ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a security mechanism for electronics enclosures such as network interface units which permits access by customers and craftspersons. A bracket is mounted to the cover of the enclosure. The bracket includes two apertures, one for receiving a security screw, and the other for receiving an ordinary screw which fastens the cover to the enclosure. The bracket also includes a cavity which accommodates the shackle of a padlock so that the ordinary screw can be covered and access prevented. Craftspersons can override the padlock by loosening the security screw and moving the bracket until the padlock is removed from the cavity.
