Additional Advantages of MAKE Security Locks

Compared to other brands, MAKE Security products offer superior safety, reliability, durability, and ease of installation.

Two Locking Mechanisms: Available in both key-lock and combination-lock versions, offering high security levels to meet the needs of mainstream usage scenarios.

Resistance to Forced Removal: The company conducts tensile and shear strength tests on the cables, rivet strength tests on the cable heads and loop ends, and durability tests on reset buttons. These measures effectively withstand attempts to forcibly break the lock, ensuring asset security.

Dual-Axis Design: Certain lock heads feature 360° rotation, while the steel cables rotate 180°, allowing for flexible locking from any angle. This design prevents compatibility issues caused by locking difficulties.

FAQ

Can key-operated laptop locks be customized with different keying systems?

Yes. MAKE Security offers three keying options—keyed-alike, keyed-differently, and master-key systems—to facilitate enterprise-level deployment and management.

Which is better for bulk purchasing: key-operated or combination laptop locks?

Key-operated locks are the preferred choice for bulk purchases by government agencies and enterprises; they support “one-key-for-multiple-locks” management, eliminating issues with forgotten passwords. Combination locks are suitable for individuals or small-scale purchases, as they do not require carrying a key.

Which model is best for a mini laptop?

The Tubular Lock MK816. It features a durable zinc alloy housing, a 7-pin lock core, and a cable made of 7×7 steel wire, compatible with standard 3x7mm security slots. With its compact lock head and 1.8-meter cable, it is ideal for today’s increasingly thin and lightweight laptops.
