(NEWCASTLE, WA) - Finally there’s a security product that controls who can access your computer that doesn’t require complicated software or encryption that can impede performance or even corrupt your operating system.

The Qualtec PC Power Lock™ is an easy to install "Ignition Switch" that locks into your computer’s power cord to control access by controlling the computer’s power source. The PC Power Lock simply installs into the PC’s power plug using a patented locking clip. Once installed, a key controls the power supply to the computer, thus controlling all access.

The PC Power Lock™ works on ALL PC or Mac desktop and tower computers and features an extra long 6-foot power cord that allows for convenient placement on the desktop next to the computer or includes Velcro so the mechanism can be attached underneath the workstation.

"The PC Power Lock™ is ideal for any application where access to valuable computer data needs to be protected or system access needs to be controlled or restricted," says Darrell Igelmund, Byte Brothers/Qualtec Marketing Manager. "Who should use the PC Power Lock? I see installations ranging from government offices, schools and universities, computer labs, libraries, as well as industrial and commercial workplace users. While equipment theft can be bad, the theft, destruction, or tampering of important data can be devastating."

Other applications include students in dormitories or other shared housing, home office users, or parents who want to restrict access to a home computer.

The PC Power Lock™ includes two keys, the patented retainer clip, and is packaged for retail sales. The product, stock number 15101 is available and ready to ship with a suggested list price of $19.95. Byte Brothers/Qualtec also offers a custom keying option: Master Keyed" where each uses an individual key, yet all units can by operated with a single master key. The custom keying options is available by special order directly from the company.

"Any Qualtec security solution we offer can be completely customized. Customers can now augment an existing security kit, or based on a menu of components, can create their own unique security solution," says Byte Brothers/Qualtec Director of Sales, Gary Torres.

To handle the "customized" product offering, Byte Brothers/Qualtec has moved into a new facility in Newcastle, Washington. "Our new facility gives us the room needed to house the individual components, as well as set up an efficient operation to assemble, package and ship the final product. Whether it’s for two, two-hundred, or two-thousand, we can now configure, stage, and ship most custom orders directly from the new facility – many in as little as 24 hours after we receive them." states Darrell Igelmund, President of Byte Brothers/Qualtec.

To further streamline this program, the company is working to put a complete custom product quotation and ordering section on their newly re-launched web site at www.bytebrothers.com and www.qualtecsecurity.com. The web site will include an easy-to-use menu of security components that guides you through a step-by-step selection process. Customers can specify the quantity and exact accessory components, type and length of security cable, and keying options they want included in a security kit.
