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.

I had earlier purchased a Kensington combo lock for my Latitude 5501 and it wouldn’t fit. This was also listed as compatible so I tried it and it does fit in the hole and locks. This is a key lock rather than a combo, so keep track of where you put the key.
One thing that impressed me is how small the lock head is. I’m used to big clunky things hanging off the side of the laptop, but that’s not the case here.

#1 Take Away – Buy a Kensington lock! I love this product. But I probably chose the wrong kind of Kensington. The combination wheels are just a liiiiiiiittle too small for my fingers. I’m 6’3″ so I should have seen this coming. If you have medium-sized hands, buy this product. If you larger hands, thicker fingers, or problems with arthritis, Kensington offers the same product with a key instead of combination wheels.
Trying to decide between a key lock and combination lock? Keyed locks have the drawback of adding one more key to your ring and also the possibility of losing the key. Combination locks have the drawback that after you lock the cable to the computer, you have to scramble the wheels or else it isn’t really “locked.” And after you unlock it and remove the computer, you have to scramble the wheels or else you’ve left your combination visible for all to see. Choose wisely!

I purchased a “universal” laptop cable lock that turned out to not be “universal” at all. Returned it and got this for the exact model of newer Dell Laptop my client had and it works and fits like a charm. If you are looking for a cable lock for your laptop always check the size and type of security slot on your exact model.
outside of fit this had a good length, was easy to set the combination, and had a comfortable mechanism to open and close the teeth that fit in the security slot. If your laptop takes this connector, this is a great lock to have to stymie basic pick-up-and-walk-away type theft.

Please note, despite being advertised as “for Dell devices”, only one of the dual locks on this cable actually fits the micro security slot on most Dell devices. So, if you were hoping to secure two XPS13 / Latitude / XPS15 with this, forget it. The 2nd lock has the same key, but is just a regular Kempston lock. I think this is pretty bad given the price, and the fact that this item is specifically advertised as “for Dell Devices” (note the plural).

This works well with DELL Alienware M17 R4 (2020 model). By having a swivel head is a godsend. It’s easy to lock and unlock from the laptop. The cable itself is fairly stiff, so you won’t be able to move the laptop around much in locked position. Another plus – there is a rubber spacer between the lock to the laptop, so it will prevent the laptop (metal to metal) scratched.

Got a new Dell Lat 5510 and realized my older lock cable doesn’t fit the slot (story of my life…). This fits the new lock slots (N slot) and works like my old Kensington. Of all the issues with laptops, I can’t imagine a change in the lock slot is a necessity. Thank you Dell for making me spend more money, couldn’t do it without you! May all your slots be locked.

I’m required to use one of these since I take my work home. It covers me against disciplinary action in that I followed the security guidelines set forth by my employer.
However, this product (or any other laptop lock) will not stand up to a determined thief. It can be easily defeated with a cheap wire cutter. Also, a good yank will do the trick but it will be the structure of the laptop that fails, not the lock.
I gave it five stars because it does what it was designed to do – deter theft. Deter does not mean prevent so be aware of that.

Unfortunately, this is the only cable lock for my new Dell laptop. The wedge type is small and hard to get in but my main complaint is the slider; due to the smallness it is difficult for me the pull the button, insert the wedge, push and turn the lock, without moving one or more of the tumblers and thereby keeping the lock open. Even the illustration shows you get your fingers in the tumblers for the one-handed operation.
Once I get it in without affecting the tumblers it does its job well.

Feels well made, but considering how simple it is it’s pretty expensive.
Rob, London –
This product is very well made and looks very secure. Will deter casual attempts to remove unless the thief has bolt-cutters or a saw to cut through the table it is attached to!

It is just what I needed for my laptop: wedge lock.

No use as intended. The locks are 2 completely different designs and only one works in a standard Kensington recess. This is poorly cobbled together rubbish. Should be removed from sale.
