The anchor plate is equipped with a self-tightening mechanism. It has an adhesive pad on the back that allows it to be stuck to a smooth surface. The key releases the cable lock's end, which pops off, leaving only the thin cable behind. The cable is threaded through the various security devices, and then the head is locked back onto the cable.
I purchased two, each with its own set of keys. They make use of the cylinder-shaped cylinder-shaped cylinder-shaped cylinder Locks of this nature are extremely difficult to pick. BUT. I also assume that there are a limited number of key combinations, so two keys may be identical. Regardless, this is an excellent product. It will secure a desktop computer, a hard drive, and a display adequately. It will, in the best-case scenario, slow down a burglar and possibly save your valuables. Everything in my office was cabled, and I kept the keys hidden from myself. All I have to do now is remember where I parked my car.
Small buttons on both adapters lock into a slot on your electronics. Because the adapter is a two-part sliding adapter, you must first place the part with the two buttons (ears) into the slot, then push the other side of the adapter back, rotate the adapter 90 degrees, and the part that slides down into the slot and locks it in place. The cable holes are now aligned and ready for the cable to pass through. After removing the cable, slide one side of the adapter up clear of the slot and pull it out by rotating it 90 degrees. I hope this information is useful.

My belongings and the Kensington cable that I used to secure them are visible in the photo. br>br>My roommate pawned my TV and Xbox One after cutting the cable with a common kitchen knife (as seen in the photo). This is why I bought the cable in the first place. As a result, I had to return to the pawn shop to retrieve my belongings. (Items fresh from the pawn shop are shown in the photo. ) Not only do I have to pay for this useless cable, but I also have to pay $145 to get my belongings back. A regular kitchen knife!! br>br> In about ten minutes It will take 15 minutes. Aside from that, the sticky pad serves no purpose. My roommate used a razor blade to remove it, leaving no trace on the television. I wish there was a way for me to give a negative rating. br>br>As a side note, I'm not leaving my roommate because of a drug problem. Roommate is a good person who has been trying for months to get into a detox/rehab facility because of a bad problem.
5 years. Before applying the pads, they were attached to painted surfaces that had been thoroughly cleaned. I redone these with some aftermarket ultra sticky double sided foam tape and they've been fine ever since, I hope. In any case, they do allow for the "locking" of items without a security slot, which is a plus. Given the experience with the adhesive pads, consider this a theft deterrent that would most likely not survive a few minutes with a screwdriver.
This isn't your typical "Kryptonite" bicycle lock. It's more of a nudge to say, "Hey, don't walk away with my stuff. " While cutting the cable would require some effort, the plastic plate and small metal tipped locking inserts are weak points that do not inspire confidence. The connection between the cable and the lock mechanism appears to be particularly flimsy. I couldn't get the lock off the cable on the first unit because I couldn't turn the key. It would turn as if it were full of sand, but it wouldn't let go. The first batch had to be returned. I immediately lubricated the lock with some spray after receiving the replacement, and it made a huge difference in how smoothly it worked. To unlock the lock, the key must rotate to the right, not left, as indicated by the arrow in the instructions. Again, this set will likely deter the casual clepto, but a determined thief and a good hard yank will almost certainly, and noisily, get your stuff.
This set will work well with computers and peripherals that have lock slots. The included adhesive blocks for devices without lock slots, on the other hand, are ineffective. On my printer, I had one. I followed the directions and used an alcohol pad to clean the surfaces. It worked at first, but after a few months, it fell off the printer, indicating that it didn't provide any protection. I recommend using epoxy to glue the blocks in place.
When I tried to put one of the sliding pieces of metal into the lock hole on my computer, it bent. I'm sorry, but I'm no longer able to use them. I had to weave the lock cable through the handle on my desktop case, which many people don't have; the cable, lock, and adhesive hole are all excellent; however, the two sliding apparatuses are cheap and of poor quality. One of the bent pieces is shown in the photos. I had thrown away the other piece, which was identical and bent in the same way, so I couldn't photograph it. Someone could easily twist, rip, and manhandle a piece out of a computer and steal the computer if it bends this way. Fortunately, I had other options for connecting the cable to my computer, but most people, especially those using laptops, do not.
I work in a large open office where many people come and go on a daily basis. I believe a theft would be more likely to be a crime of opportunity than a serious burglary in this location, as it is in many others. As a result, the casual thief will be deterred by this lock. It's simply easier to steal from the desk next to me, which has nothing locked down, than it is from my desk. The Kensington lock is particularly effective in this regard - 5 out of 5 stars It won't deter a determined burglar with a bolt cutter, but if he or she is truly committed, they are welcome to take my monitor and mouse.
Both of them were experiencing difficulties. These were purchased in pairs. Right away, both had issues opening and locking, but I figured it would be "good enough" because I could get them open with enough fidgeting. To get it off my computer, all I had to do was cut the remaining working cable. If I could, I would return them, but it has been far too long. br>br>I'd give it 0 stars if I could, but 1 star is acceptable because I was able to cut the cable with regular tin snips in less than a minute. We will not purchase these again. br>br>.
From a well-known brand, low-cost quality. I'm not pleased with myself. As far as I can remember, this is "the" brand of laptop cable locks. The cable is as follows: br> It's not huge, but it's adequate. br>The lock is as follows: The two locks for standard security connectors appear to be in good working order. br> They have a flimsy appearance to them. The two parts are, in my opinion, too far apart. Quality control does not appear to be a reality, or perhaps it was designed to be that way. This does not instill confidence, and it is far worse than any laptop cable-related incident. I've used other locks in the past, including a Kensington model. br>The part that sticks to a surface to catch the cable is the worst: it's made of plastic, for starters. Second, this is a piece of low-cost @$ plastic. Third, the adhesive isn't anything special (it's not the fancy 3M stuff that's supposed to hold super tight). I expected it to be plastic, but I'm disappointed by the poor quality. As a point of attachment, I'll get something else. br>br>Summary: br>br> This is something I would never buy again.
