Product Overview

AI-generated summary

For £24.56 ex-VAT, this is a decent “belt-and-braces” cable lock for standard office use—especially if you’re securing laptops on a desk, in a training room, or in a shared workspace where you just need to deter casual grab-and-go theft. The 4‑digit combination is the right kind of convenience for a reseller/admin environment: no keys to lose, and it’s easy to control access with a known code. The vinyl-coated steel also tends to be more office-friendly than bare metal because it’s less likely to scuff desks and equipment when people bump cables.

That said, don’t overestimate what a cable lock can do. It’s not a high-security solution—more of a “make it annoying to steal” measure than a serious barrier against determined attackers. Also, if you’re locking high-value devices in places with frequent theft attempts, you’ll want to think about stronger physical anchoring (or workstation/port locks) rather than relying on a cable lock alone. Buy this if you have lots of desks/borrowed laptops and want low-cost deterrence with simple management; skip it if you need real security assurance or you’ve got users prone to mishandling/remixing combination codes.
