Skip this product - does not work at all

Bought this combination lock to protect my flat screen TV at school. When I received the package everything looked fine. I opened it and followed the instructions very carefully. The factory default is set to "0000" as advertised, but after setting it to 0000 it did not unlock. I tried turning it in different directions to reset the toggle switches but nothing worked. Skip it and spend a little more money on something more useful than a paperweight. I don't plan on returning this as evenโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • No instructions

works for me; Price is Right

After my laptop was stolen from a restaurant while I wasn't looking, I needed something to secure my laptop and prevent it from being taken away. This product works well for me. You can set your own combination and it fits into the laptop's lock port. It's covered in a nice plastic cover so the exposed cable isn't visible. Admittedly it doesn't look like a BMW precision tool and needs to be pushed in a bit to fit the laptop, but it seems to work. Unlike other reviewers, I didn't see the plastic

Pros
  • Eligible
Cons
  • No Form Required

It does what it says on the tin

I've been using this lock for about two years now and it works very well. I hate lugging around extra keys so the combination lock was just what I was looking for. I had an issue with this a few months ago, but it was partly my fault. For a few minutes I was worried (ie going insane) because the place I was working at was supposed to be closed but the lock wouldn't open. (Do I need to take a chair home or quickly buy a saw to cut the lock?) I think that's what some of the most negative reviewsโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Hard to remember but it was

Very nice laptop lock!

Very good laptop lock. I've had cheap models - and the big difference is the locking mechanism that snaps into place inside the laptop. The cheapest ones can be removed with a small screwdriver or pocket knife. This one is a lot harder. I have one and the one that has the locking mechanism screwed into the laptop and the lock snapped onto it is the best I've seen. If you can afford it, buy it, if not, it offers pretty good security.

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • Long delivery time

You get what you pay for.

The lock is inexpensive and of equally poor quality. I was correct in assuming the steel cable was strong enough for my purposes, but the attachment point is very weak and doesn't attach securely to the laptop. If you're looking for more visual containment, this lock will work for you. But if you're trying to stop someone from actually yanking it and running away with your laptop, go for the more expensive alternative. This lock can be picked without tools.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Security

Excitement turned into disappointment.

I unpacked it today and was very impressed with its sturdy construction. It looks and feels very durable and strong. I followed the instructions to set up my own combination and tested it out before connecting my laptop. It was difficult to fit into the laptop lock hole on my 2011 13" Macbook Pro. But in the end I managed to install it properly. However, after pulling to make sure it was secure, it tugged figured out. unlocking the device myself. I've tried setting it to my combination as wellโ€ฆ

Pros
  • handy item
Cons
  • contact seller

Works well

I don't know why so many people have trouble with this lock. I've been using it for about two weeks and I block/unblock about 4 times a day on average with no problems. I might have gotten a 'good' one, but I suspect other reviewers may have misfollowed the instructions for setting the initial combo, or accidentally reset their combo when trying to unlock it, since the layout of the two buttons can be confusing can. so the combination wheel can use the center line so you can be 100% sure theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Quick start guide
