Kensington Slim N17 2.0 Keyed Dual Laptop Lock (25 Pack) - Master Keyed FT

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

For £1,457.36 ex‑VAT for a 25‑pack, this is one of those “budget isn’t the point, standardisation is” buys. A master‑keyed dual lock makes sense in an office where lots of staff have different laptops and you don’t want IT/security drowning in individual keys and spares. The keyed approach is also genuinely less faff than resettable-style solutions, and you’ll typically see faster deployment when you can hand out the devices without trying to match key sets.

That said, I wouldn’t buy this for a small team, a fleet of one or two device models, or anywhere where the laptops live in supervised areas most of the time. You’re paying for the admin convenience of master keying and for having a lot of locks ready to roll—if you don’t need that scale, the per‑unit value won’t feel as attractive. Also make sure you’re confident your key control process is solid; master keys reduce friction, but they also mean you need tighter governance so you don’t end up with the wrong people holding the right keys.

**Who it’s for:** medium/large UK workplaces, shared desks, roaming laptop users, or any reseller/IT team standardising security across a department. **Who should avoid:** lean teams, low-risk locations, or organisations that can’t commit to key control and deployment discipline.
