| I work at a school and want to make sure my laptop doesn't "grow legs". It's not the best lock I've ever seen, but it does the job. My laptop is always here when I come back to my desk. |

If you follow the instructions (that is why they are there) this lock will work just fine, I have never had it "mysteriously" change combination on me. There are only two problems with this little lock, the first is, it tends to seize up on occasion, but it comes out after a few seconds (not 5 minutes as mentioned by another reviewer). Also, this lock is fairly easy to change the combo, so if you have a roommate that hates you, or criminals that carry around screwdrivers, you may be in a bit of trouble.
This is a MECHANICAL lock, it does not have a "mind o it's own." |

I have had some problems with Targus laptop locks before (i.e. even I could figure out a combination with some tricks), but they have fixed those issues and it's probably the best that's out there.
Used them in business for years. I'd say that most of the "problems" reported by other reviewers are their own fault. |

| We've bought over 50 of these locks for our computers, speakers, projectors, and document cameras for our high school classroom computer/media carts. They've worked great and are reasonably priced. Amazon has the best price, but only lets you buy 2. |

 "THIS PRODUCT SHOULD BE TAKEN OFF THE MARKET!!!" | 2009-01-23 |

First of all, Targus is aware of the mysterious/magical combination resets and their only suggestion is to cut it off and buy a new lock. This review regards the Defcon CL, the thicker cable security 4 digit combination lock.
This is a DEFECTIVE product that apparently has a design flaw.
The first time it happened, I went through 9700 combinations to find the right one. I'm not doing it again! Fortunately, the lock was not on my laptop. For me, both times, I left the lock with the correct combination (the open position) and when I went to press the button to lock my laptop, it was reset. And the second time, the combination was still 0000 but who knows what it is now.
Cleary, there is a large amount of people with this problem. I had the small, original lock for 3 years and never had a problem but lost the cable so I bought this beefier one but that was a mistake.
If the people from Targus read this, you should refund everyone who has a defective lock or replace it with the original lock.
If the people from Amazon read this, you should stop selling this product. Clearly it is defective and if you're selling this defective product, I should I assume that ALL of the products on your site is defective.
If an attorney is reading this, you should put together a class action lawsuit against Targus.
