Weave the shackle on these padlocks through lockouts on outdoor valves, electrical panels, or other equipment during repairs without the hassle of extra cables or padlocks. To alert others to the maintenance, they have a warning label and come in a variety of striking colors. Assign colors to individuals or functions to follow lockout identification practices. For example, use blue for plumbing and red for electrical. These padlocks help you comply with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 standards for safe lockouts. To make sure equipment remains secure, these padlocks retain the key in the cylinder until the shackle is locked. Because the shackle is flexible, you can also tuck the body out of the way or fit it into tight spaces. However, the shackle is thinner than a standard padlock shackle, so it’s easier to cut. Each padlock opens with a different key and all have random key numbers.

The aluminum body and stainless steel shackle resist corrosion from rain and snow. A plastic cover over the body and a plastic coating on the braided shackle add another layer of protection from the elements and prevent scuffs on nearby surfaces.
