Those connections are not used very often, so everybody using that room subsequent to the epoxy suppository would be safer.  I know there would be a temptation to administer the medicine elsewhere, but the lock would serve as a reasonable surrogate.


From the looks of the picture, it would be relatively inexpensive to design a replacement cover for the lower half of the lock, without the access port, or with a port accessible through a key. Of course, the question remains, will the company that produced the lock do that?
