Poor design [Posted on 2006-08-04]
Very difficult to lock and unlock--I have to hold my MacBook Pro on edge to get a grip on the lock while I spin the wheels. Also the mechanism used to set new combinations is a lever that flips very easily. In locking or unlocking the lock, it is all too easy to inadvertently set a new combination.
I have no gripes with the security the device provides, but it is basically unusable. Very frustrating.
Lock Jammed after 3 months [Posted on 2006-12-15]
Bought this lock for my daughters dell in September. Worked fine. She set the lock. Unlocked it a couple of times. Went to unlock it for Thanksgiving, and it no longer worked. Need locksmith of hacksaw to remove from computer.
Not recommended.
How to remove a stuck 64050 lock [Posted on 2006-12-21]
My son's 64050 lock also jammed the second time he used it. It was surprisingly easy to remove. I used a pair of scissors to remove the rubber washer between the lock and the computer. Then I could bend the lock away from the computer enough to reach in with a pair of thin wire cutters (from Sears) and snip off the two pins that stick into the slot on the computer. The pins were very soft and easy to cut. With the pins cut the lock rotated 90 degrees and popped off. Total time about 2 minutes. Do not waste your money on this lock.
Do not buy this lock!! [Posted on 2007-11-23]
This is an all around bad product, mainly because it will change combinations on you completely unexpectedly. The design is flawed. Mine changed combinations on me spontaneously one day, I probably did it by mistake because of the design of the flip switch which is constantly flipping back and forth. I was about to drill it off when a colleague at work asked if he could try to get it off, he cracked the combination in less than five minutes after looking at a similar Kensington lock. This combination switch happens so frequently that Kensington will pay you the cost of a locksmith to remove it. I don't know why Amazon is still selling it. Do yourself a favour and buy something else.
For the price? Great item. [Posted on 2008-06-23]
ALL laptop locks can be easily circumvented by professional thieves. And ALL laptop locks provide good to excellent protection against opportunist NON-professional thieves. This lock is one of the fairly good ones. And - for the price - unbeatable.
