Notes for choosing brady safety padlock

1. Find the right padlock material type

• Brady nylon padlock features a lightweight nylon body with a steel or nylon lock shackle, ideal for industrial environments. Brady safety padlocks with nylon lock beams are plastic, non-conductive and non-sparking, ideal for electrical and indoor applications;
• Cable padlocks can also be used in smaller Spaces. Flexible lightweight stainless steel cable design is ideal for small Spaces for electrical contractors, maintenance and electricians.

2. Organize hardware by color, engraving, or locking labels

• Different colors – More organizations have benefited from different color locks to help keep the equipment in order. The color-coded locks also tell you at a glance who is still working on the machine, increasing the visibility of the locking process. When internal maintenance teams work with external contractors, some facilities even choose to color locks by location to minimize damage.
• Sculpting – Sculpting is a simple, permanent way to keep everything in order while conveying maintenance status. For example, the facility could choose to enscribe the department name and key code on each lock to make it easier to match the lock and key together.
• Lock tags – Locking tags are especially useful for keeping everything in order and can be quickly updated to accommodate any unexpected changes. LEDS label is made of durable PVC and has a writable surface that accepts pencils, pens or markers for on-the-spot updates.

3. Select the key system that suits your needs

Finding the right key system for the lock tag plan ensures that the right person can use the lock device during maintenance. The following guidelines will help you determine the right choice to meet your unique needs:
• Padlocks with different keys – Each Brady safety padlock has its own unique key. When multiple maintainers need to lock the device, it is ideal to ensure that there are no potential duplicate keys.
• Padlock with the same key – each Bedinron padlock can be opened with the same key. This option is useful when assigning multiple locks to a single employee; This type of lock is typically used when the maintainer is responsible for multiple machines or isolation points. This makes it easier to find the right keys and reduces the number of keys on a key ring.
• Master key padlock – The master key opens all locks, including the same key and different keys. This way, the supervisor can easily remove the lock in case of an emergency. In order for an employee to retain exclusive control, the supervisor key should be kept in a secure location accessible only by the manager.
• Multi-key padlock – The master key opens all locks grouped into two or more master key systems. This option is best suited for applications with large teams that require multiple levels of administrator access. In order for employees to maintain exclusive control, supervisor keys should be kept in a secure location accessible only by management.
