FAQ
What types of devices is this cable lock compatible with?
The LTULOCK4D is compatible with notebooks, desktop computers, and monitors that feature Kensington-style K-Slot, Nano, or Noble Wedge lock slots. This includes devices from major manufacturers like HP, Lenovo, Acer, Asus, and Dell, covering ultrathin laptops, Chromebooks, 2-in-1 tablets, and enterprise workstations.
How does the combination lock work and is it resettable?
This lock uses a 4-digit combination mechanism that provides keyless security with up to 10,000 possible code combinations. The combination is fully resettable, allowing users to change the code as needed for personalization or security updates without requiring manufacturer intervention or replacement parts.
What is the cable made of and how durable is it?
The security cable is constructed from cut-resistant steel with a vinyl coating that protects device surfaces from scratches. It has been tested to withstand 88lb of force, providing substantial theft deterrence. The 4.4mm thickness and vinyl coating ensure both durability and surface protection during regular use.
Can this lock be used with ultrathin laptops and tablets?
Yes, the lock is specifically designed for compatibility with ultrathin devices. The Nano lock tip works with devices like HP EliteBooks, Chromebook 11 G6/14 G5, and some 2-in-1 tablets. The 16mm diameter lock head and ball joint design ensure proper alignment even when devices lay flat, preventing strain on the lock slot.
What is included in the package with the cable lock?
The package includes the complete cable lock with all three interchangeable lock tips (for K-Slot, Nano, and Wedge compatibility) plus a hook-and-loop strap for cable organization. The strap helps keep the 6.5ft cable neatly bundled during transport or storage when not in active use.
How can I secure equipment to fixed surfaces with this lock?
While the lock itself secures devices through their built-in lock slots, you can anchor the cable to fixed surfaces using StarTech.com anchor points like the LTANCHOR or LTANCHORL (sold separately). This creates a complete security system that prevents both device removal and cable cutting when properly installed on desks, tables, or other furniture.
