The purchase of electrical lockouts

The purchasers of many companies are at a loss when choosing push button lockouts, so users should choose well-known and long-established padlocks. Big brands or brand agents, because have sufficient economic strength and a stable network system to guarantee service and after-sales, and avoid disputes caused by product quality problems.

Look at the surface treatment

Electrical lockouts are generally electroplated, sprayed, or colored before they leave the factory. These steps are beneficial to the electrical lockout itself because, after this series of treatments, a protective film will be formed on the surface of the electrical lockout, which can prevent corrosion and oxidation.

Hand weight ratio

Electrical lockouts that cut corners are generally made of hollow and low-quality materials, which are not only light but also feel bad in use.

Look at the safety standards

There are very strict standards for electrical lockouts at home and abroad. To save costs, small manufacturers will not follow the standards, while large brands generally follow the standards.

Maintenance of electrical lockout

The circuit breaker lockout must not be exposed to sunlight and rain for a long time, especially some rainwater in a more acidic environment, which is likely to corrode the circuit breaker lockout, and if it is serious, it will cause the circuit breaker lockout to be difficult to unlock.

We also need to protect the electrical lockout in daily use, so that it can be cleaned at any time. Of course, do not arbitrarily pour the debris into the lock during cleaning or use. If there are sundries in the electrical lockout, you can use leaded powder, lubricating oil, etc. to drip into the lock to open the electrical lockout.
