HD Type P padlock Designed for use in harsh environments like recycling facilities, the HD Type P padlock can be integrated into lockout/tagout procedures within a trapped-key, interlocking safety system. It is constructed of heavy-duty 316 steel with a 304 stainless-steel shackle, while the dowel pin key and cylinder are made from 316 stainless steel. As an option, companies can have an alphanumeric code of up to five characters stamped onto the lock and key for easy identification.

What's new? The padlock, which was introduced in June.

Benefits Extreme durability. The heavy-duty construction and materials make the HD Type P suitable for extreme industrial settings, and the key is gasketed to keep dust and debris out.
