HP Nano Keyed Cable Lock — physical security for thin HP laptops with a Nano slot
Nano slot1.83 m cableKeyedHP original
The HP Nano Keyed Cable Lock (1AJ39AA) secures a laptop, 2-in-1 or thin client that has a Nano security slot to a desk or other fixed object with a 1.83 m (6 ft) vinyl-coated galvanised steel cable, for offices, classrooms and shared spaces where devices are left unattended.
Nano slots are the small, slim security slots used on thin modern HP devices such as EliteBook and Elite x2 models, where a classic Standard T-bar lock no longer fits. The lock head rotates through 360 degrees so you can position the cable however the desk layout needs it.
Before you order: This lock fits Nano security slots only. Check the slot on your laptop: the larger rectangular Standard slot and the wedge-shaped slot need a different lock. If unsure, send us your laptop model.
What's in the Box
- 1 x HP Nano Keyed Cable Lock with 1.83 m cable
- Keys for the lock (included by HP)
- Quick start poster
- Warranty card
What It Means in Practice
- Loop the cable around a desk leg, insert the lock head in the Nano slot and turn the key 90 degrees clockwise to lock.
- The 360-degree head lets the cable leave the laptop at the angle that suits the desk, without bending sharply.
- A simple visible lock deters opportunistic theft in open offices, hot desks, schools and receptions.
- HP lists the lock for devices such as EliteBook 1040 G4, EliteBook x360, Elite x2, Pro x2 and Chromebook 11 G6, as well as newer HP devices with a Nano slot.
What Will Not Work
- Laptops with a Standard (T-bar) or Wedge-shaped slot — the Nano head is smaller and will not lock in those.
- Laptops without any security slot, such as most MacBooks.
- There is no master key; each lock is opened only with its own keys.
- It does not protect the data on the device; use encryption and a screen privacy filter for that.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my laptop has a Nano slot?
A Nano slot is noticeably smaller and slimmer than the classic rectangular Standard slot and is usually marked with a lock icon. Send us your laptop model and we confirm which slot it has.
Does it fit non-HP laptops?
It fits any device with a Nano security slot, but HP only lists HP devices. Ask us before using it on another brand.
Can several locks share one key?
No master-key option is published for this lock. For master-keyed fleets look at the Kensington ClickSafe 2.0 3-in-1 Master Keyed lock.
Singular Expert Insight · Buyer's Guide
Most locking problems we see come from a slot mismatch, so check the slot before ordering. In open offices physical locks are half of the job; a
privacy filter protects what is on the screen.
✓ Buy it if your HP laptop or thin client has a Nano security slot and you want an original HP keyed lock.
✕ Skip it if your laptop has a Standard or Wedge slot, or you need a master-keyed solution for many devices.
→ Also consider the Kensington ClickSafe 2.0 3-in-1 Keyed Laptop Lock if you have a mix of Standard, Nano and Wedge slots.
