The Ergotron 97-735 Security Bracket Kit is an accessory designed to help secure compatible Ergotron device-management charging carts to a wall or floor mounting point. It provides an additional layer of physical security for environments where charging carts need to remain in a designated location.
The kit combines a cart-mounted bracket, a wall/floor bracket, a steel security cable and a resettable combination padlock. Depending on the installation, the cart can be locked directly to the mounting bracket or secured using the cable to allow additional positioning flexibility.
Key Features
- Additional cart security: Helps secure a compatible charging cart to a fixed wall or floor mounting point.
- Flexible locking options: Supports direct locking between the cart bracket and wall/floor bracket or use of the steel security cable.
- Resettable combination padlock: Allows the combination to be personalised using the supplied reset key.
- Steel security cable: Provides an alternative connection when additional movement flexibility is needed.
- Folding wall/floor bracket: Folds flat when not in use, helping keep the mounting area clear.
Designed for Device-Management Environments
The Ergotron 97-735 is intended for compatible charging carts used in offices, classrooms, healthcare facilities and other shared-device environments. By providing a way to secure the cart to a fixed point, the kit helps deter unauthorised movement of equipment between locations.
The combination-lock design provides keyless access for authorised users who know the selected code. The cable option also allows a degree of flexibility when the cart needs to be positioned near its designated mounting point.
Locking and Mounting Options
The kit supports two general locking arrangements. The cart bracket can be connected directly to the wall/floor bracket using the combination padlock, or the steel security cable can be used when a more flexible connection is required.
Installation requires a suitable mounting surface and appropriate fasteners. Select the wall or floor mounting location carefully and follow the manufacturer's installation instructions. The strength of the finished installation depends on the mounting surface, selected fasteners and correct installation.
Compatibility
Ergotron identifies this accessory for compatible device-management charging carts. It is listed as compatible with current Ergotron charging carts, but it is not compatible with earlier Tablet Management Cart versions that use ABS plastic doors, including the affected 24-2*-085 models.
Because cart designs can vary by generation, verify the charging cart's exact model number before ordering. Do not assume compatibility based on the Ergotron brand alone.

DC Supplies Product Note
The Ergotron 97-735 is a security accessory, not a charging cart. Check the exact cart model and generation before purchasing, particularly if the cart belongs to an older Tablet Management Cart series. Installation hardware is included, but the suitability of the mounting surface must be assessed for the intended installation.
