Safety Lockout / Tagout Padlocks

We've been distributing & advising on safety lockout / tagout padlocks for years, supplying the likes of EDF and Network Rail. Due to our specialism in padlocks we're particularly well placed to provide the additional service level that this sector requires compared to general safety and lockout suppliers.

If you are unsure of which lock might be suitable we encourage you to read our guidance article first in the Advice Section.

FAQs

The locks you see in the safety range vary from plastic, brass, aluminium and steel. Here is a summary of the properties of each:

Plastic
Plastic padlocks often are metal underneath but the body and shackle is covered in special types of thermoplastic which are resistant to certain acids, high temperatures and most importantly, they won't spark or conduct electricity. As such these are very popular for many applications which involve electric and combustible liquids.

Aluminium
These are light and often colour coded as it is easy to anodise aluminium into colours. They're also more durable that plastic coated locks especially with heat. Most have been tested from -50 to +340 °F.

Steel & Brass
These locks are similar and often cross over with normal padlocks. However, they have properties which make them usable as safety locks. The Steel Laminated locks for example are made in Germany and can be colour coded with plastic bands, and also masterkeyed in any format over large quantities.

There are a range of labels for safety locks. The plastic locks often have labels on them which can be completed. Also we sell tags that can be attached to hasps or locks. Finally we can laser engrave the lock, This is most popular when we deal with particularly large orders or when you want to ensure the indentification of a lock can't be changed or tampered with. Here you can see how we have laser engraved the keys and lock as part of a large master-keyed set, colour coded red.

Yes. Sometimes, when safety is absolutely paramount, we can make up a batch of locks specifically and ensure non repeat. This is often not necessary since many of the safety locks have such a huge amount of variation that the risk of duplication in one set is very low. It is however something we can do for certain orders.

Yes we can record the locks you have and maintain this database as you buy more and add in the future. We do this for transport customers whereby thousands of locks are distributed over many years and we keep a record of the engraving and key numbers. They are all stored and backed up secured.

Yes most of our range can be keyed different, alike or with a masterkey. If unsure just speak to us and we'll advise which locks have more flexibility in the keying that others.

Lockout Tagout Padlocks

Below are various lockout tagout padlocks and each have their place for applications of petroleum, electrical, marine and so forth. In each we have details, pricing, photos and instructional videos. As best practice, a lockout padlock should retain its key when open, have an insulated plastic cover over the shackle and have many different key differs. The latter makes the chance of two people having the same key extremely unlikely.

However, not everyone needs to the full belt an braces approach and there are many more different sizes and types we supply. ABUS does a particularly well illustrated overview. Click the catalogue thumbnail to view the PDF.
