FAQ
What devices is this laptop lock compatible with?
The Kensington K63331TAA lock is designed to secure most notebooks and tablets that feature a Kensington Security Slot (K-Slot) or compatible locking port. This includes laptops from major manufacturers like Dell, HP, Lenovo, Apple (with adapter), and Microsoft Surface devices, as well as many tablets used in business and education environments.
How does the 4-wheel combination mechanism work?
The lock uses a 4-wheel combination dial that allows users to set a custom numeric code. Each wheel has 10 positions (0-9), creating 10,000 possible combinations for enhanced security. Users rotate the dials to their chosen code to lock and unlock the device, eliminating the need for physical keys and reducing key management overhead.
What does 'serialized' mean for this lock?
Serialized means each lock has a unique identification number engraved or printed on it. This enables organizations to track individual locks for inventory management, asset control, and loss prevention. In multi-lock deployments, serial numbers help maintain records of which locks are assigned to specific locations or devices.
Why is TAA compliance important for this product?
TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliance indicates that the lock meets U.S. government procurement requirements for products purchased with federal funds. This makes it suitable for schools, universities, government agencies, and contractors who must adhere to these regulations. TAA compliance ensures the product is manufactured in or substantially transformed in a designated country per trade agreements.
How long is the security cable and what is it made of?
The security cable measures 6 feet (1.83 meters) in length, providing ample reach to secure devices to desks, tables, or anchored points. It is constructed from braided carbon steel, which offers high tensile strength and cut resistance. The cable is coated for durability and flexibility while maintaining security integrity.
What security features protect against theft or tampering?
This lock incorporates multiple security layers: the carbon steel cable resists cutting tools; the lock housing is tamper-resistant to prevent forced entry; the 4-wheel combination provides cryptographic protection against guessing; and the overall design deters quick removal attempts. These features work together to secure devices in public or shared environments.
