The product from Knopex, manufacturer number 05051030, is a security system for theft protection of portable electronic devices. It is intended for the physical securing of notebooks, PCs, televisions, HiFi systems, fax machines, and similar devices against unauthorized removal, particularly in retail environments, offices, or public spaces. The system consists of a heavy-duty steel strap, which is tensioned between a mounting eyelet on the device and a second eyelet on a fixed object (e.g. desk, shelf), thereby making unauthorized access mechanically difficult. The locking mechanism is achieved via a combination lock, which is attached to the steel strap connection.
Theft protection for mobile devices is the primary purpose of this product. The robust steel strap construction provides high mechanical resistance against tampering attempts, preventing the device from being easily pulled away or removed. The steel strap has a length of approximately 95 cm, which is sufficient to securely fix devices in typical work environments without being excessively long or cumbersome. The mounting is done using two self-adhesive eyelets, which are directly attached to the device and to a fixed object. These eyelets are designed for easy and quick installation, without requiring drilling or additional tools.
Combination lock is the locking technology used. It allows for repeatable and secure locking, as the user can set their own code. The lock is purely mechanical and does not require batteries, ensuring maintenance-free operation.
Compatibility is provided for a wide range of devices that have a flat, clean surface suitable for the self-adhesive eyelets to adhere to. This includes notebooks, PCs, televisions, HiFi systems, and fax machines. The use is not limited to specific brands or models, but depends on the physical possibility of securely attaching the eyelets. The steel strap length of approximately 95 cm allows for flexible adaptation to different distances between the device and the mounting object.
Mounting and installation are done without tools. The two self-adhesive eyelets are applied to the desired surfaces (device and fixed object). The steel strap is threaded through the eyelets and secured with the combination lock. Installation is therefore quick and simple, without requiring additional mounting aids or drilling. The self-adhesive eyelets are designed for permanent attachment, although adhesion may depend on the surface condition (e.g. cleanliness, material).
Daily operation is simple and reliable due to the mechanical design. The device remains fixed in place, and the user can only release it with the correct code. Maintenance is minimal, as there are no electronic components or batteries.
The product is delivered in retail packaging, which includes the steel strap, two self-adhesive mounting eyelets, and a combination lock. The packaging serves for product presentation and protection during transport and storage.
