1.0 out of 5 stars Do not buy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, September 6, 2008

By	Dragon Mom "Dragon's Lair" (Royal Oak, MI USA) - See all my reviews

I purchase a Kensington combination cable lock in July for my college-bound student. After receiving the cable, we found that it did not work and exchanged it for another. The new one worked and we gave it no further thought until school started. My daughter has been using the cable for about two weeks now and has experienced some problems with the combination not releasing. Yesterday, as she was preparing to leave for the weekend, she found that the lock would not release. One hour, 3 people and $2.00 in the parking meter later, we decided that a pair of cable cutter would be the answer. I see some reviews on other brands that have experience similiar problems. To avoid future problems of this nature, she purchased a Kensington KEYED cable lock. So now I am out the money for a cable that malfunctioned and it took simple pair of small wire cutter to defeat! I would like to know how this security cable was going to protect the computer from someone with the intent of stealing it. All it did was give us trouble. Spend the extra money and buy a cable lock with a key!

1.0 out of 5 stars Unless you have cable cutters, don't order this lock!, September 8, 2008

By	K. Thompson "K" (Athens, GA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I received this in the mail today, and promptly opened the instruction booklet to try it out. All that I can say is good luck reading the instruction booklet (which has no words, only pictures!). The first thing that I tried to do is change the combination number, but I could not figure out how to use the combination key changer (I couldn't get the lock to rotate), so I called customer support (which is outsourced to another country). After fiddling around with it for a minute, the CS rep determined that I had somehow erroneously changed the number without knowing it, therefore, the lock was now useless because we didn't know the code. He offered to send me a new one. NO WAY!

I'm telling you, if it was that easy for me to change the combination without barely doing anything, there is no way that I would attempt to use this lock to lock my laptop to anything! I would have to pay a locksmith to get it off! If you order this lock (which I don't advise), I strongly recommend that you NOT lock your computer to anything before testing it out. I'm sending mine back for a keyed lock!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars A bit clumsy, but does what it's supposed to., February 23, 2009

By	Keith Gonzalez "Keitan" (Eugene, OR) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

We purchased a number of these for theft deterrents at campus. It is nice to be able to change the combinations with each new set of student workers, but the reach and operation of the unit is a bit of an acquired talent. To lock, set the lock to your combination, insert the t-bar and then try to gently push in the tumbler until you get the alignment right. Then with the tumbler pushed in, spin the combination to lock. Reverse this to unlock. It does take some time and manual dexterity to get used to, but overall we are happy with this product.
