Our online store features a variety of key-operated and 4-digit combination locks that are compatible with K-slot Standard, K-slot Nano, and Noble wedge lock slots. For the most part, Dell laptops are fitted with Noble wedge lock slots. In this article, we talk about the difference between K-slots and Noble lock slots and some of our options for Dell owners.
What is a Noble Lock Slot?
There are several types of IT hardware that are fitted with lock slots today – with the original idea coming from laptops and notebooks These lock slots are strategically located next to an essential component on such a device. Therefore, should a lock cable be forcefully removed from its lock slot, the essential component will be damaged, and the device will malfunction as a result. Most laptops and notebooks are fitted with K-slots. However, Dell laptop locks are most likely Noble wedge locks.
What is the Difference Between a K-Slot and a Noble Slot?
K-slots fit T-bar locking mechanisms that rotate into place when locked. Such a lock slot provides perpendicular resistance when force is applied. Noble lock slots fit a wedge locking mechanism that pops into place and does not require any vertical room for the lock to be secured. The nature of this lock slot allows it to be applied to thinner and more compact laptops and notebooks, which is why Dell laptops commonly feature Noble lock slots as opposed to K-slots.
