Product Features
Technical Overview
The Kensington K64436 employs a master keyed lock system, allowing a single key to operate multiple locks across an organization. This simplifies key management and reduces administrative overhead compared to individual keyed locks. The lock mechanism engages securely with the notebook's built-in security slot, providing a physical anchor point that prevents unauthorized removal.
Constructed from hardened steel, the cable offers high resistance to cutting tools and physical attacks. The lock housing is engineered for durability, with internal components designed to withstand repeated use and environmental stressors common in shared workspaces.

FAQ
What type of lock mechanism does the Kensington K64436 use?
The Kensington K64436 features a master keyed lock mechanism. This means a single master key can operate multiple K64436 locks, which is particularly useful for IT administrators managing security for entire fleets of notebook computers. The lock engages securely with standard Kensington security slots found on most notebooks.
Which devices are compatible with this cable lock?
The Kensington K64436 is specifically designed for notebook computers that feature built-in Kensington security slots. This includes most business and consumer notebooks from major manufacturers. The lock is not compatible with devices lacking these security slots or with other equipment types unless they have compatible anchor points.
How durable is the cable construction?
The cable is constructed from hardened steel, providing high tensile strength and resistance to cutting tools. This durable construction ensures the lock can withstand physical tampering attempts while maintaining reliability through repeated use cycles. The lock housing is similarly engineered for durability in shared workspace environments.
What are the benefits of a master keyed system?
A master keyed system allows a single key to operate all K64436 locks within an organization. This simplifies key management by eliminating the need for multiple key sets, reduces administrative overhead, and decreases the risk associated with lost or stolen keys. It provides centralized access control for IT departments managing security across multiple devices and locations.
Where is the Kensington K64436 typically deployed?
Common deployment environments include educational institutions (computer labs, libraries), corporate offices (shared workstations, meeting rooms), retail settings (point-of-sale systems), healthcare facilities (medical workstations), and public spaces where notebooks require security but remain accessible. The master keyed configuration makes it especially valuable for organizations with multiple secured devices.
How much does the Kensington K64436 weigh?
The Kensington K64436 weighs approximately 8 ounces (226.80 grams). This lightweight design minimizes desk clutter and maintains portability, making it practical for users who need to secure notebooks in multiple locations while adding minimal bulk to portable setups.
