Padlocks

Padlocks — Safety, Brass & High-Security Padlocks for Industrial & Trade Use

AIMS Industrial stocks a comprehensive range of padlocks for workplace security, lockout tagout (LOTO) safety programs, and general access control. Our range from Master Lock and Brady covers thermoplastic safety padlocks, brass body padlocks, shrouded hardened shackle padlocks, hidden shackle padlocks, and adjustable shackle models — meeting the security and safety requirements of industrial facilities, warehouses, and critical infrastructure sites across Australia.

Padlock Types & Applications

• Safety Lockout Padlocks: Master Lock 410 Series thermoplastic safety padlocks are the industry standard for LOTO programs — available in multiple body colours for energy source identification, with non-conductive bodies and corrosion-resistant shackles for electrical, chemical, and outdoor applications.
• Brass Padlocks: Master Lock Fortress brass body padlocks and 40mm brass padlocks provide weather-resistant general security for gates, sheds, storage lockers, and light industrial access control — traditional brass construction resists corrosion in outdoor and humid environments.
• Shrouded Shackle Padlocks: Master Lock 40mm brass padlocks with hardened steel shrouded shackles protect the shackle from bolt-cutter attack — the recessed shroud limits cutting tool access for higher-security applications on toolboxes, trailers, and site equipment.
• Hidden Shackle Padlocks: Master Lock 73mm solid steel flat back padlocks with hidden shackle design provide maximum cut, saw, and pry resistance — engineered for high-security applications where visible shackle attacks are a specific threat.
• Adjustable Shackle Padlocks: Master Lock 1950DAU 50mm diamond brass padlocks with adjustable shackle accommodate a range of hasp, chain, and bar configurations without requiring multiple padlock sizes — versatile for varied site and access point applications.
• Brady Keyed-Alike Safety Padlocks: Brady brass safety padlocks in keyed-alike (KA) configurations allow multiple padlocks to be operated by a single key — simplifying key management for supervisors and safety officers in large LOTO programs.

Padlock Selection & LOTO Compliance

• Safety Padlock Colour Coding: Australian LOTO procedures typically assign individual padlock colours by trade or energy type — Master Lock 410 Series is available in red, blue, yellow, orange, green, and purple to support multi-trade and multi-energy isolation programs.
• Shackle Length & Clearance: Match shackle length to the hasp or chain aperture — short shackle for hasp locks; long shackle for chain, gate bar, and cable applications. Master Lock adjustable shackle models cover both short and long shackle requirements in a single product.
• Keyed-Different vs. Keyed-Alike: Keyed-different padlocks are standard for individual LOTO where each worker controls only their own isolation; keyed-alike sets are used in supervisor override and masterkey systems — select appropriate keying based on your site LOTO procedure.
• Corrosion Resistance: For outdoor, marine, or chemical environments, specify Master Lock padlocks with brass or stainless bodies and boron-hardened shackles — standard carbon steel shackles corrode rapidly in wet and chemically aggressive environments, jamming locking mechanisms over time.
