Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the cylinder insulated on Brady safety padlocks?
The insulated cylinder protects workers from electrical shock when inserting or removing the key during lockout of electrical equipment. This is a critical safety feature for electricians and maintenance personnel working on energized systems.
What does keyed different mean?
Keyed different means each padlock in the set has a unique key — no two locks can be opened by the same key. This is the standard configuration for LOTO programs where each worker must have their own unique lock. Custom keying (keyed alike or master keyed) is available on request.
Why use purple for LOTO?
Color-coded padlocks help identify which department, trade, or individual owns each lock. Purple is commonly assigned to specific trades or contractors in multi-employer LOTO programs. Brady offers safety padlocks in multiple colors for complete color-coding programs.
Does MTE Solutions carry other Brady safety padlock colors?
