Cable Locks


Secure your laptop from theft with locks.

Description: The vast majority of laptop thefts can be prevented by securing them to a solid structure. For laptops, there are cable locks available for that purpose. They are inexpensive and convenient. Use cable locks anywhere you use your laptop for added assurance against theft. Cable locks attach to your laptop via a special slot found towards the back of your laptop. They are easy to implement and fit in any laptop bag when you are moving with it.

Helpful hint: Pass the cable though something or wrap the cable around something in such a way that the cable and computer can't be moved. Make it hard for the bad guys!
