Product Features
Technical Overview
The TZ18T employs a keyed lock mechanism that requires physical keys for engagement and disengagement, providing traditional security without electronic dependencies. The 6-foot (1.83-meter) cable offers sufficient length for flexible positioning while maintaining security through stainless steel construction that resists cutting attempts.
The low-profile wedge design minimizes the lock's footprint when installed, reducing interference with workspace ergonomics and peripheral connections. At approximately 3.70 ounces (105 grams), the complete lock system maintains a lightweight profile that doesn't add significant bulk to portable devices.

Deployment / Use Cases
The TZ18T wedge lock serves organizations requiring cost-effective physical security for portable computing assets. Its keyed operation makes it suitable for environments where electronic security systems aren't practical or where traditional key management is preferred.
In educational institutions, the lock secures laptops in computer labs, libraries, and classrooms against unauthorized removal. Retail environments benefit from its visible theft deterrent at point-of-sale stations or demonstration areas. Office deployments protect sensitive devices in open-plan workspaces, meeting rooms, and shared workstations where laptops remain stationary for extended periods.
Educational Security
Protects laptops in computer labs, libraries, and classroom carts where multiple users access devices throughout the day.
Retail & Demonstration
Secures demonstration units and point-of-sale systems in retail environments while maintaining accessibility for authorized staff.
Physical Profile
The silver finish provides a neutral appearance that complements various laptop colors and workspace aesthetics. The stainless steel construction ensures corrosion resistance in typical office environments, while the PVC coating protects laptop surfaces from abrasion during installation and removal. The compact wedge design maintains a low profile when engaged, minimizing interference with adjacent ports and peripherals.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 3.70 oz (105 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.

FAQ
What types of devices does the Noble TZ18T lock support?
The TZ18T is designed to secure notebooks and tablets that feature compatible security slots. It's specifically engineered for Dell consumer and gaming laptops, ensuring proper engagement with their security slot configurations. The lock mechanism works with devices that have the industry-standard wedge-style security slot commonly found on portable computing equipment.
How long is the security cable and what is it made from?
The security cable measures 6 feet (1.83 meters) in length, providing sufficient reach for flexible positioning while maintaining security. The cable is constructed from stainless steel for cut resistance, with additional steel components in the locking mechanism. A Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) coating protects device surfaces from scratches during installation and use.
What type of lock mechanism does the TZ18T use?
This lock employs a keyed lock configuration, requiring physical keys for both engagement and disengagement. The traditional keyed system provides reliable security without electronic components or power requirements. Users receive keys that operate the locking mechanism, making it suitable for environments where key management is preferred over combination or electronic systems.
Is this lock compatible with all Dell laptops?
The TZ18T is specifically designed for Dell consumer and gaming laptops that feature compatible security slots. While it's optimized for these Dell models, compatibility depends on the presence of a properly configured wedge-style security slot. Organizations should verify their specific Dell laptop models have the appropriate security slot before deployment.
What are the physical characteristics of the TZ18T lock?
The lock features a silver finish with construction materials including stainless steel, steel, and Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC). It weighs approximately 3.70 ounces (105 grams), making it lightweight enough not to burden portable devices. The low-profile wedge design minimizes the lock's footprint when installed, reducing interference with workspace ergonomics and peripheral connections.
Where is the TZ18T most effectively deployed?
This lock is ideal for environments requiring visible theft deterrence for stationary laptops, including educational institutions, retail spaces, offices, and public access areas. Its keyed operation suits locations where electronic security isn't practical or where traditional key management aligns with existing security protocols. The 6-foot cable allows flexible positioning while maintaining secure attachment to fixed structures.
