USB port lock pack Alantec WT-BU-01, black, set of 10 locks with master key

Alantec USB port lock pack WT-BU-01 in black is a set of ten mechanical socket covers with one master key intended to block access to standard USB-A ports. The set provides a simple physical barrier that prevents insertion of USB flash drives, peripherals and unauthorized devices into computers, kiosks, point-of-sale terminals and other public-access systems where unrestricted USB access could present a data leakage or security risk.

Advantages

The locks are a low-complexity, maintenance-free solution that requires no software and works independently of the protected device. Each cover fits into a standard rectangular USB-A socket and is removable only with the supplied master key, enabling centralized control of port access. The compact design and black finish allow discrete installation in office, classroom or retail environments while reducing the risk of accidental or intentional connection of external storage or input devices.

Suitable for

• Desktop computers and workstations in offices and public service points
• Kiosks, information terminals and self-service machines
• Point-of-sale systems and payment terminals
• Schools, libraries and other shared computing environments

Key specifications

• Pack contents: 10 USB-A socket covers and 1 master key
• Color: black
• Compatibility: standard rectangular USB-A ports
• Material: durable mechanical components (metal/plastic construction)
• Mounting: pressure-fit into USB-A socket, removable by key only

How to use

Insert each lock into an available USB-A port until it seats flush with the connector housing. To secure the port, ensure the locking element engages; the port remains physically blocked against insertion of devices. To remove a cover, insert the supplied master key into the lock and turn or pull as required to withdraw the cover. Keep the master key in a controlled location to maintain centralized access control. No drivers or configuration on the host device are required.

Usage recommendations

For effective access control, use locks on all exposed USB-A ports in public or semi-public areas and store the master key separately from the protected devices. Periodically inspect locks for wear and replace any damaged units. Combine physical locking with software-based device control where fine-grained permission management is needed.
