Kensington Desktop & Peripherals Locking Kit 2.0

Kensington Desktop & Peripherals Locking Kit 2.0 is a multi-device security solution that secures a desktop PC plus up to three peripherals and a wired keyboard and mouse with a high-strength lock head, adapters, and an 8-foot cut-resistant cable.

This updated kit from Kensington combines a reinforced lock head, the brand’s 5mm keying system with Hidden Pin Technology, peripheral adapters, and an anchor plate to secure devices that lack a standard Kensington Security Slot. It’s designed for offices, classrooms, libraries and shared workspaces where protecting multiple components at once reduces theft risk while keeping equipment accessible to authorized users.

How does the lock physically secure a desktop and multiple peripherals?

The lock head attaches to a compatible security slot on a PC or uses the included anchor plate for devices without a slot. Two peripheral adapters and a cable trap let you lock monitor stands, external drives, docking stations or other accessories so they stay paired with the main workstation.

• Strong lock head engineered for desktop PCs and other devices
• Two adapters and a cable trap secure up to three accessories
• Anchor plate provides a secure attachment for slotless devices

What anti-tamper features protect the keys and lock mechanism?

The kit uses Kensington’s 5mm Keying System with patented Hidden Pin Technology to make unauthorized picking more difficult. The mechanical key design is simple for authorized users while resisting standard tampering techniques used against basic locks.

• 5mm key cylinder with Hidden Pin Technology for anti-pick resistance
• Durable internal components for long-term reliability
• Re-keyable or replaceable options align with facility security policies

How durable is the cable and how can it be anchored?

The kit includes an 8-foot carbon steel cable designed to resist cutting and abrasions, allowing you to route it around fixed structures like desks, tables or heavy furniture. The cable’s length and strength make it practical for anchoring a full desktop setup while keeping the work area functional.

• 8-foot carbon steel cable offers extended reach and cut resistance
• Cable anchors to desks, tables or any secure fixed structure
• Flexible routing options reduce strain on connected devices

What accessories are included and how do I use them?

The kit ships with the lock head, two peripheral adapters, a cable trap, an anchor plate and keys. Install the anchor plate on devices without security slots, attach the adapters or cable trap to peripherals, and loop the cable through the anchor to anchor it to a fixed point.

• Lock head and two keys for the central security point
• Two adapters and a cable trap to secure monitors, drives or docks
• Anchor plate for devices lacking a Kensington slot

Who this is for: IT managers, school technology coordinators, librarians, shared-office operators and business owners who need to protect whole desktop setups — not just laptops — will find this kit useful. It’s made for environments where multiple peripherals must remain paired with a host machine, offering a single keyed solution to secure monitors, external drives, docking stations, keyboards and mice while staying easy for authorized staff to unlock and move when necessary.
