General Information

At the heart of every BEST padlock is a standard key removable core that is interchangeable throughout most of the entire line of BEST® products. This standardization permits BEST locks of any type, size or style to be masterkeyed into one system which can expand to include future locking needs.

All padlocks utilize the interchangeable core which allows immediate rekeying at minimal cost. Padlocks are available in various case sizes and brass or stainless steel shackle sizes (see chart below). Brass cases with brass shackles are also available. Options include key retained / non-key retained, bronze or steel chains, special case embossing (Brass case only), corrosion resistance, car seal. See pages 6-9 for a complete list of options available.

Special Stamped Padlocks

Upon special request, and at no charge other than the initial cost of the die, BEST padlocks may be die-stamped with the customer's identification as specified. If stamp has been previously ordered, specify stamp number. (Brass padlocks only.)

Samples of Padlock Stamping

F3– Option Frangible Shackle

Available in 11B series only. The frangible shackle padlock is designed for fire and safety equipment, cabinets, etc. where casual entry needs to be prevented. During emergency, the shackle may be snapped by a hard blow or strong, steady pressure permitting entry without use of a key. (Check lock regulations). A brass 1 1/2" – number 20 size shackle is made frangible through use of special break point. Broken shackles are easily replaced in the field and may be ordered separately. A complete frangible shackle kit (including three frangible shackles, three shackle springs and one padlock disassembly tool) may be ordered with each padlock order.

To order kit specify: 11BFK

M-Option Chains

Chains may be supplied with padlock. When ordering clevis and chains, add M1 or M5 to padlock nomenclature. Standard chain length is 9", special length chains available upon request.

Lockout/Tagout

OSHA requires that a Lockout/Tagout system be placed upon energy control devices to ensure that machines and equipment are isolated from all energy sources before employees perform service or maintenance activities. This is particularly necessary where the unexpected energization, start-up, or release of stored energy could cause injury or equipment damage. BEST's Lockout/Tagout system includes six durable PVC vinyl coated BEST padlocks with Lockout/ Tagout devices (11B/12B, 21B/22B, 41B/42B).

The OSHA vinyl coated padlocks will not chip or corrode. They also resist acids, oils or abrasions. Available is an OSHA accepted 6-padlock red polyresin coated aluminum lockout (BD655), and easy-to-read energy source identification tags. In addition to names of the workers, our tags can provide pertinent information, i.e. where the worker can be located. Details of OSHA Lockout/Tagout standard can be found in the code of Federal Regulations for labor at Title 29 part 1910.147, the control of hazardous energy Lockout/Tagout.
