Magnetic padlock by Capitol Industries resists picking, tampering, vandals

The Capitol defiant padlock has a unique magnetic technology called MagSecur.

Capitol Industries Inc. supplies an unmatched range of security products, and the company keeps creating new innovations for different customer needs. In the case of users in outdoor industries – like construction, mining, or the marine sector – a significant issue is vandals who can pick or tamper with locks. Enter the Capitol magnetic padlock. This recently developed solution employs an unprecedented magnetic locking technology that eliminates this issue.

Keyway absence heightens security

To develop this product, the Capitol team has invented its own patented magnetic security technology, MagSecur. This one-of-a-kind feature ensures that these padlocks are not prone to the same vulnerabilities that standard keyed locks are. Each unit is operated by a special magnetic key, which is uniquely coded to open or close that specific lock. More than 250,000 magnetic combinations are available, and multiple locks can be keyed alike.

How does this function ward off unwanted parties? Through the absence of a keyway. Without a keyway, vandals have no way to pick this magnetic padlock or tamper with it to get it open. The magnetic function makes the lock invulnerable to strangers. In addition, the lock has a boron alloy shackle that strongly resists cutting, so even vandals with cutting tools are at a loss to break the unit.

Another major advantage of investing in Capitol’s magnetic padlock: its weatherproof quality ensures long-term function. The lock is corrosion-resistant, and its robust design ensures that it will work even in outdoor applications with infrequent use, which can cause standard padlocks to seize up over time and become weak. This construction keeps the lock mechanism airtight, preventing water, moisture, and other contaminants from entering the lock structure, even when users leave it unlocked.

To get a real sense of just how strong and secure these magnetic padlocks are, watch this video demonstration of an M-8000 model being smacked with a hammer, through a steel rod:

With Capitol magnetic padlocks, outdoor businesses can rest assured of security from vandals for 365 days a year.
