I'm thinking it's this sort of thing but not specifically. It looks like you insert it into a hole to undo a clip, such as to access the detector you link or to pop open a box to replace the toilet paper in a restaurant toilet or anything where you want something to keep out the kids but don't need full lock security.
Specifically I haven't seen and haven't searched up anything quite like this, but it does have that vibe to it.
