Premium Padlocks

A premium lockout padlock is a personal lock a worker applies at an isolation point. The premium range uses a 42mm body and offers the widest choice of shackle type, keying arrangement and colour in the range.

Every padlock in the premium range uses a 42mm body. The shackle is either metal or nylon, so check the shackle dimensions against the hasps, isolators and cable lockouts in use across your site.

Metal shackles handle general isolation duty and resist cutting better. Nylon shackles are specified where a non-conductive shackle is required. Check each product’s specification against the isolation point.

Keyed differently gives every padlock a unique key, which is the standard for personal isolation locks. Keyed alike lets one key open a group of padlocks, which suits departmental and equipment lock sets.

Singles suit topping up existing stock or issuing to individual workers. Sets suit kitting out a crew, a contractor induction or a new lockout station in one order. Both come in keyed alike and keyed differently.

A master key opens every padlock in that set. It exists for controlled exception removal, not routine use, and it defeats personal isolation if uncontrolled. Confirm who holds it before the set is issued.

Colour shows at a glance which trade, crew or shift applied a lock where several are fitted to one point. That speeds up the check on who is still working before anyone attempts to restore energy.

All three isolate the same way and differ in specification and cost. Economy suits volume issue and routine replacement. Premium offers the widest option range. Lockwood suits the longest and harshest duty.

Nylon shackles are specified where a non-conductive shackle is required. Check the product specification and your electrical isolation procedure. A padlock holds an isolation. It does not verify one.

Count the isolation points a worker locks on a typical job, since each point needs its own lock, then multiply by crew size. Check whether a set covers that number more economically than ordering singles.
