Targus - DEFCON Combo Lock (CL)

If you have to travel with your laptop, you know how worried you can get when you have to leave it unattended. Stop worrying. This is an easy to use lock down that thwarts someone just picking up your laptop and walking away. I've also used mine in hotel rooms to string together bags I don't want someone to walk out with.

There is not a lot that I need to say about this item because it accomplishes the purpose I purchased it for. When you have to leave your laptop unattended in a public place like a library or empty classroom, it can be safely secured with this device. It was recommended to me by a couple of my friends and I would definitely recommend it to someone else who may be looking for a convenient and inexpensive way to secure their laptop or whatever else that needs to be secured when you cannot be there to watch it for yourself. The combination locking system is cool because you do not have keys to lose or leave at home or in the car after you have locked something up. I really hope this helps you in your decision to purchase this product. It was a great purchase for me. I have not found any cons about this item.

I love this lock I bought for my work laptop. It latches on easily and stays secure. I would buy another one in the future.

Easy to set code. Easy to use. Easy to hook safely in dorm to desk. Cable was plenty long enough. Hopefully daughter will NEVER have to have it fully tested (meaning NO ONE will attempt to steal her lap top from dorm room)...but so far it's working as we expected and adding another layer of security to one of the more expensive items with her at school.

I recently purchased and donated a new laptop for use by our church. I was not so much concerned about theft as with people moving the laptop from the sanctuary where it's often needed to drive our projection system to some other place on the premises where it couldn't be immediately found when needed. The Targus cable lock turned out to be a simple and elegant solution to address that concern. The cable lock is simple and works great.

Used two of these at the office on iMacs. You can stick the security bracket anywhere - and it sticks! I put it on with just a slight angle and could not move it at all one second later! They also supply screws and recommend both, but I don't think that it going anywhere. The last one I bought did not have the spacers around the lock attachment in the pack - luckily I had one left over from the first install.

Great for traveling. Used it in Mexico when I setup my laptop for work. Cable is strong enough to deter theft but can be cut with quality cutters. But there's a tradeoff between convenience and 100% security. This is a good balance between the two.

This is a strong cable with a coating to make cutting through it difficult. The four-number security lock allows for keyless security. As long as it is a number you can remember you can get it open without fearing for a lost key - I strongly prefer this setup to a keyed lock. It works as advertised with my laptop and is long enough to secure it to most desk setups.
