Kensington Slot Locks for Your Laptop or Notebook
Kensington lock slots are commonly featured on a plethora of electronic hardware as part of their functional designs. These lock slots are marked with a capitalised K next to or on a slot icon that is located next to the K-slot on the device itself. The slot is 3 mm x 7 mm in size, about the same size of a regular USB port. It is important to correctly identify the type of lock slot on your device to fit an accommodating lock slot type into the device when locking it onto an immovable object. Noble lock slots operate with wedge locks, which will not fit a K-slot because of the structural design of the slot itself.
How Does a K-slot Protect My Device?
A K-slot allows the owner of the specific electronic device to plug in a Kensington lock, attaching the device to a cable that wraps around an immovable object, much like a bicycle chain. The slot mechanism deploys a T-lock when locked into the K-slot, safely securing the lock mechanism to the device. Kensington slots are strategically placed next to an essential piece of hardware to discourage forceful removal of the slot from the device. The robust design of the slot would cause irreparable damage and noticeable cosmetic damage to the device in the case of forceful removal. Therefore, criminals will think twice before attempting to steal your device when using it in public spaces such as airports and restaurants.
