Customer Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - we've bought lots of them
We've bought over 50 of these locks for our computers, speakers, projectors, and document cameras for our high school classroom computer/media carts. They've worked great and are reasonably priced. Amazon has the best price, but only lets you buy 2.

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Garbage
This lock will work really well for a few months until it decides to spontaneously change its combination on you.Have fun working your way through all 10,000 possible combos or, like me, prying it off your expensive computer.Suddenly, the inconvenience of keeping a small key for a keyed-lock does not seem so bad.

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Got stuck one too many times
I used this lock for about six months before finally tossing it. It occasionally got stuck but I was always able to jiggle it open eventually (after about 5 minutes). Finally last week it got stuck and no amount of jiggling was able to unstick it. Finally forced it open by using pliers to force the button down (the combination was right the whole time) after a few days of carrying around the whole cable. Not a good lock if you want something dependable.

This is a DEFECTIVE product that apparently has a design flaw.

The first time it happened, I went through 9700 combinations to find the right one.I'm not doing it again!Fortunately, the lock was not on my laptop.For me, both times, I left ... Read More

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Mind of its own
Was given one of these for my laptop at work.Seemed OK, so I got one for my daughter to use at school and we set and tested the combination before she left.

When she got the lock on, the same combination was suddenly not working to get it open so I had to take a hacksaw to it during a campus visit.

Now the same thing has just happened to the one I have at work.Fortunately it happened when I was trying to put it on.

These phantom combination resets make the ... Read More
