To us, security is about more than saving your physical device from theft — it’s also about saving data from falling into the wrong hands, which could be far more costly than simply replacing the device. That’s why our innovative security solutions are tough, easy to use, and compatible with 90% of business devices. Below is a breakdown of what sets our locks apart from the rest, providing you with the industry-leading solutions you’ve come to expect from the pioneer in physical device protection.
We use materials that set the standard in preventing cutting attempts, with the flexibility to anchor our cable locks to a desk, table, or other attachment point. All while safeguarding anchor points from scuffs or damage, thanks to our protective overmolding.
As the pioneer of physical device protection, we have never stopped innovating. Today, we offer custom and standard solutions to provide businesses and consumers options that are as easy to deploy as they are to secure valuable assets.
Kensington’s 5mm Common Keying System enables businesses to leverage a single tubular keying solution for securely managing all of their Kensington locks. The keying system is so small, it makes it even harder for people trying to pick it. But for those who try, our patented Hidden Pin™ technology is designed to defend against common picking techniques, thwarting attempts to pick the lock.
Ever since we invented the laptop lock more than 25 years ago, more people trust Kensington to secure their electronics than any other brand. In fact, we’ve sold enough locks and cables to circle the globe twice. To us, security is about more than saving your physical device from theft — it’s also about saving data from falling into the wrong hands, which could be far more costly than simply replacing the device. That’s why our security solutions are tough, innovative, and easy to use.
Custom solutions include Master Keyed, Supervisor Keyed, and Liked Keyed options.
Standard solutions include Keyed Different locks; as well as Serialized, and Resettable combination locks.
Resettable combination locks offer up to 10,000 possible combination codes that can be selected by the user, making the codes more personalized and easily remembered.
Serialized combination locks, a convenient solution for large lock deployments, are supplied with a serial number etched on the lock head (similar to serialized keyed locks), along with a preset combination code printed on a sticker that is included in the packaging.
With a combination of precision engineering, quality materials — including aircraft-grade carbon steel — and device compatibility, Kensington is proud to be a market leader in security solutions.
At Kensington we believe in pushing our products to the limits, to ensure they not only meet industry standards, but that they exceed our own expectations. Below are some of the tests we perform to ensure you receive the very best security products.

The two most used locking options are our traditional keyed locks and combination locks, which are compatible with more than 90% of laptops, desktops, projectors, monitors, and printers from all major manufacturers.
For light and thin laptops and tablets that are too slim for a standard lock slot, Kensington has designed a range of locks built to our tough standards that fit perfectly to secure these ultralight and mobile devices.
The Kensington Slot is the standard slot that can be paired with a standard security cable lock. Also known as the K-Slot, this device locking option can be used on most brands of laptops, desktops, monitors, and other devices.
Not all laptop locks are universal. However, our ClickSafe Combination Laptop Lock fits standard T-bar, nano, or wedge-shaped laptop security slots, regardless of brand or generation.
There are different types of laptops locks depending of the security slot type (Nano, Standard or Wedge-shaped) and lock type (Combination or keyed). Older technology like T-bar or standard locks required the user to align the lock slot with the T shaped cleat on the locking head and the turn the key to lock or unlock. As devices get thinner and lighter locks have evolved, with the introduction of nano and wedge-shaped slots the new locking mechanisms opens the locking cleats inside the slot to lock and close them to unlock. With keyed solutions users must have the correct key to actuate the locks and with combination locks the user must first set the correct combination on the dials before pushing a lever to engage or disengage.
Laptop locks are the first line of defense against device theft. They engage on the lock slot with one purpose, to lock the device from an anchor point designed to withstand pulling, tension, cut, humidity and more. Kensington locks use materials that set the standard in preventing cutting attempts, with the flexibility to anchor our cable locks to a desk, table, or other attachment point and with strong keyed or combination lock heads to satisfy every user needs.
