StarTech.com Universal Laptop Lock — One Lock for K-Slot, Nano and Noble Wedge
Laptop lock3 slot types2 m steel cableKeyed
The StarTech.com UNIVK-LAPTOP-LOCK is a universal keyed laptop cable lock that fits the three common security slot types — standard K-Slot (T-bar), Nano and Noble Wedge — for IT teams that secure a mixed fleet of HP, Dell, Lenovo, Microsoft and other devices with one lock model.
A selector dial on the 14 mm lock head switches the tip between the three slot types, so you do not need to know in advance which slot a laptop has. The 2 m cut-resistant carbon steel cable (4.4 mm) loops around a desk leg or fixed object, and the lock engages with a simple push — no key is needed to lock, only to unlock.
What's in the Box
- 1 × universal laptop lock with 2 m cable
- 2 × keys
- 3 × lock spacers
- 1 × hook-and-loop cable strap
- 1 × quick-start guide
What It Means in Practice
- One SKU for the whole office: the dial adapts to K-Slot, Nano or Noble Wedge laptops.
- Push-to-lock means users secure the laptop in one step and need the key only to release it.
- The ball-joint head swivels 360° and pivots 90°, so the cable can leave the laptop in any direction.
- Spacers help the lock seat correctly on thinner or thicker chassis.
- Also works on docks, monitors, printers, small-form-factor PCs and projectors with a matching slot.
What Will Not Work
- Devices with no security slot at all — the lock needs a K-Slot, Nano or Noble Wedge slot.
- Master-key or keyed-alike fleet management — this model ships with its own 2 keys.
- Protection against determined attack with power tools — it is a deterrent against opportunistic theft.
- Combination locking — this is a keyed lock.

How do I know which slot my laptop has?
You don’t need to — the dial switches between K-Slot, Nano and Wedge. If you are unsure whether the laptop has any slot, send us the model.

No. It is push-to-lock; the key is only needed to unlock.
Can several locks share one key?
Not with this model — each lock comes with its own two keys.
Singular Expert Insight · Buyer's Guide
For mixed fleets this is the simplest standard to roll out: one lock, every common slot. If users dock at their desks, you can also lock the dock itself — browse our
docking stations with security slots.
✓ Buy it if you manage laptops with different slot types and want one lock model for all of them.
✕ Skip it if you need master-keyed or keyed-alike locks for central key control.
→ Also consider StarTech.com NANOK-LAPTOP-LOCK if every laptop in the fleet uses a Nano slot.
