I think its electronic rather than physical. I *think* - not sure - the
cheap one just blocks off the socket. The TEBARR/X66 (lets just call it
a TX from now on!) is the same as the box I have, AFAICS.

You remove the holding screws from the existing front plate. You unlock
the TX and remove a panel. You screw it to the front of the front plate
using long (supplied) screws - it plugs into the socket at the same
time. You then replace the cover and lock it. In that situation you
cant remove it since without the key you have no access to the screws.

It is electronic - uses a 9v battery that lasts about a year. It has a
socket on the front into which you plug the telephone. While in the
unlocked position, all works normally. In the locked position, it only
allows 3 or 4 digits to be dialled - so emergency calls etc. still work.
I think it blocks operator calls too.
