Technical specifications of the Master Lock 3KA padlock

Applications of the Master Lock 3KA padlock

For a foreman securing a container, site trailer or tool cage, a site manager controlling access to a storage room or a supervision team that wants to open authorized access points with a single key. This padlock is for access control, never for a worker's personal protection.

Which keying option should I choose?

This padlock is keyed alike: it suits access control, for example for foremen on a job site.

Warning: a keyed-alike padlock must never be used for a worker's personal safety lockout (energy isolation). If someone else holds the same key, they could remove the padlock while the worker is exposed, putting their life at risk. For personal protection, choose a keyed-different padlock. Keyed-alike padlocks are better suited to access control, for example on a job site, so that all foremen can open containers, site trailers and tool cages with a single key.

Care of the Master Lock 3KA padlock

Regularly check that the shackle latches and releases properly and that the key turns without force. Wipe the padlock after exposure to job site dirt or weather. Keep a record of the people who hold a key. Replace a padlock with a bent shackle or a sticking mechanism.
