Secure Lock Cables for Your Laptop
Laptop owners have the benefit of taking their work with them wherever they are. Laptops are great for travel purposes as well, giving you a mobile computer that you can open and use whenever you want, even on an airplane. With the ease of access that laptops provide to social media platforms, banking apps, and business emails, our laptops carry precious information that could lead to account hacks if your device is stolen. Therefore, it is important to secure your laptop’s safety when using it in public spaces.
Using a Laptop Cable Lock
Laptops are fitted with lock slots that are used as a security measure when using your device in a public area. These lock slots are designed to fit a locking mechanism that is attached to an immovable object to discourage any grab-and-run theft attempts. With a cable lock, your laptop can be attached to heavy desks, coffee tables, and similar objects that would provide enough resistance when someone yanks on the cable itself. Although it is possible to break the locking mechanism free from the lock slot, it will cause irreparable damage, as the lock slot is carefully placed next to an essential component of the device.
Which Cable Lock Should I Use?
Laptops have different types of lock slots, dependent on the brand and type of laptop that you own. Commonly, there are 2 types of lock slots when it comes to laptops – Kensington slots and Noble slots. Kensington slots, or K-slots, are 3 mm x 7 mm and marked with a “K” and a small lock icon. These slots fit T-bar locking heads. Noble slots are 3,2 mm x 4,5 mm, fitting a wedge lock as opposed to a turn-in T-bar. K-slots are more common than Noble slots.

We use commercial-grade steel and alloys to manufacture our locking heads, attaching them to galvanised steel cables that are sheathed in PVC.
