Abstract
This invention secures an electrical plug by inserting a locking pin through a hole in the prong(s) of a male plug or through a hole in a female plug and through a corresponding hole in the male or female receptacle that secures the device plugged into the receptacle. The locking pin is secured by a latching system or locking mechanism that limits access to those not authorized. This invention may be used in conjunction with access-control devices that control access to users of appliances such as video game systems, TVs, computers and the like.
