Stainless steel padlock
Castell Iso-Lok introduces what it believes to be the world's first 100% stainless steel padlock.
It brings permanent control to all equipment using three-pin socket outlets.
In many circumstances electrical equipment must not be connected to a supply or switched on, for example during maintenance or if the equipment has failed a routine portable appliance test.
In other cases it is the loss of power which must be avoided.
Severe disruption can be caused if a computer network server is unplugged, and stocks of frozen food or laboratory samples may be lost if refrigeration equipment is disconnected, or switched off.
Socket-Safe prevents unauthorised or accidental connection or disconnection of equipment to a power source.
Easily fitted to all standard outlets, it is available in single or twin versions, and in stainless steel for use where there is a risk of corrosion.
"Plugged-in" versions allow for electric cable to enter the enclosure and for plugs to be trapped inside, either turned permanently on or off.
"Unplugged" versions completely enclose a power outlet, denying all access to it.
