StarTech.com Nano Laptop Cable Lock — Keyed, 2 m, for Nano Security Slots
Laptop lockNano slot2 m steel cableKeyed
The StarTech.com NANOK-LAPTOP-LOCK is a keyed cable lock for laptops with a Nano security slot, for businesses that need to secure thin notebooks, 2-in-1s and Chromebooks against opportunistic theft in offices, classrooms and public areas.
Nano slots are much smaller than the classic K-Slot and appear on many current ultra-thin laptops — StarTech.com names HP EliteBook, Lenovo ThinkPad X1, Chromebooks and 2-in-1s. The lock head has an off-centre tip so a slim laptop still lies flat on the desk, and a ball joint lets the 2 m steel cable swivel 360° and pivot 90°.
Before you order: This lock fits the Nano security slot only. It will not lock into a standard K-Slot (T-bar) or a Dell/Noble wedge slot. If you are not sure which slot your laptop has, send us the model — or choose a 3-in-1 universal lock.
What's in the Box
- 1 × Nano laptop cable lock with 2 m cable
- 2 × keys

What It Means in Practice
- Loop the cable around a desk leg, insert the head in the Nano slot and push — it locks without the key.
- The off-centre tip keeps thin laptops flat on the desk.
- A spacer prevents the lock from scuffing the laptop chassis.
- Works on any device with a Nano slot, not only laptops.
What Will Not Work
- Standard K-Slot (T-bar) laptops, docks or monitors.
- Dell/Noble wedge-shaped slots.
- Devices with no security slot.
- Central key control — each lock ships with its own 2 keys (no master key).

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I recognise a Nano slot?
It is a small, narrow slot — noticeably smaller than the classic rectangular K-Slot. Send us the laptop model if unsure.
Do I need the key to lock it?
No. Push to lock; the key is only needed to release it.
Can one key open several locks?
No, each lock has its own two keys.
