A staple is connected to the box body and the staple extends through the aperture in the door of the control box. A first lockout hinge part has a first lockout hinge part padlock hole. A second lockout hinge part has a second lockout hinge part padlock hole. The first lockout hinge part and the second lockout hinge part are position together to form a padlock pocket. A first padlock is positioned and locked in the staple. The first padlock is positioned in said padlock pocket and covered by said first lockout hinge part and said second lockout hinge part. A second padlock is positioned in the first lockout hinge part padlock hole and in said second lockout hinge part padlock hole.
Ladder latch
A lock includes a pair of spaced apart parallel bolts connected by a plate extending between the bolts. A slot, formed in a hinged structure, such as a gate, extends from a free edge of the structure (an edge opposite a hinged edge) to an end point at a determined distance from the free edge. The plate is received in the slot. Each bolt is located on an opposite side of the hinged structure, when the plate is received in the slot. The slot defines a range of sliding motion of the plate and bolts.
Outdoor electrical cabinet and method of construction
Method and apparatus for outdoor electrical cabinet adapted for installation in the field comprising: a rectangular base member comprising a plurality of pegs for positioning and retaining four rounded corner steel tube post members for supporting hardware for installing side panels and swinging hinged, lockable doors, and a top member resting on the side panels and secured in place with caps onto the tube post members.
Door hasp lock and associated method
A door hasp lock includes a first lock plate having a first flange and a first shield. A second lock plate is detachably engaged with the first lock plate and has a second flange detachably engaged with the first flange. The second lock plate has a third flange. The first lock plate and the second lock plate are engaged and disengaged when disposed at an operating locked state and a non-operating unlocked state, respectively. The third flange is spaced apart from the first flange and the second flange while the door hasp lock is disposed at both the operating locked state as well as the non-operating unlocked state. The third flange may be attached to either the first lock plate or second lock plate and has at least one feature that permits the third flange to break away from the second lock plate when tampered by an unauthorized user.
Locking Device
A door locking device including a non-tethered latch having two or more elongate shafts extending in a downward direction from lateral portions of the latch, the shafts being oriented perpendicular to one another. The latch also includes a curved handle protruding from the top of the latch. The latch is configured to mate with locking plates configured to be mounted to a door and a door frame or wall adjacent to where the door opens. A lower end of at least one of the vertical elongate shafts of the latch is made of a flexible material and is wedge-shaped, having a shelf at the top of the wedge that is configured to engage the bottom edge of the respective locking plate to which it mates, at least temporarily locking the latch and making it more difficult to disengage for an unwanted intruder seeking to enter a classroom.
Latching device for pad-mounted transformers and other similar equipment
An improved latching device that secures a lift-style hood is described with inherent properties for providing increased accessibility, functionality, stability, security and safety as compared to traditional designs.
Lockout box
The invention relates to a lockout box for locking in objects comprising an upwardly open container; and a cover that is pivotably movably fastened to the container via a joint between a closed position and an open position, wherein the cover is provided with a carry handle for the lockout box at its upper side; wherein a plurality of securing openings are provided in the cover and in the container for the attachment of a plurality of locking elements in order to fix the cover to the container in the closed position; and wherein a closure is provided that enables a carrying of the lockout box at the carry handle in the closed position even when locking elements are not hung in. The cover is linearly displaceably attached to the joint via an adjustment mechanism between a retracted position and an extended position. The closure comprises that, at the side disposed opposite the joint, the cover has a closure part having an engagement section that engages into a closure receiver of the container in the closed position when the cover adopts the retracted position, with the engagement being released when the cover adopts the extended position. The engagement section and the closure receiver are configured such that, in the closed position, they prevent a displacement of the cover from the retracted position into the extended position by means of a form fit when the cover is raised with respect to the container.
Cable Lockout Device
A cable lockout device includes a housing receiving a cable in which the cable forms a loop external to the housing. The housing has a passageway extending therethrough through which the cable extends and has a cable gripping location positioned along the passageway. The cable lockout device further includes a locking arm rotationally coupled to the housing that actuates a cleat or cam spaced from the axis of the locking arm, which cleat or cam can be brought towards another cleat or cam in the cable gripping location (upon closure) or away from the other cleat or cam (upon opening). In a closed position of the locking arm, the locking arm is lockable relative to the body to prevent movement of the locking arm back to the opened position without first unlocking the locking arm relative to the body.
Furniture drawer securement device
A tamper-evident securement device for use in securing closed a drawer of a furniture, comprising: a flexible extending closure member comprising an at least partially flexible attaching portion disposed within the furniture, and a flexible locking portion comprising a distal end section that traverses a gap between the drawer and a drawer opening when the drawer is closed, and provides an aperture that is disposed outside the furniture; and a securement member disposed within the furniture that attaches the extending closure member to an inner surface of a top side of the furniture; wherein a lock device can be inserted through the aperture of the flexible locking portion. The tamper-evident securement device may employ a shield plate. For installation of the tamper-evident securement device, an implement may be utilized.
LOCKING TABS
An example computing device chassis may include a fastener to seal the computing device chassis and a tab attached to an external surface of the computing device chassis and slidable over the external surface of the computing device chassis between a first position, exposing the fastener beneath the tab and a second position, obstructing access to the fastener beneath the tab and exposing a lock-engaging portion of the tab, wherein engagement of the lock-engaging portion of the tab with a locking mechanism blocks the tab from returning to the first position.
