I think in the interest of having IKEA-style no-words instructions, they have undermined their product. Here’s what I think happened when I tried to reset the code: I put the combo at the preset 0000, then inserted & turned the special reset tool, then put in my new code, then turned the tool back. Then I tried to use the lock, and it didn’t work. Then I noticed that though I had thought I’d turned the tool “60 degrees” as the instructions say, I maybe had not turned it quite enough. So I put the tool in again and turned it just a hair more, and it clicked, at which point I believe the combo was reset to whatever number was in the combo window at that point – not the number I’d put in, nor the factory preset. Since I had been trying to make it work, I have no idea what numbers had ended up on the thing at that point. So now there’s no way to make it work, and no way to reset it.
All because, in the interest of “simplicity” they chose not to put in the instructions the words “Turn back 60 degrees until it clicks.”
So now I have a useless product that I need to return. Nice work, Kensington!

Before going through i read all good and bad reviews.
It’s been three week now, and lock works fine.
Changing the lock code is tricky first time, later on it’s very easy.

Could not get this product to lock properly. The default security code (0000) still worked even after the code was manually changed. And it would not lock securely into the computer. Had to return the product. Would not recommend.

THe only problem I had was with the poorly written instructions. I *finally* figured it out on my own.

After reading the reviews of many locks, I took a gamble and decided to purchase it. I own a Macbook and the fact that the Apple Store was endorsing it made me decide that it must be operator error causing all the horror stories. However, now that I’ve gored the Kensington slot on my notebook, I see differently.
Set-up was awkward, but I was able to set a new combination and it worked fine for two days. I live in a dorm, so I was taking it on and off frequently without difficulty. However, the lock jammed on the third day and I could not get it off for the life of me. I e-mailed Kensington, who got back to me a day and a half later, telling me there was nothing they could do so I better call a locksmith if I want it off. Luckily, I have a tool kit, so I just hacked away at the end until I could pull out the end of the lock and take it off. There is a nice scratch and the lock slot is a little ugly, but it really could have been worse and I save myself a $100 call. I guess it doesn’t say too much for the security of it either, but that’s beside the point.
These locks do seem to have a tendency to jam up, so I’d recommend maybe trying a keyed lock or having another way to secure it. I’m scared to try anything else.
