Master Lock Lockout Tagout Safety Lock for Electrical Applications 410RED | Red Lockout Tagout Lock For Electrical Panels, Breaker Boxes, Workplace Compliance, and Secure Maintenance, OSHA Compliant

Love the lock; used it for securing a Minkota Trolling Motor - Rip Tide Terrova (Salt Water). (I) the shackle is stainless steel unlike most hardened steel / boron alloy shackles which rust out in salt water, (ii) the key decider was the shackle thickness, thus is almost a perfect fit for the small openings for the trolling motor mounts, and (iii) the body is polymer - the lock is designed for reliability in harsh industrial environments. One funny note which anyone family with LOTO will be aware of is IT COMES WITH ONLY ONE KEY… I thought this was and error :-) But of course, with LOTO, you ONLY want one key… can’t have someone unknowing opening your lock. It’s a feature. Love it.

For those of us in the Locksport Community, we all know Master Lock is the butt of a great number of jokes because their products are truly horrible. However, this padlock is a rare exception. This lock is NOT designed to withstand physical attacks; the body is made of plastic. However, with a 6-pin core containing all security pin drivers, it's great practice for those looking to sharpen or maintain their skills with spool and serrated pins. My attached pictures give you a look inside the lock. The lock housing is not designed to be opened; the plastic body is sealed. I broke mine open along the seam line and then super-glued it back together. The plug has a standard Master Lock keyway but because the entire core is relatively small, maneuvering your pick can be a little tricky due to limited space. Also, this is a dead core meaning there is no spring tension on the plug. Precision tension therefore becomes very important which is more great practice. My lock (and I assume yours will too) contained 5 spool drivers, 1 serrated driver (having two spaced out serrations), and 6 standard key pins. For prices in the single digits, you just can't beat this lock. Now, if someone could only talk Master Lock into pinning ALL their locks this way... [***WARNING*** ] The opening in the plastic body through which the key is inserted is warded so that when turning the key to unlock it, the key (and therefore the plug) will only rotate 90 degrees before stopping. After successfully picking this lock, DO NOT rotate the plug anywhere near 180 degrees. Stop at 90 like the key does. The reason for this is because if you rotate the core 180 degrees, all of the key pins in the plug will fall out inside the body of the lock. You will then be forced to either throw it away or crack it open and re-pin it. You can see in one of my pictures what the lock will look like once you crack it open if you pick it and rotate the plug too far. All of the key pins are laying loose in a recess.

I bought this for locksport, and boy was it a doozy! For the price you really can’t beat the challenge this lock offers up. Seriously, you’re getting 6 pins—all security, both spools and serrated—in a paracentric keyway. For under $30 that’s a great deal. And it’s a dead core, which is a nice change from most of my practice padlocks. It’s not going to have the nice UX of an American 1100. Yes, the body is plastic and feels cheaply made. But in terms of skill-building, it is a great next step. And again, at around $15 at the time of writing, you’d be hard-pressed to find something this challenging at the same price point. Side-note to all the enthusiasts wondering why this is the lock Master put the higher-security core into: it’s probably for liability reasons. Most of their 4-pin cores are such low security that, were they to be deployed in a use case like LOTO (so an abundance of the same make/model locks being used in situations where personal safety is at risk), the possibility of one person‘s key opening another person’s lock becomes both more likely and more dangerous than in a typical security use case.

Master Locks odd hybrid tagout / lockout creation baffles. Here is the lock core Master Lock *ought* to be using with their tough hardware, inserted into a plastic shell, for a non-high security purpose. TOLO locks don't NEED to be high security - just need to be enough to prevent operation of dangerous equipment by careless people - basically they need to be lockable tamper seals. A perfect place to use their marshmallow soft four pin cores, yo go along with plastic bodies. Instead, the TOLO lock has the flimsy body, and the tough six pin core. Isn't that exactly backwards? Master Lock is notorious for easy cores in tough hardware, but they have this tough core available - why don't they swap..?! Four stars because this IS a good core, and will certainly lockout equipment, over-kill style. My lock-picking skills are in for a test!

Best lock core I've seen in a Masterlock. All 6 pins are security pins. The ones I received have 5 spools and 1 serrated pin. I'm not sure if the numbers of each vary from lock to lock, but since both of mine have the same, I'd bet they all are. Both have pretty extreme bitting making them a challenge. Do not rotate core past 90 degrees!! The key pins will all dump out into the lock body. Even knowing this beforehand I still managed to do it with one of the locks and had to split the body open and re-pin it. It's really easy to over rotate if not paying attention. Overall, they are great locks to hone or develop your skills with security pins as they are cheap and have a challenging core. However, they would be less than useless to secure valuables as they are designed for lockout tagout and one strike from a hammer would shatter lock body and shackle would fall open.

A lock is a lock works just fine. Would purchase again if needed

can't comment on their utility as actually LOTO lock applications besides that dollar for dollar, you can't find a better core for the price as these. i've bought a few and none were "easy" opens. occasionally stats align and build tolerances work it out such that within the same exact production runs of locks you'll occasionally get one that's oddly simple to open, and another that makes you questions what happened to the skill set you believed you could make pretty straightforward work out of this plastic lock that won't open for you seemingly for anything you are throwing it's way. I'd reccommend buying a few, make sure they're keyed differently (usually are given the LOTO application) that way you really are sure to make these the best training tools you can find for under $20. Say word son.

There isnt much to these. Easy to see and mechanism is easy to turn. Dropped it on concrete a few times and its fine.

El producto es bueno, llegó en buen estado y a tiempo. El precio es por una unidad, para que lo tengan en cuenta.

Correspond au besoin

Master loto lock if your ordering this you probly know about it already genuine product well worth it. Plastic body hard to pick great product

Does exactly what it says on the box. If you are looking for something to lock up stuff (instead of safety tag out/I'm working here) I would go for a different lock. Main reason is the plastic lock body that can be broken fairly easily, and then everything falls apart.

Good quality loto lock
