Customer Reviews

WARNING! This lock can be maliciously reset!
This and similar models are still for sale in stores, I can't believe it!
I've discovered how to purposely scramble the combo from a locked state, so I can believe it would randomly change its combo as well.
Targus tech support said they'd pass on the info to HQ but didn't care to take my contact info.
Unfortunately their new Ultra Max apparently has the same lousy lock design.
I would not buy a combo lock from them until they make fundamental changes.

Lock autonomously decided "You didn't want that combination, anyway."
I used this lock A-OK for years. On Saturday 2008/09/27 I used it fine twice. When I wanted to unlock my notebook computer from the desk the following Monday, the lock acted as if I entered the wrong combination. I'm baffled. Now I have to cut it off. Will my notebook computer ever be rid of the lock dangling from the side? Now I'll look like a computer thief.

Does not work
Bought one today to use on my new HP Laptop. It does not work. The 2 pawls will not spring out far enough to engage so you can pull it right off. If it does barely engage it still has not sprung out so you cannot turn the number dials to another setting.
