This item is not stocked: allow 10 to 13 days for delivery.

Short shackle: 1-1/2 in vertical clearance. The 3 in shackle model offers twice the space beneath the shackle. This Brady Velocity series pack holds six keyed-different padlocks: each padlock opens with its own key, which makes it a worker's personal padlock during machine maintenance. The padlock must be used within a complete hazardous-energy control procedure. According to Brady, the 1-1/2 in wide aluminum body resists impact and tampering; it carries a 1/4 in diameter steel shackle with 1-1/2 in of vertical clearance. The cylinder retains the key while the padlock is unlocked, which reduces lost keys and unauthorized access.

Choosing keying and controlling keys

Different keys alone do not prove exclusive keying across the entire facility. For personal protection, assign and identify each padlock under the procedure, control every copy of its key and check for duplicate key codes among padlocks in service. The padlock supplements the isolation, stored-energy control and verification required by the procedure; it does not replace these steps.

This model is also available keyed alike: the keyed-alike padlock (CAVAL38KA3) Brady SDAL-38ST, pack of 3, useful for access control on a job site, where foremen open containers, site trailers and tool cages with a single key. It must never be used for a worker's personal lockout.

Applications of the 1.5 in aluminum keyed-different padlocks

The pack of six SDAL-38ST padlocks equips a crew of maintenance workers, electricians or mechanics who lock out a disconnect, a circuit breaker, a plug or a valve with the appropriate device, or who each apply their padlock to a hasp when several workers service the same equipment. The colour makes it easy to assign padlocks by trade, crew or department. For a longer 3 in shackle, see the keyed-different SDAL-76ST (CAVAL76KD6) Brady SDAL-76ST, pack of 6. Follow the facility's written lockout program.

Inspecting the cylinder and shackle

Give each worker a padlock and its key. Shut down the equipment and isolate the energy source according to your written procedure, then place your personal padlock on the energy-isolating device or on the hasp. Keep the key with you throughout the job and identify the padlock with a lockout tag. Keep the cylinder clean and take out of service a padlock whose shackle is bent or that does not close properly.

FAQ about the 1.5 in aluminum keyed-different padlocks

What does keyed different mean?

Each padlock opens with its own key. The six padlocks in the pack therefore have six different keys, one per worker.

What are the shackle dimensions?

The steel shackle is 1/4 in (0.64 cm) in diameter, with 1-1/2 in (3.81 cm) of vertical clearance and 4/5 in (2.03 cm) of horizontal clearance.

Can it be used in the cold or near a heat source?

Confirm the service temperature range for the ordered configuration before use in cold or hot conditions; the consulted documents do not all state the same limit.

Can several padlocks be applied to the same equipment?

Yes, with a hasp: each worker applies his or her own padlock, and the equipment stays locked until the last padlock is removed.

How is the pack sold?

In packs of 6 padlocks of the same colour. This item is not stocked: allow 10 to 13 days for delivery.

Suggestions for the lockout workstation

Based on task-specific risks, consider 3M SecureFit 400 series safety glasses (YASF401BG) with a clear anti-fog lens, ParaActiv Pro gloves (GSKGPXNE) that protect against electric arcs, an MSA Super V type 2 class E hardhat (TA82), a Pioneer FR-Tech orange 7 oz arc 2 flame-resistant shirt (V130) and Howard Leight 33 dB corded earplugs (OA1100C). PPE selection depends on hazards and the procedure; the listed items do not authorize energized work.

Under “Accessories” at the bottom of the page. Looking for complementary equipment? Consider the box (CAEB) in red for group lockout under the site procedure, the labels (CAET9) for maintenance identification and do-not-operate marking, and the lockout (CAC2) in the double design for compatible miniature circuit breakers. Verify compatibility with the installation and site procedure.
