Just what we needed - prefer the key lock to a combination lock found on other models.

The parts that glue to the hardware are quite small compared to other brands. It really just takes a few minutes to install and then your hardware is secure from the evildoers who want to steal your RAM.

Hopefully, I never have to find out whether these are affective or not, so I can only comment on the concept. You can either tie two things to a stable, heavy object such as a big desk, or you can tie three pieces of hardware together (such as in the picture) and make it a pain in the behind for someone to take all three at once and walk out your door. Of course, none of that matters if the person knows you have the cable and brings a snazzy pair of bolt cutters. I haven't seen a product like this before, so I was thrilled to install it (it took 5 minutes); it's a better deterrent than the more popular kensington slot locks but will leave a gray lock on whatever you put it on, so choose wisely. In the end, as with most inexpensive security devices, it's really about the piece of mind, rather than the effectiveness of the product. If you want more, you can dish out some extra green and get you one of them "MI2" laser systems. Cool.

Hey, my stuff hasn't been stolen yet! So that's a plus.

This little packet is simple. You glue on the 'base' units, slide the strong metal cable through, and lock it up.

I'm not really looking to lock up the computer like Fort Knox, so I cannot really testify to the strength of the cable, but it is pleanty strong to act as a deterent. (If people REALLLY want to steal something, they will)

I have nothing bad to say about this product.

Excellent lock! Kensington builds good stuff.Kensington Desktop Microsaver Universal Computer Key Lock and Cable Security System (64162) I ordered thru ANTOnline though, and I was delivered an "open box" which was missng some parts. I ended up going thru the complete dispute procedure to resolve the issue. ANTOnline did not respond. Amazon refunded my money - Nice job!
