I'm after just 3 of these port locks with a key .... most available are packets of 25 or more.

Yes, I know they can be jimmied open by a determined person, but this is a 'visual deterrent' in an open meeting room.

If you don't need them urgently, Aliexpress has them for $5.

Seeing as the ports aren't in use (why else would you want to lock them), Can you just not patch them to the switch?

That's what I may have to do, thanks.

The ports are live/patched, but in a shared area .... hence preventing use other than those allowed.

Have you ever dealt with end users?

I'd imagine this is a case of if it's a port on the wall that's not connected to a switch, they will plug in to it, then ring IT and demand it be fixed right now as it's not working and they are very important people. If the port is physically locked...
