Whether you use a laptop in a busy office, classroom, retail display, or on the road, this cable lock provides a simple, keyless way to secure your device to a fixed object.

How does this lock attach to my laptop and stay secure?

The lock inserts into the Noble-style wedge slot found on many modern laptops and desktops. The head sits flush against low-profile notebooks and an 18 mm diameter lock mechanism secures the cable without needing a key.

• Fits Noble® Wedgelock®/wedge lock slots on compatible laptops and devices
• Lock head designed for flush alignment with slim notebooks
• Bumper spacers prevent scratching where the lock meets the chassis
• Swiveling hinge rotates and pivots for easier engagement in tight areas

What level of physical protection and durability does the cable offer?

The cable uses multi-strand steel with a 4.4 mm diameter and a vinyl outer coating that resists chafing and helps hide wear. StarTech.com tests the lock assembly to withstand significant force in everyday scenarios, offering a practical theft deterrent when you need to leave a device unattended.

• 2 m (6.6 ft) cable length lets you anchor to desks, posts, or immovable fixtures
• Vinyl coating guards against scratches and corrosion while maintaining flexibility
• Lock body rated for strong retention and tested against typical tampering attempts
• Swiveling lock head reduces stress at the entry point for longer service life

How do I set and reset the combination?

The mechanism is keyless and uses a four-digit combination that you set yourself, giving 10,000 possible codes. Resetting is straightforward, so you can change the code whenever you like to keep access restricted to trusted users.

• 4-digit combination provides easy, keyless access control
• Resettable design allows you to change the code as needed
• No keys to lose—ideal for shared environments and travel
• Simple operation suitable for tight or awkward locking positions thanks to the swivel hinge

Can I still use my laptop normally while it’s locked?

Yes — the swivel and pivot action in the lock head give you two axes of movement, so the laptop can be opened, angled, and repositioned within the cable’s length without detaching. This lets you work or demonstrate devices while they remain physically secured.

• 360° rotation plus 90° pivot keeps the cable out of the way of ports and screens
• Allows normal screen and keyboard use while tethered
• Flexible cable lets you position the device within the reachable area
• Ideal for point-of-sale, kiosks, classrooms, and shared office desks
