The disclosed invention relates to a padlock comprising a U-shaped-shackle. The invention discloses a sleeve that fits tightly, mostly covering or surrounding a portion of the straight portion of the shackle-toe and wherein the sleeve also fits loosely and mostly covering or surrounding a small portion of the U-shaped-shackle-head nearest the shackle-toe. The sleeve being designed to deter a jawed manual bolt-cutting tool from cutting apart the shackle-toe of a padlock that comprises a U-shaped shackle. The sleeve also being designed large enough to be prevented from being pulled through the hole, staple, or link the padlock shackle is secured therein, therefore, mandating the shackle-toe remains in the hole, staple, or link the shackle-toe is secured therein. After cutting the shackle-heel or the shackle-head apart and wherein a portion of the U-shaped shackle-head remains attached to the shackle-toe, the disclosed invention sleeve will remain secured in place on the shackle-toe as any curved portion of the shackle-head will not allow the sleeve to slide off of its position on the shackle-toe, therefore, the padlock remains locked and secured in place.

A non-mechanical-interfacing electronic switch or a mechanical-interfacing electronic switch are controlled to modulate between an active state and an inactive state based on electronic action. The switch includes an aperture defining an opening in a housing, and the opening defines an insertion path. A transmitter transmits a signal to a receiver along a signal path. To control the non-mechanical-interfacing electronic switch, a mechanical lockout device having a protrusion is inserted through the opening of the aperture along the insertion path. To control the mechanical-interfacing electronic switch, a mechanical control part have a protrusion is moveable to interrupt the signal. Methods of locking the non-mechanical-interfacing electronic switch with the mechanical lockout device as well as methods of locking the mechanical control part of the mechanical interfacing electronic switch with the mechanical lockout device are also provided.

A locking system for a utility vault including an I-beam extending across an opening in utility vault, a two-piece lid positioned in the opening over the I-beam, brackets positioned on opposite ends of each piece of the two-piece utility lid for engaging an inside wall surface of the utility vault and the I-beam, and a three-tier locking system positioned at an end of one piece of the two-piece lid to lock the lid to the vault including a L-bolt lock, a padlock and a lockable door on an upper surface of the lid.

The invention is related to construction, namely, discloses a shackle and a locking device comprising said shackle. The technical effect is improving the performance of the device due to a certain design of the shackle. The technical effect is achieved by the fact that the shackle comprises: a first end; a second end, and a plurality of bends between the first end and the second end, thereby forming: a first segment between the first end and a first bend, a second segment between the first bend and a second bend, a third segment between the second bend and a third bend, and a fourth segment between the third bend and the second end, wherein the first segment lies in a first plane and the fourth segment is substantially co-planar with the first segment, and the technical effect is also achieved by design options of the locking device comprising said shackle.

An enclosure for improving padlock security is provided. The enclosure includes a sleeve component that has openings at the left and right for receiving the padlock, cutouts at the top to access the shackle holes and a key slot at the bottom for accessing the padlock. A means for supporting the padlock within the sleeve component creates an empty space between the bottom of the padlock and the bottom of the sleeve component. The sleeve component containing the padlock is inserted into a tubular component. The tubular component has walls forming the tubular component, an opening at the bottom for receiving the sleeve component and padlock, one or more stoppers, capable of contacting the body of the padlock preventing further insertion of the padlock, while allowing the shackle to continue past, two directly opposing openings on the walls of the enclosure, and an opening at the top for accessing the shackle.

A locking assembly for a Kensington-locked enclosure can be simply padlocked for security. The locking assembly includes a first connecting member and a second connecting member. The first connecting member is fixed on a base body of the enclosure, the first connecting member comprises a first tongue piece. The second connecting member is fixed on an upper cover of the enclosure, and the second connecting member comprises a second tongue piece. The first tongue piece and the second tongue piece protrude from an outside of the enclosure and fit each other, and a padlock can pass through the first tongue piece and the second tongue piece to lock the base body and the upper cover together and secure the attachment of the Kensington lock.
