With an extra-long shackle, these padlocks fit around oversized hasps and thick chains on outdoor equipment to prevent accidental startup during maintenance. They come in a variety of colors that grab your attention and display a warning label to alert you to locked-out machines. To adhere to lockout identification practices, assign colors to individuals or departments, such as blue for plumbing and red for electrical. Use them with another lockout device to comply with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 standards for safe lockouts. They’re made from materials that resist corrosion caused by rain and snow. Their plastic cover protects the lock body and prevents them from damaging nearby surfaces.

These padlocks don’t let you remove the key from the lock until you close the shackle. This makes sure you properly secure locks before walking away with the key. Choose these locks if you need several locks that open with the same key.

Steel shackles are stronger than stainless steel shackles.

Padlocks with a plastic-coated shackle add a layer of protection against corrosion. They’re less conductive than uncoated shackles, so they’re safer to use when locking out electrical equipment.
