No, this specific pack (product code 40479) contains 10 SD port blockers without keys. A separate pack is available which includes keys.
What material are the blockers made from?
They are made from Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), a durable plastic.
On which type of ports are these blockers most effective?
These blockers are most effective on recessed SD card ports.
Can these blockers be used on any SD card slot?
They are designed for standard SD card slots, but their effectiveness is primarily on recessed ports.
How do I remove a blocker once it's inserted?
To remove, plug the 'key' back into the 'lock' part of the assembly within the slot and release the latch.

Lindy provides a 2-year warranty on this product.
What are the dimensions of a single blocker?

Troubleshooting
Blocker is difficult to insert
Ensure you are using a standard recessed SD card slot. Check for any debris or obstructions within the slot before attempting to insert the blocker.
Blocker does not seem secure
Make sure the blocker is fully inserted until it latches. If it feels loose, try removing and re-inserting it carefully.
Blocker is stuck and cannot be removed
Ensure you are using the correct procedure for removal: re-insert the 'key' part into the 'lock' part and release the latch. If the key is lost (for packs that include them), you may need to carefully pry the blocker out, potentially damaging the slot.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Provides a simple yet effective physical security measure for SD card slots.
- Helps protect systems from unauthorized data exfiltration and malware introduction.
- Easy to install and remove with the integrated locking mechanism.
- Durable construction ensures longevity in IT environments.
- The pack of 10 offers good value for securing multiple workstations.
Cons
- This pack does not include keys, meaning the blockers are for permanent or long-term use unless a separate key is acquired.
- Only effective on recessed SD card slots, not all types of ports.
- Limited to securing only SD card slots.
- The small size might make them easy to misplace if not stored carefully.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To install, simply align the 'keylock' assembly with the SD card slot on your device. Push the assembly into the slot until you hear or feel a click, indicating it is secured. To remove, re-insert the 'key' part of the assembly into the 'lock' part and release the latch.
Compatibility: These port blockers are designed specifically for standard SD card slots. They are most effective when used with recessed SD ports, where the slot is slightly sunk into the device's casing.
Care: The Lindy SD Port Blockers are made from durable ABS plastic. To clean, wipe gently with a dry or slightly damp, soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the plastic material. Store the blockers in a safe place when not in use to prevent loss.
