How to remove a stuck 64050 lock.......2006-12-21

My son's 64050 lock also jammed the second time he used it. It was surprisingly easy to remove. I used a pair of scissors to remove the rubber washer between the lock and the computer. Then I could bend the lock away from the computer enough to reach in with a pair of thin wire cutters (from Sears) and snip off the two pins that stick into the slot on the computer. The pins were very soft and easy to cut. With the pins cut the lock rotated 90 degrees and popped off. Total time about 2 minutes. Do not waste your money on this lock.

Lock Jammed after 3 months.......2006-12-15

Bought this lock for my daughters dell in September. Worked fine. She set the lock. Unlocked it a couple of times. Went to unlock it for Thanksgiving, and it no longer worked. Need locksmith of hacksaw to remove from computer.

Not recommended.

Poor design.......2006-08-05

Very difficult to lock and unlock--I have to hold my MacBook Pro on edge to get a grip on the lock while I spin the wheels. Also the mechanism used to set new combinations is a lever that flips very easily. In locking or unlocking the lock, it is all too easy to inadvertently set a new combination.

I have no gripes with the security the device provides, but it is basically unusable. Very frustrating.

No security & difficult to use.......2006-06-25

Not a particularly easy lock to use (combo part rotates freely when not in computer, making it difficult to set the combo). Also changing combo is very easy to do accidently. However this is usually not a problem because it is incredibly easy to figure out the combo. I am not a professional lock picker, and I am able to break the combo without any difficulty (which is a problem with many low quality combo locks, but this design try to avoid it at all).
I've noticed a lot of people have a problem with the lock "spontaneously" changing combinations. It's probably not because the lock is defective. It's probably because they inadvertently changed the combination because the mechanism to change it is so easy to engage.
I would definitely never suggest this product to anyone (unless I really wanted their computer).

Bad lock.......2006-06-12

I bought this lock for my laptop at school. After locking it to my desk, it would not unlock. I couldn't figure out the new combination so I contacted Kensington, who said that they would reimburse me for a locksmith. I ended up opening the part of the lock that stores the cable with a pair of scissors. Once that part was opened I was able to easily remove the cable and unattach the laptop from my desk. If I could do this, any idiot with a pair of scissors and five minutes would have been able to as well.
