Slim N17 Combination Lock (K68008WW)

As mentioned in the title, I use this for my work laptop and it does the job well easy to set up easy to remember taking home and to work to carry my laptop is easy

I guess I would give 5 stars for the product itself. There are a few different size lock holes, so make sure you get one that fits your computer. The cable is well made and stronger than needed. The cord length is more than ample. My minus one star would not be for the product itself but because the "weak link in the chain" is not the cable. The locking hole in the device itself is the weakest part of the system. One sharp tug results in the device coming free from the cable lock (I have tested this on old devices). So yes, it acts as a deterrent, but a thief in the know can grab your device with hardly any ruckus.

Not a lot to say about this - it fits, I was able to set my own code, and install it on my laptop.. The IKEA-like directions are adequate - you have to do the 6 step "reset combination" to set your initial 4-digit secret code combination. I had to use a small screwdriver instead of a paper clip. You use the 4-step instructions to install it on your laptop. How to remove it should be obvious - set your secret code, slide the lever on the side of the lock and pull it out of the laptop. I still haven't got over Dell changing to this wedge-shaped type of security device.

I purchased this lock because it was the only one that would fit the smaller wedge notch for my Dell laptops. When I push the lock into the hole for my Dell XPS 15 it goes in with no problems. However, when I push the lock into the hole for my Dell Latitude 3410 the spring loaded latch does not always close. I have to turn the lock until it gets to a spot where the latch will fully close back to its original position. I'm then able to lock it. When it's time to take the lock out I have to turn it to just the right position for it to come out. I've only had this issue on my Dell Latitude. As others have stated, the roller wheels to change the numbers are very small and close to one another. It's difficult at times of trying to turn one number without having the adjacent number turn too.

Good quality. Keeps my mind calm to think there is some security.

Do not buy this combination lock!! After years of successful use, our lock decided to change its combination on its own or otherwise failed to work properly. I had no means to override the mechanism to safely remove it from the laptop. After researching online, I found others have had the same misfortune. I had to use a hammer and cold chisel to chisel the lock into pieces which allowed it to release from the laptop without damaging the computer case. I switched to a keyed lock.

I was using a cable lock with keys until I lost one of the keys. The combo is safer and easier to use. The locking mechanism is strong and the cable is thicker than other brands. It won't stop a thief, but will be great for deterring them.

Buena calidad y en buen estado

The lock gets often stuck with the correct code and is impossible to unlock. You have to wiggle it and move around the combinations back and forth and pray that it will unlock at some point. Missed a couple of meetings because of this. Don't recommend.

Atendeu as minhas necessidades, encaixou muito bem no meu Notebook Dell.
