often included or using a paperclip) into a small hole while the lock is open, setting a new code, and then removing the tool. This lets you update the combination for new users or after security concerns.
What is the cable length, and is it sufficient for most setups?
The cable is 5.9 feet (1.80 meters) long, providing ample reach to secure a laptop to desk legs, fixed furniture, or other anchor points in typical office, classroom, or library environments. This length accommodates most common securing scenarios without excessive slack.
What material is the cable made from, and how durable is it?
The cable is constructed from braided carbon steel, a strong and cut-resistant material that provides effective theft deterrence. Carbon steel offers high tensile strength, making the lock suitable for protecting valuable devices against opportunistic theft attempts in public or shared spaces.
Does this lock come with a warranty?
Yes, the Kensington Slim N17 2.0 Combination Laptop Lock is backed by a 5-year limited warranty. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship, providing long-term assurance for your security investment in business, education, or institutional settings.
Is this lock suitable for securing other devices besides laptops?
While primarily designed for laptops with wedge-shaped slots, it can potentially secure other compatible devices like monitors, projectors, or small electronics that have a matching security slot. However, its official specification supports notebooks, so ensure compatibility with non-laptop devices before use.
