DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCTFeb 14, 2006
By ED Chasser As has been mentioned in several of the reviews for this product, the lock has a tendency to "forget" the combination you have set. On THREE occasions, I had to start at 000 and try each combination one by one until I reached the new "mystery" combination that the lock had set by itself.
If the manufacturer has already admitted this defect, Amazon should not carry this product.

Painful to useJan 29, 2004
By Vinay Athma * Took me 10 mins to figure out how it works. Not a very good design.* It is easy to lock it so that the combination indicator/arrow points downwards - which means you cannot see the combination to set to so that you can unlock it. If you land up in this situation, the only way is to lift the laptop along with the lock and set the combination to unlock the lock - while you are lifting the laptop. I know - my second observation is hard to understand unless you actually experience it. Dump this Kensington lock. Instead, go with the Targus DEFCON CL Cable Combination Lock.

bad, bad..Nov 10, 2005
By Max Elman Somehow, the combo got changed on mine, making for an interesting afternoon with a wire-cutters and then a locksmith.. Thankfully, Kensington paid me back, after saying that this problem came up a decent amount with this model... no good..

Not A Secure Lock - Read How I Removed ItJan 15, 2006
By Milo
"Milo"
I bought the Kensington ComboSaver to secure my laptop at work. The product was easy to use and the combo easy to change. I used it for about a week, and then needed to change the combination. I set the correct combo, flipped the lever, set the new combo, and flipped the lever back. I then locked my notebook as usual. At the end of the day, I set the new combo and the lock would not unlock. I set the old combo and that didn't work either. Maybe I did something wrong?
The kicker is that I got some regular wire cutters and was able to pretty easily cut through the security cable, nipping at it bit by bit for a few minutes. I was shocked it was that easy. Next, to detach the lock from my laptop I used a regular battery powered drill with a regular drill bit and drilled through the end of the lock. Within just 5 minutes the end of the lock came off and using some needle nose pliers I pulled of each of the rings. Voila!
