Choosing a cable lockout

  • Reach: measure the distance around the handwheel, handle or group of points you need to lock out, then choose a cable long enough to loop through with a little to spare. Lengths here run from about 0.9m up to 4.5m.
  • Adjustable or retractable: adjustable cables are sized to the job and locked off. The retractable models are listed at 2.7m and draw the cable back in when not in use.
  • Core material: the retractable models come with a nylon core (yellow) or a steel core (red). Master Lock describes steel core as the heavy duty option and nylon as the lighter one.
  • Padlocks: a cable lockout is locked off with a padlock, so match it to your lockout padlocks. See our padlocks range.

Always check the data sheet. Cable length, padlock capacity and core material vary by model. Check the manufacturer's data sheet against your isolation points and your site lockout procedure before you buy.

Cable lockout questions

What is a cable lockout used for?

A cable lockout uses a flexible cable to lock out valve handwheels, large or irregular equipment, or multiple isolation points that a standard hasp or rigid lockout device can't secure. The cable is looped through or around the points and locked off with a padlock.

What is the difference between adjustable and retractable cable lockouts?

In this range the adjustable cable lockouts are the 4mm x 4.5m cable and the 3ft and 6ft cable devices. The retractable lockouts are 2.7m x 3.3mm and draw the cable back in when not in use. Check the data sheet for how each one locks off.

Should I choose a nylon core or a steel core cable?

The retractable lockouts come with a yellow nylon core or a red steel core cable. Master Lock describes steel core as the heavy duty option and nylon core as the lighter one. Match the core to the duty and to your lockout procedure.

Can I replace the cable on a retractable lockout?

We list a Master Lock replacement steel core cable for the S856, 2.7m x 3.3mm. For other replacement cables, call us with the model number and we will check what is available.

Is there a valve-specific cable lockout?

Yes, the Master Lock Butterfly Valve Lockout with Cable is listed in this range. For other valve types, call us or browse the wider lockout tagout range.

Do I need to buy padlocks separately?

Cable lockouts are locked off with a padlock. Check each listing for what is supplied, and see our padlocks range for lockout padlocks. If you are building a lockout kit, give us a call and we will help you match the parts.
