Review on Enhanced Security TZ08T Low Profile Wedge Lock with Flat Key by Noble Locks by Brian Kumar

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good. Might be more reliable.

I have used this with my 2015 XPS 13 and it works very well. I like the access speed with a key compared to a 4 digit combination lock. I find it comparable to the $20 Kensington locks I've bought and for the relative cost of other Noble Wedge locks it seems pretty good. Lock: Insert the lock into the connector (no key required), slide the slider forward. The push handle is too small in my opinion. It's too easy for me to run my finger over it without fully locking the lock, but my only complaint is that it's unreliable. When I'm competent, it works well. Unlock: The key is inserted without effort until you feel the resistance of the spring, and when you press it, the lock opens. It opens smoothly and requires little effort, and unlocking has a distinct feel, making it intuitive when unlocking the lock. With practice, this could be done with one hand, maybe even without looking. Good: The lock seems secure enough. Everything feels good, the cable is of medium thickness and length. It comes with two keys, one of which I carry with me and the other in my room in case I lose my keys. Required work: Inserting the key is not as secure as I would like. If the key is not centered in the hole, it will not slide in and self-align as expected. It is stuck and must be removed and inserted correctly. It's not ideal if you're in a hurry or like to work things dreamy-dreamy, but it's not hard to work with if you're careful and align the key well. Conclusion: This is a good castle. intuitively when the lock is open. With practice, this could be done with one hand, maybe even without looking. Good: The lock seems secure enough.
