Long shackle: 3 in vertical clearance, twice that of the 1-1/2 in model. This extra clearance helps reach thick or recessed lockout points. This Brady Velocity series pack holds six keyed-different padlocks: each padlock opens with its own key and becomes a worker's personal padlock during machine maintenance. According to Brady, its 1-1/2 in wide aluminum body resists impact and tampering. The 1/4 in diameter steel shackle offers 3 in of vertical clearance, twice that of the SDAL-38ST, useful when the lockout point is deep or the hasp already holds several padlocks. The cylinder retains the key while the padlock is unlocked, which reduces lost keys and unauthorized access.

Features of the 3 in aluminum keyed-different padlocks

• Key retained while the padlock is unlocked.
• Nine colours, sold in packs of 6 to equip six workers.

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, in two packs: the keyed-alike padlock (CAVAL76KA3) Brady SDAL-76ST, pack of 3 and the keyed-alike SDAL-76ST (CAVAL76KA6) Brady SDAL-76ST, pack of 6, useful for access control on a job site, where foremen open containers, site trailers and tool cages with a single key. They must never be used for a worker's personal lockout.

Applications of the 3 in aluminum keyed-different padlocks

The SDAL-76ST is intended for electricians, mechanics and maintenance crews who need to reach a deeper lockout point: the eyelet of a breaker lockout, a valve handle, a disconnect, or a hasp that already holds several padlocks. With the pack of six, each crew member receives a personal padlock, and the nine colours help identify the trade, crew or department. For a shorter 1-1/2 in shackle, see the keyed-different SDAL-38ST (CAVAL38KD6) Brady SDAL-38ST, 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 pass the shackle through the energy-isolating device or the hasp and close the padlock. 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 3 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.

Why choose a 3 in shackle?

The 3 in vertical clearance reaches deep lockout points and leaves room when several padlocks share a hasp. For common devices, the 1-1/2 in shackle of the SDAL-38ST is often enough.

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 (YASF407BG) with an indoor-outdoor grey lens, woven flame-resistant ARC2 gloves (GS13FRNE) with neoprene-coated palm, a Honeywell Everest type 2 class E helmet (TA82) in the MSA Super V type 2 class E design, a Pioneer FR-Tech orange ARC 2 arc-rated vest (V7728) and Honeywell Firmfit 30 dB disposable earplugs (OA1105). 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 labels (CAET11) for identifying locked-out equipment, the lockout (CAC3) for compatible long and wide circuit breakers, and the covers (CAV) for locking out compatible valves. Verify compatibility with the installation and site procedure.
