FAQ
What types of devices does this laptop lock secure?
The Kensington K64457TAA N17 lock is designed to secure notebooks and tablets that feature a wedge-shaped lock slot. This compatibility covers many modern laptops and tablets from major manufacturers, providing physical security for portable devices in business, educational, and public settings.
How does the Master Keyed On Demand feature work?
Master Keyed On Demand allows organizations to manage multiple locks under a single master key system. This means a designated master key can open all locks deployed across the organization, while individual locks also come with their own unique keys. This system simplifies key management for IT and security teams, reducing the number of keys needed and streamlining access control in large deployments.
What is TAA compliance and why is it important?
TAA compliance indicates that this lock meets the requirements of the Trade Agreements Act, which governs U.S. government procurement. Products must be manufactured or substantially transformed in designated countries. This compliance makes the lock suitable for federal, state, and institutional purchases where adherence to these trade agreements is mandatory for contracting and procurement processes.
How durable is the cable and lock construction?
The lock is built with carbon steel and plastic materials, offering tamper resistance, theft resistance, and cut resistance. The carbon steel cable provides strength against cutting attempts, while the lock body resists prying and physical attacks. This durability ensures reliable performance in high-traffic or public environments where security hardware may face frequent use or attempted tampering.
What is the length of the security cable?
The cable measures 6 feet (1.83 meters) in length. This provides flexibility for securing devices to various anchoring points like desks, tables, or fixed structures while allowing enough slack for comfortable device use. The length balances security with practicality, accommodating different setup configurations without restricting movement excessively.
What warranty coverage does this lock include?
Kensington provides a 5-year limited warranty for this lock. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use, offering long-term assurance for enterprise and institutional buyers. The extended warranty period reflects the product's durable construction and reliability, supporting deployments where security hardware must remain functional over many years.
