🔒 Secure Your Mac Mini with Maclocks MMEN76 Security Mount Enclosure (Silver) Review

Not very happy with the locking mechanism - it's difficult to lock and unlock AND it looks flimsy - I think it's easily defeated with a simple procedure (which I did here won't describe) But as an opportunistic theft deterrent, I think this will work.

The included lock looks too weak where it connects to the bracket. It looks like applying enough force to the lock to bend and break the connector is easy. I didn't test it because it would require an attempt to break it. This is a major visual deterrent, however, with an obvious weak point that isn't visible once installed, so it should be enough to deter any would-be thief.

This is a great product! I would give one. 5 star rating if I knew this product does not come with a cable trap other than this product definitely protects the device and is very durable.

I have three of these units, one mounted on my desk, one mounted on the wall in a wiring closet and one in a travel bag as a more stable mount for this Mac Mini. This is a really great mounting solution. Thanks to the combination of screw cap and cable lock, this is a very secure attachment.

I bought this case for my Mac mini security job, it fills a need as a hardware security device but there is definitely room for improvement. I bought it not knowing the locking mechanism but it worked. I threw away the lock that came with the kit and used our own security cable. In terms of improvements, I wish there was some foam padding in the case to better protect the Mini from sliding around inside the case. I'll probably end up adding a wide weather cover.

The mount itself is well made and would be a good starting point for anyone wanting to use it to solve all their problems:* The locking mechanism is TERRIBLE. It's almost impossible to unlock without a lot of effort, but replacing it with a much better one is easy. The photos show that the full cable comes with a bracket but it is NOT included. In any case, you MUST use your own cable. It would be nice if you could only connect a power cord to your computer, but there won't be much more room…

Updated 7/21/2020 Decided to go back instead because I don't know how much work it would take to file down the sharp edges that are almost everywhere! Bought a Tryten Mac Mini Protective Mount Case [#T5425US] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0093HTH2I) instead and am very happy with it. Should have gone with them again as I had already bought 2 of these and was very happy with the brand! Definitely do not recommend this Maclocks MMEN76 to anyone, even if its price is less than $10 or free, because…
