Safety Padlock Importance

• Safety Padlocks are an important starting point for any locking process; The safety integrity of the lockout tagout procedure lies in the safety padlock; It is important to ensure that the padlock can only be removed by the person using it or by an unauthorized supervisor.
• Safety padlock provided by LDES reduces the risk of duplicate unauthorized keys entering circulation. We have achieved the following goals:
• Each padlock is equipped with 1 or 2 keys (distinguished by alike and different series).
• Only we At LEDS provide replacement keys.
• The key cannot be removed with the padlock open.
• We are experienced in providing custom security padlocks. The company team can be equipped with padlock system according to your exact requirements. For example, we could create a padlock system in which each worker has more than one padlock that is opened with the same key but unique to each person.

LOTO Padlock Keying Options

• LOTO padlock of LEDS has different key options, namely: keyed different, keyed alike and master key.
• Keyed different series each padlock is equipped with 2 keys (1 can be optional). Each safety padlock has a unique key, and the lock should not open to each other, meaning that the key should not open any other lock.
• Keyed alike series with 1 key per padlock (more keys optional). The keyed alike padlock series allows all padlocks to be opened with a single key, i.e. the padlock has the same lock core, making it easy for authorized personnel to carry a single key with multiple padlocks.
• LOTO padlock with a master key has a different lock core, just like the keyed different padlock, except that the padlock kit includes a master key that unlocks all padlocks in the padlock set, allowing the master or superior to unlock the padlock in an emergency. The master keyed series is divided into the alike master series and the different master series.

The difference between safety padlocks and ordinary padlocks

• Since safety padlock is nominally-different from a normal padlock, and its natural use is different in many ways, how is it different from a normal padlock?
• The purpose of use is quite different: an LOTO padlock serves as a warning but is not intended to prevent theft, as a conventional padlock does, but it should be noted that while a padlock is not intended to prevent theft, its initiative is more important than a conventional padlock;
• When users use durable safety padlocks, the production materials are also quite different: conventional padlocks are made of metal materials and thus provide good durability. The production material of safety padlock is mainly engineering plastics. Although this kind of material in hardness and metal can not hard, but it has better corrosion resistance in use, can make it have longer service life in use, in use process also have greater convenience, of course, different manufacturers also has some differences, for its material for raw materials, as well as the quality difference;
• The lock beam of the safety padlock can't spring open automatically and has the function of keeping keys, while the ordinary padlock is just the opposite.
• A common padlock is generally a lock with a key, while a LOTO padlock can be equipped with multiple keys. As mentioned above, the padlock can be equipped with alike key, different key and master key to facilitate enterprise management.
