Cable lock accessory Plate Targus ASP001GLX Silver 1 pc

The Targus ASP001GLX Lock Slot Adapter provides a simple way to add physical security to devices that lack a built-in lock slot. The slim silver plate attaches to a flat area on a tablet, laptop or monitor using the included 3M adhesive, creating a secure anchor point for a compatible cable lock. The accessory is lightweight and designed for discreet installation while maintaining device portability.

Advantages

The adapter offers a quick, non-invasive method to secure equipment without modifying the device. Its 3M adhesive provides firm attachment to smooth surfaces, and the silver finish blends with most devices. Compatible with standard T-bar cable locks, the plate enables theft deterrence in public and open business environments.

Suitable for

• Tablets and ultrathin laptops that lack a built-in security slot
• Point-of-sale systems, digital displays and kiosks in retail environments
• Monitors and all-in-one PCs with flat rear or side surfaces

When it may not be suitable

The adapter relies on adhesive bonding, so it is not suitable for devices with textured, curved or porous surfaces where the tape cannot form a reliable seal. It is also not a substitute for integrated lock slots on high-risk installations that require certified anchoring methods.

Key specifications

• Material: metal plate with adhesive backing
• Colour: silver
• Weight: approximately 45 g
• Mounting: 3M adhesive strip (included)
• Lock compatibility: standard T-bar cable locks (sold separately)

How to use

Clean and dry the chosen flat surface on the device, remove the protective liner from the 3M adhesive strip, then press the plate firmly onto the device and hold according to the adhesive manufacturer’s instructions to ensure full bond. After the adhesive sets, attach a compatible T-bar cable lock through the adapter to secure the device.

What to consider before purchase

• Check that the device has a smooth, flat area large enough for the plate
• Confirm compatibility with a T-bar cable lock you intend to use
• Consider environmental conditions (heat, humidity) that may affect adhesive performance

Usage recommendations

For best results, allow the adhesive to cure undisturbed for the time recommended by the adhesive manufacturer before placing the device under stress. Periodically inspect the bond and cable lock for wear and replace if any damage is found.
