A keyed USB port lock that prevents unauthorized devices from being plugged into computers or equipment. Ideal for kiosks, servers, and public terminals. Should fit most USB ports. I have had issue with some laptop USB ports being too tight (would recommend scaling down by 2% in that case). I created this as a way to prevent users from plugging in the USB devices such as keyboards and bootables to a public facing kiosk. It's been deployed for over a year now and I have had no issues with people removing them. To remove the locks you can use a paperclip bent into a right angle hook (See image below). Easiest way is to bend a paperclip and use flush cutters until it slides into the lock easily. Turning the key 90° in either direction will allow you to pull the lock out. The lock uses friction to stay place so it should be fairly tight. There are no risks to damaging the contact on the USB port due to the orientation.
