Questions & Answers
The lock housing has a screw (with slot) at the end. Normal operation requires that it be in the up position (12 o'clock). To open the lock, rotate the lock to the correct combination and press the black button. Turn the screw slot to the three o'clock position while holding the button down. I'm not sure if you should turn it clockwise or counterclockwise, but after you've turned the screw, rotate the combination to the new number and then back to 12 o'clock. Turn the tumblers by releasing the button. The new number should be entered at that point. Best wishes to you.
Yes, I'm using it with a speck case on a 2011 15-inch MacBook Pro. Because of the case, I have to open the lid to insert the lock, but this isn't a problem. br>I'm not sure about the newer Retina MacBook Pros; you'll have to look around to see if they'll fit in that chassis. Almost every laptop chassis has a lock hole designed for these locks, but due to the shape of the laptop body and other factors, some laptops may cause issues.br>Hope this helps!
Hello there, the Dell XPS has a wedge-shaped keyboard. You can check out our N17 series combination lock (K68008WW) for your device if it has a shaped lock slot that is compatible with our N17 series cable lock.br>Thank you for your question!
My MacBook Pro is from 2012, and it still works perfectly.

After 6- After 7 months of normal office-desk use, the lock became stuck in an unlocked but unreachable position. I experimented with wiggling and resetting, as well as adding a little prayer - Nothing was of any assistance. I spoke with customer service via online chat, and they were more than happy to send me a replacement - However, I needed to first locate a wire cutter to cut the cable and then a hacksaw to remove the lock before I could finally free my laptop. Now, none of this is a major inconvenience when I'm at work or at home, but it occurred to me that I might be stuck in an airport or at a Starbucks somewhere (I also purchased a backpack with a Kensington lock). I thought these things were bulletproof and super reliable, but now I'm hesitant to use them because the support was literally fleeing when I kept asking if this was a known issue, etc. I thought these things were bulletproof and super reliable, but now I'm hesitant to use them. My main concern isn't the pathetic $20, but rather being stranded somewhere without the tools to "steal" my own laptop (yeah, right), or looking like a thief trying to persuade some bypasser to help me "steal" my own laptop (yeah, right). I hope they notice and continue to work on improving this product, as it is clearly incomplete. No one was tinkering with the lock, so it didn't break - It was used on a regular basis, once or twice a day at the most.
Laptop computers are most commonly stolen when they are easily accessible. The average thief will be looking for something easier to grab and run with as a result of this obvious cable lock. A pair of bolt cutters could be brought by any thief intent on stealing your laptop. It was simple enough to reset the combination. Although the lock functions properly, there is one flaw in its design. The lock does not rotate with the cable. This means that at table level, the combination's window only points directly to the front or back. To see the numbers, any nearby computer cables must be unplugged and the laptop must be picked up. When I turn the combination to the front, the lock's release button is at the bottom. If the combination and release buttons could rotate with the cable, this cable lock would be much easier to use. It works fine if you set it and only take your laptop home once in a while; daily unlocking, on the other hand, seems inconvenient to the point where I'd soon abandon the lock.
This is what I got.
The code was incorrect at the start. The documentation stated that the initial code was 1234, but this was incorrect, preventing me from using the lock or changing the combination. I assumed the default setting was 0000, and it worked. With that in mind, it appears to be a good fit.
In addition, the instructions are incorrect. The first time I ordered this from Amazon, the lock was delivered locked and with no combination to open it. or any other directives. It didn't work with the combination that was set. Neither did the number zero. 0 or any of the other possibilities I came up with. (I admit that I haven't tried every one of the 10,000 possibilities. ) ) Irrelevant. Who sells a combination lock that is locked and has the combination? br>br>I got the instructions a second time, and the default combination was 0-. It is important to note that the lock's instructions are incorrect. The screw thing is turned to the horizontal position to set the combination and then to the vertical position to use the lock once the combination has been set, as shown in the diagram. It's the opposite of what you're saying. To use the lock, turn the screw to the HORIZONTAL (and flush) position after setting the combination. br>br>Aside from that, the lock works fine; I'm not sure how difficult it would be to twist the tiny teeth out of a slot (perhaps with minor computer damage), but I'm not going to try. In any case, the lock presents a significant, if not insurmountable, barrier to casual theft.
