With the help of our bespoke safety lockout padlocks, your company can eliminate any chances of unwanted approaches and accidents during shutdown and maintenance works, while ensuring that productivity does not stop with the perfect padlock management system.

Application

For secure lockouts, we recommend choosing the right safety lockout padlocks.

These padlocks allow workers to control and protect their people and equipment from accidents and injury.

Besides doors, padlocks are a great way to limit access to areas that require the use of dangerous equipment. If you’re not familiar with a lockout system, it means that an individual can’t work with machinery unless they pass a safety check by a qualified supervisor.

Utility

The benefit of using keyed alike locks is that they can be used to prevent different types of lockout. Here are some utilitarian examples of padlocks across private, industrial and public sectors;

Factors to Consider When Choosing Your Padlocks

Refer to our Padlock Catalogue for choosing the padlock you are looking for. But before, here are some factors to consider before making an order.

● Material
Bronze padlocks are the most common type of padlock. They are made of a hard, corrosion resistant material and they can be easily cut with bolt cutters. Bronze padlocks are good for high-traffic areas.

Steel padlocks are also a popular choice for high-traffic areas because they are crafted of a harder material and are more difficult to cut with bolt cutters. Steel padlocks are more expensive, but they do reduce downtime. Another popular lockout padlock is a laminated padlock. Other materials include; Die Cast, Laminated Brass or Steel, Solid Aluminum, Zinc.

Additionally, check the shackle material since they are often different from the rest of the lock.

● Environment
Choosing the material, size and features of the padlock highly depends on the environment it is going to be used;
● Indoors
● Outdoors
● Harsh industrial spaces
● Keying Type

Based on the application and safety standards at your workplace, define the keying types;
● Keyed Alike
● Keyed Different
● No Cylinder
● Digital
