Overview
The Ergotron Lockable Tablet Mount, part number 45-460-026, is a silver tablet holder designed to secure a compatible tablet to a separately purchased VESA-compatible mounting arm or stand. Its mechanical locking mechanism provides theft deterrence in shared or publicly accessible environments.
The adjustable cradle accommodates a range of tablet dimensions, including compatible devices with protective cases. Its mounting design supports both portrait and landscape orientations when used with a compatible mounting system that provides the necessary rotation adjustment.
Tablet Compatibility and Fit
The mount is designed for tablets with typical screen sizes between 7.9 and 13 inches. Compatibility depends on the tablet's physical dimensions, thickness, and weight rather than screen size alone.
The allowable tablet dimensions are 13.5–22 cm in one direction and 20–30.6 cm in the other, with a maximum tablet depth of 2.3 cm. The supported tablet weight must not exceed 2.3 kg.
Sliding brackets and adjustable contact points accommodate compatible tablet sizes while keeping important controls and connection points accessible. Check the tablet's dimensions with its case fitted before installation.
Locking Mechanism and Accessibility
The mechanical lock helps deter unauthorized removal of the tablet from its cradle. The design also provides access to tablet power buttons, charging connections, USB ports, HDMI connections, and docking connectors where their locations are compatible with the holder's adjustable contact points.
The tablet can be removed from the cradle when the lock is disengaged with the appropriate key. This allows authorized users to remove the device when necessary while retaining a locking mechanism for unattended use.
Mounting Interface
The holder attaches to a compatible mounting arm or stand through a VESA MIS-D interface supporting 75 × 75 mm and 100 × 100 mm hole patterns.
The tablet mount is an accessory rather than a complete arm or stand. The separately purchased mounting system must support the tablet mount and provide the rotation capability required to align the tablet correctly in portrait or landscape orientation.
Key Features
- Mechanical locking: Helps deter theft in shared workspaces and publicly accessible installations.

- Accessible controls and ports: Adjustable contact points help preserve access to buttons and connections.

Applications
The lockable tablet holder can be used in information kiosks, public-facing digital signage, interactive ordering stations, reception areas, healthcare environments, and shared workstations where tablets need to remain mounted and accessible.
DC Supplies Product Note
Before ordering, compare the tablet's actual dimensions and thickness with the holder's permitted range, including any protective case. Also confirm that the existing arm or stand has a compatible VESA interface and supports rotation. The tablet mounting cradle does not itself provide the complete arm or stand.
