 Jammed with 6 months 2010-07-01 |
| By D.L.C (Honolulu, Hawaii) |
Like many other people here, my lock jammed. Luckily, I didn't pay for it, my company did. Worked for about 6 months and then just stopped working. I don't think it "magically" reset its own combination. Mechanical locks don't do that. More likely the rotating mechanism that allows the lock to unlock got jammed. My IT guy had to saw it off. Did some damage to the cosmetics of my company laptop.
Simply put: Don't use this product.
Great while it worked. Imagine getting it jammed at a coffee house rather then your office or home. Yikes. |

| They HAVE NOT resolved the issues with this lock. It is pathetically poor. I am grateful for not having put it on the laptop before finding out that it is junk. |
 easy use and nice 2010-02-23 |
| By Maggie (SF) |
| I got this lock from dell site for my computer, and have been use it for 2 years on my previous desktop and another 1.5 years for a laptop which requires unlock everyday. I read some one star review reporting the combination change. I have some classmates got that problem for cheaper locks around 1-2 dollars but mine works perfectly. The lock also seems pretty well constructed, looks nice and easy to use. I hope the combination change is not a common problem, cause mine works really well. |
| DO NOT PURCHASE THIS LOCK! 2010-02-17 |
| By ABK (Seattle, WA) |
I purchased this lock to, obviously, protect my laptop against theft. Unfortunately, this lock failed! My laptop was locked and chained to my desk but the thieves were able to rip the lock right out of my laptop! I found the lock, still chained to my desk, with black plastic bits from my laptop around the locking mechanism. The actual laptop was long gone.
I called Targus to inform them of their faulty product and they said it was only a "theft deterrent" and did not prevent against actual theft. They provide no warranty whatsoever for the lock itself or the stolen products.
This lock is a horrible product and DOES NOT PREVENT AGAINST THEFT. DO NOT PURCHASE. |
| Defcon CL reset itself! 2009-10-13 |
| By nobody |
Like most other reviewers here, my Defcon CL reset itself. I have been using it for 3 years and today I entered my combination and found that it would not unlock. Luckily, the internet revealed many reviews that confirmed that I wasn't crazy, the lock actually resets itself!
I discovered the new random combination using a slice of an aluminum can (search google). Then it finally unlocked and I will never buy another Targus product again!! |
