"Our Key safes are designed and built to be the best units on the UK market"
Manufactured in the UK, we offer a superior quality unit, constructed from 1.2mm thick mild steel. This ensures that we can supply the highest quality products.
Our key safe boxes, lock out boxes, card safes and any customised product we produce, are built within the UK and are manufactured to CEGB standard 13523. Prevising safe retention of keys and other means used for isolating or "locking off" in accordance with CEGB Safety Rules.
Our safes are designed to the highest standards, even when they are customised to suit an individual need.
The Key safe locking system operates in accordance with the following requirements;
The control key can be withdrawn in both the locked and unlocked position
Secondary lock keys can only be removed in the locked position
Lock mechanisms are independent of each other
The key safe is secure until all keys are in the unlocked position
Control locks and keys are alike within a key control area
Secondary locks and keys differ within a key control area
Key safes and lock out boxes are commonly supplied in single or multiple units, which can be close mounted together. We construct all our units with quality 1.2mm thick mild steel sheet, using a hinge pin 3.15mm in diameter secured to prevent withdrawal.
The door is fitted with clear plastic 3mm thick as standard, allowing for forced entry in emergency situations. All safes are then specified with one control lock and dependending on specification, either four or seven secondary locks. All locks are identified on the door of the safe, together with the safe number.
All keys for your lock out box are provided with brass tags engraved with the safe number and secondary lock identification.
All of our key safes, lock out boxes, key storage safes and customised units come as standard with an Abloy cylinder cam lock.
The ingenious lock invention is in no way dependent on springs and pins, which could reduce the efficiency of the lock over a lifetime of use. As is the case with so many other lock mechanisms, each groove of the key operates its individual tumbler disc in the cylinder and detemines its turning angle. When the key is turned clockwise, the tumbler disc notches align below the locking bar which drops into the groove and frees the cylinder. It is impossible with any key other than the correct one to align the notches so that the lock can be opened. The cam locks we use also offer a minimum of 270,000 differs.
Surface preparation and powdercoat finish
All of our key safe and lock out boxes are suitably degreased and prepared before any final finish is applied. Once etched primed, each unit is then undercoated and finished with two top coats of BS631 grey. Each key safe unit is then stoved at the correct temperature for maximum durability.

How does a lockout / tag out box work
A supervisor, or authorised employee will lock out the machinary and put the main key intoa lock out / tag out box. Each worker involved will place their key or lock onto the box to ensure that the equipment cannot be used. The machinery / eqipment will only be usable again once all the locks are removed.
Upon completion of the work, each worker will then be able to remove their lock from the outside of the lockout box which will allow the supervisor to then unlock the last lock and retrieve the required key.

What is a lock out tag out procedure?
LOTO (Lock out Tag out) refers to a procedure for health and safety, typically used in industrial environments to ensure machinery is shut off or locked-out from use prior to the completion of maintenance or repair work.
Our lock out boxes are used in conjunction with this procedure and allow for safe, isolated storage of control keys. Only once all keys are returned to the lock box can the site manager place machinery back in operation.
Our lock boxes are found in industrial environments, such as electrical stations, oil rigs, manufacturing plants and factories.
