FAQ
What types of devices does this Kensington lock support?
This Kensington K64440WW N17 lock is designed for Dell notebooks and tablets that feature the universal Kensington Security Slot (K-Slot). Most business and consumer Dell laptops include this standardized security slot, typically located on the side or rear of the device. The lock also works with tablets when used with compatible cases or docking stations that incorporate the K-Slot interface.
How does the keyed locking mechanism work?
The keyed lock uses a traditional mechanical system where you insert the provided key into the lock cylinder, turn it to engage the locking mechanism, and then remove the key. Once locked, the cable cannot be detached from the device without the correct key. This provides straightforward physical security without batteries, electronic components, or combination codes to remember or maintain.
What is the cable length and material?
The cable measures 6 feet (1.83 meters) in length, providing sufficient reach to secure your device to desks, tables, or other anchor points while maintaining comfortable working distance. The cable is constructed from carbon steel, a durable material that resists cutting attempts and provides reliable security against opportunistic theft in business and institutional environments.
Can this lock be used with non-Dell devices?
While specifically marketed for Dell devices, this lock works with any notebook, tablet, or other equipment that features the industry-standard Kensington Security Slot. The K-Slot has become a universal security interface adopted by most laptop manufacturers. As long as your device has this slot (typically a small rectangular opening with a metal tab inside), this Kensington lock will be compatible regardless of brand.
What are the physical dimensions of the lock body?
The lock body measures 1.10 inches (27.94 mm) in height, 0.40 inches (10.16 mm) in width, and 0.40 inches (10.16 mm) in depth, with a thickness of 0.20 inches (5.08 mm). These compact dimensions ensure the lock sits close to your device without significantly protruding or interfering with adjacent ports, cables, or ventilation openings on your laptop or tablet.
Where is this Kensington lock manufactured?
This Kensington K64440WW N17 Keyed Laptop Lock is manufactured in Taiwan. Kensington maintains quality control standards across its manufacturing facilities to ensure consistent product reliability and performance. The country of origin information helps businesses with procurement requirements and supply chain transparency for their security equipment purchases.
