Pull-Tight Lockout Cables
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.
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 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.
Steel and stainless steel cables are more durable than nylon cables. Nylon cables won’t conduct electricity, so you can use them on electrical lockouts without worrying about accidental shocks. They’re yellow for visibility.

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.
Nylon cables won’t conduct electricity, so you can use them on electrical lockouts without worrying about accidental shock. They won’t scratch nearby surfaces.
Steel cables are more durable than nylon cables. They have a plastic coating to prevent them from scratching painted or delicate surfaces.

Clamp-On Lockout Cables
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.

Self-Retracting Resettable Combination Cable Locks
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.
