These padlock-style seals offer a compact, tamper-evident solution for utility meters, switches, valves, vending machines, keys, medical cabinets and other controlled access points. Their tough plastic body and stainless steel wire shackle install easily and clearly show that an access point has been sealed. The scored wire makes removal easier for an authorized person, and each seal's consecutive serial number provides traceability and accountability. They come in four colours, yellow, green, red and blue, all at the same price, to tell departments, inspection status or access levels apart at a glance. Each case holds 1000 seals of a single colour.

Padlock seal applications

These seals suit inspection, maintenance and building security programs where quick visual identification matters: meters, switches, valves, vending machines, keys and cabinets. By alternating colours from one inspection to the next, you can see right away whether a device was checked during the last round. To seal a trailer door, a bag or a wider opening, see the pull-tight plastic security seals, 13 in (EPTSSER13).

Seal technical specifications

Applying and checking padlock seals

Thread the steel wire through the closure point (meter screw, valve handle, cabinet hasp), then close it into the seal body until it locks. Record the seal number and colour in the inspection log. At the next visit, check that the seal is intact and its number matches. A removed seal cannot be reused.
