Capitol magnetic padlock solution is perfect for the construction sector

Defiant padlocks stand up well to extreme weather.

While an unparalleled scope of industrial locking solutions is available from Capitol Industries Inc., there is another strong reason why Canadian businesses choose the company: its innovation. This is most evident in its magnetic padlock solution, which uses Capitol’s MagSecur technology to make it resistant against picking and vandalism.

Designed specifically for outdoor use, these magnetic padlocks are an ideal choice for such industries as mining, the marine sector – and especially construction.

Built with weather-resistant materials

As a field that functions primarily outdoors, construction is often heavily affected by weather conditions, particularly in Canada, which is known for weather extremes. In harsh winters with heavy snowfalls and very low temperatures, standard padlocks from other manufacturers quickly become unusable, sometimes within weeks. Extreme rust is a typical risk.

Capitol has constructed this magnetic padlock solution with weather-resistant material and high strength. Its robust design keeps the lock mechanisms airtight, which protects the insides from water, moisture, and other contaminants. By using the MagSecur technology, the lock can keep its internals sealed from the outdoor environment.

Not only is this magnetic padlock solution weatherproof; it is also tamper- and vandal-proof. Construction sites that are out in the open are more vulnerable to outside parties, but each of these locks is pick-resistant due to the lack of a keyway. The lock is operated with a magnetic key that is uniquely keyed, offering more than 250,000 magnetic locking combinations and a boron alloy shackle that resists cutting.

These padlocks come with interchangeable, marine-grade, stainless steel shackles as well, which allows users to employ them in highly corrosive environments, or in outdoor construction applications in which the locks still need to be in working condition after the winter months – so they do not have to be removed with bolt cutters. With the magnetic force between the lock and key, only an easy, one-handed operation is required.
