Abstract: It is shown a locking arrangement at a portable device such as a telephone terminal. The device comprises a main body and a movable protruding member such as a flip-lid. The protruding member is switchable between at least a first position and a second position with respect to the main body. The locking arrangement comprises a plunger unit and a lock and release unit with a fixed part and a resilient part. The resilient part is resilient along at least one direction of resilience (X) away from the fixed part. The plunger unit is switchable, along a direction of insertion and retraction, between a disengaged position and an engaged position between the fixed part and the resilient part.
