Mine did not come with a lock, and I did not use one. The mount works just fine, I had no idea you could use a lock!

The lock is to protect your investment in your expensive TV. It makes more difficult for thieves. It is like having a lock on your gate to prevent people from entering your yard. It can be used in a common area where you have visitors. Also you can install it on RV or mobile homes to secure it in place. The lock is not a requirement but necessary on a case by case basis. Hope this answers your question.Thanks.Naresh

The lock attachment piece is very flimsy and seems to only serve as a way to keep someone from easily lifting the tv off of the mount. I installed on both of my tv's but have no confidence that the locks will actually prevent anything from happening. The lock itself is not included with the mount so another piece you must buy separately.

There is a hole in the botton of each door handle. When the doors are pulled together, a padlock will fit through each hole in order to lock the door.

You have to work around it or remove it. The safety factor outweighs the inconvenience and aesthetics.

You have to rotate the the nob counter clockwise to lock it. No code entry is required, So be careful when you close it. Also note the numbers on the buttons are hard to read so you may need a flashlight in low light situations. Good Unit though. Hope this helps.

Not practical to put a lock. It is very thin. Should be used for privacy but not security.

Not sure if a small lock might be available to go through small zipper holes but why would locking it be of any value? If the concern is data being stolen then the password or fingerprint technology is there and otherwise a sharp knife and a snatch and grab are not going to foil a lock...? Sorry, maybe the question has a point but not seeing it?

I haven't tried to lock it from the outside when it's in unlock mode, but it would make sense to me that you'd have to do this from the inside, since the knob that changes it to unlock mode is a mechanical knob.

It's a key lock, takes about the same amount of time as a pad lock. Mine is only locked when I'm not home. I don't have kids.

There should be a ring round intention in the sliding glass door handle. Use a small socket and knock it out of the handle. That's where the lock goes.

Yes you have to lock it every time with key. It will not lock on its own, probably to prevent lockouts.

There is two different types of locks. One goes down with the auction and the other ones are the clamp locks unlock those first

That is a slot and ours had one. It does not lock and/or is not lockable. You could probably drill a hole in the two tabs to get a padlock on it.

Locks and their cables are there to keep honest people honest. Anyone who really wants to take your stuff will figure it out somehow. This type of lock is best used when looped through something sturdy as mentioned in other answers. Be smart with where you place it, and it will provide some small sense of security, or at the very least be very visible to you or others when someone waltzes out with an entire table/chair/laptop combination.

Mine came with no locks, it has the posts that stick through the latch where I can use my own locks. But the current picture looks different than mine (in the area of the latches and locks), it looks like there is a key hole and no posts that stick through the latch.

Yes, you are doing it the right way. You don't need the key to lock it. Just click it twice to be safe.

That's a good question, I wondered the same thing, I did a search at different sites using the model number, what I found out is that the picture is in error, there is a button in the middle of the knob to turn to lock it. It's a really nice lock set. hope i answered your question clearly
