    Coiled Cables

    Straight Cables

    Secure tools and equipment with any style of padlock. Made of strong, flexible steel, this cable is easy to wrap around and through objects. It’s vinyl coated, so it stands up to weather and won’t scratch what it’s wrapped around. With longer length options than cable locks and flexible shackle locks, they are a great fit for securing large equipment such as forklifts or scissor lifts.
    Coiled Cables—Coiled cable returns to a compact coil after use for easy storage and transportation.
    Straight Cables—Straight cable is more flexible than coiled cable.
    Braided—Braided cable is more flexible than wire rope cable. It's also harder to cut through.

    Padlock Not

    Included

    More secure than standard lockout cables, these lockouts clamp to a surface nearby, giving you a fixed point to pull the cable tight. Since the body of the lockout doesn’t hang freely like on standard lockout cables, their cable stays taut. After locking out, you can still tighten these cables, but they won’t loosen until you remove all your padlocks and open them up. Clamp them onto anything that fits between their jaws before weaving the cable around the item you’re locking out. They’ll even secure difficult-to-lock devices, such as ball and butterfly valve handles.
    With holes for multiple padlocks, each person can add their own as they start a job. Use a hasp in the bottom hole to add more padlocks for larger groups. These cables help you comply with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 requirements for locking out controls to prevent injuries. The cable is plastic coated, so it doesn’t scuff up surfaces.
    Swap between the included steel and rubber jaws to fit your application. The steel jaws are more durable and will last longer. The rubber jaws are a better choice for delicate surfaces because they won’t leave scratches.

    Valve Stem Lockouts

    When your valve has a small handle or no handle to secure a lockout onto, these compact lockouts prevent accidental turns. They make sure your line doesn’t start up and cause injuries while repairs are happening downstream. These lockouts help you comply with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 requirements for the control of hazardous energy.

    (Padlock Not Included)

    Cable lockouts are quick to install, so they’re ideal for temporary use. Just place the body over your valve stem and secure by wrapping the cable around your pipe. You can continue pulling the cable tighter after locking. Made of plastic-coated steel, the cable is durable and won’t scuff your pipe. If the body doesn’t fit your stem, use the included rubber inserts to change the diameter. These lockouts have holes for up to 4 padlocks, so each person performing repairs can add their own lock to ensure safety. To add even more padlocks, put a hasp in the largest hole.

    Lock out panel boxes, multiple gate valves, and oversized controls with a pinch. Weave the free end of the cable through the loop and into the lockout clamping hole. Pull the cable taught before giving the lockout a squeeze to keep the cable in place. Secure the lockout with a padlock and lockout tag during maintenance and repair. With multiple padlock holes, each person can attach a padlock before starting their work. They help you comply with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 requirements for the control of power sources and supply lines to prevent injuries. To prevent damaging nearby surfaces, they’re coated in plastic.

    With the push of a button, the flexible cable on these locks cinches around objects—no need to wrap the cable around multiple times to remove slack. Unlock them with a combination that you can reset at any time. When not in use, fully retract the cable into the body for compact, tangle-free storage.

    A cinching collar tightens these locks around items, so you don’t have to wrap excess cable around several times to remove slack. Shorter than other cable locks and lightweight, they’re best for securing small items. The lock is integrated with a flexible cable that has a steel core to wrap around and through the items you’re locking. Unlock them with a combination that you can change at any time.

    Style B

    Style C

    Tighten these cables hassle-free—unlike pinch-point cables, you can pull them tighter even after they’re locked out. They won’t loosen until you remove all your padlocks and open them up. Weave them through and around equipment such as panel boxes, flanges, and multiple gate valves. All are coated in plastic so they don’t scuff up surfaces. They have multiple holes for multiple padlocks, so each person can add their own as they start a job. The holes are large enough to fit lockout hasps, so you can add more padlocks for larger groups. These cables help you comply with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 safety procedures.
    TPU Plastic-Coated Steel Cable—Steel and stainless steel cables are more durable than nylon cables.
    Style B—Style B have a warning label on one side to alert passersby to the maintenance. On the other side, they have a reusable write-on label for recording your name and department.
    Style C—Style C have a wheel you turn to retract the cable. It’s easy to turn, even if you’re wearing gloves. Since the cable retracts into the body, it stays protected and neatly coiled. Plus, excess cable won’t get in your way.

    Adjustable-Length Cable Locks

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Cable Locks. Adjustable-Length Cable Locks.
    For a snug fit around objects of different sizes and shapes, adjust the cinching collar on these locks to lengthen or shorten the cable. Because you can adjust the length, there’s no need to loop the cable around several times. Made of strong, flexible braided steel, the cable easily bends around or through equipment and tools. It’s coated with vinyl, so it stands up to weather and won’t scratch what it’s wrapped around.
    Choose these locks if you need ones that each open with a different key. The attached pin tumbler lock is more difficult to pick than a wafer lock.

    Often used to secure computer equipment, this cable lock has a lock at both ends to secure two pieces of equipment. Each lock fits into the standard built-in female security slot in PCs, laptops, and notebooks. The body is corrosion-resistant stainless steel. The cable has a nylon coating to prevent scratches and add weather resistance. Choose these locks if you need locks that each open with the same key. The included keys are designed to be difficult to duplicate.

    Lockout Cable (Padlock

    Not Included)

    Lockout Cable

    Block access to your entire panel during maintenance and repairs. With these lockouts, you don’t have to spend time locking out individual breakers or fussing with traditional lockout cables. They’re sized to fit common electrical panel widths and adjust for a tight fit to keep people from opening the door. Add a padlock to lock them out and prevent accidental startups during repairs. These lockouts help you comply with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147, which requires electrical circuits to be locked out for safety.
    Lockout Cable—Cable lockouts are more compact than cover lockouts for easy storage. Hook the cable end attachment onto your panel or under the head of an exposed screw—the other end attaches to the opposite side of your panel. Pull the cable tight. You can still tighten the cable further after locking, but it won’t loosen until you remove the padlocks. These lockouts have holes for multiple padlocks and tags, so the team can add their own as they start a job. You won’t be able to open these lockouts until all of the padlocks are removed. To add even more padlocks, use a hasp. The cable on these lockouts is coated in plastic, so it won’t scuff up your panel.

    Self-Retracting Lockout Cables

    Lock out equipment during maintenance and repairs—these flexible cables retract for a tight fit around controls without any slack. Weave them through and around panel boxes, freestanding equipment, gate valves, and other devices. They have multiple padlock holes to keep everyone safe until all maintenance work is done. The holes are large enough to accommodate lockout hasps, so you can add more padlocks for larger groups. These cables help you comply with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 safety procedures.
    They have a loop at the end of the cable that hooks back onto the lock body. Rotate the body to lock the cable in place. Push the button to retract the cable and it will tighten around your equipment. When unlocked, retract the cable into the lock body for tangle-free storage.
    Plastic-Coated Steel Cable—Steel cables are more durable than nylon cables. They have a plastic coating to prevent them from scratching painted or delicate surfaces.

    Secure a single breaker switch with multiple padlocks to keep electricity safely off until the entire team is finished with a maintenance task. The key that unlocks these lockouts is at the end of a 2-ft. cable—wind it through the lock mount and secure by adding a padlock for each person working. The key is released only when all padlocks are removed.
    Less disruptive than locking access to an entire panel, these lockouts isolate a single circuit. Because they're small and don't hold the padlocks, you'll still have room in your breaker box to flip adjacent switches on and off or close the panel door. These lockouts help your organization comply with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147, which requires electrical circuits to be locked out during maintenance to prevent injuries.
    Clamp On—Clamp-on lockouts can be installed on switches with or without through holes, since they clamp onto the surface of the switch.
    Pin In—Pin-in lockouts have two pins that snap into a switch’s through holes. Press a button on the end to open the pins and slide them over a switch.

    Cable Locks

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Cable Locks. Cable Locks .
    Wrap around tools and equipment to prevent theft—no need for a padlock and cable. These locks have a strong, flexible steel cable attached. They’re difficult to pick, since they lock with a pin tumbler. For extra security, they’re also keyed differently, so you can’t open two of these locks with the same key. Their cable is vinyl coated to resist scratching and rusting in the rain.
    5/16" Diameter Cable and 3/8" Diameter Cable—Locks with a 5/16″ or 3/8″ cable diameter are lighter in weight and more flexible than locks with a thicker cable.
    5/8" Diameter Cable—Locks with a 5/8″ cable diameter are stronger and resist cuts better than locks with a thinner cable.
