FAQs
What is the main purpose of the Lindy SD Port Blockers?
Their main purpose is to physically block SD card slots, serving as a visual deterrent against unauthorized access and preventing data copying or virus insertion.

How do I remove an SD Port Blocker?

What material are the blockers made from?
The blockers are made from durable Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS).
What is included in the standard pack?

The Lindy SD Port Blockers come with a 2-year warranty.
Do these blockers offer electronic security?
No, these blockers offer physical and visual security only. They do not provide any form of electronic monitoring or access control.
Troubleshooting
Blocker does not stay in the SD port
Ensure the SD port is recessed as described. If the port is not recessed, the blocker may not achieve a secure fit. Try a different device with a recessed port.
Key does not unlock the blocker
Confirm you are using the correct key for the specific blocker. If using multiple colored sets, ensure the key matches the color of the lock. Gently wiggle the key while turning.
Blocker feels too tight or difficult to insert
Ensure you are aligning the blocker correctly with the slot. Do not force the blocker; it should insert smoothly. If resistance is met, check for any obstructions in the port or try a different blocker.
Lost the key
If you have lost the key for a specific lock, that lock can no longer be removed without potentially damaging the port or blocker. Purchase a new set that includes a key, or a pack of additional locks if you still have a working key.
