To do something similar, I created a dialplan extension that - if
dialled - creates a file on the server. If dialled again, it removes the
file again.
Then, in the context of the phone I check for existence of that file and
if it exists I play a busy signal and hangup. (Of course, unless the
extension to re-enable it is dialled ;) ).
Additionally, I ask the user for a password to lock/unlock it.
