Laptop lock Navilock 20974 keyed for standard Kensington slot, short cable

Navilock 20974 keyed laptop lock is a mechanical security device designed for laptops and other equipment with a standard Kensington-style security slot. The compact lock head attaches to the slot while the short steel cable anchors the device to a fixed object, providing a space-saving solution where long cables would be impractical. The lock is supplied with keys and intended for basic physical theft deterrence in offices, classrooms, retail displays and public areas.

Advantages

The keyed mechanism offers straightforward, reliable operation without batteries or electronic components. The short cable length reduces clutter on desks and prevents tangling while still allowing secure attachment to furniture or fixed anchor points. The lock head matches the dimensions of a standard Kensington slot for compatibility with a wide range of laptops, docking stations and peripherals. Supplied keys simplify access control and make the lock easy to use for multiple authorized users.

• Securing laptops in offices and shared workspaces

How to use

Insert the lock head into the device’s Kensington-style security slot and turn the key to engage the locking latch. Loop the short cable around a secure, immovable anchor point such as a desk leg, table frame or fixed security anchor, then tighten any cable fittings so the device sits snugly against the anchor.
