weatherproof locks

Capitol magnetic padlocks work for the marine sector.

Capitol Industries Inc. covers an unparalleled range of industrial applications with its wide selection of locking solutions. This includes a line of magnetic padlocks – a series of weatherproof locks that are designed primarily for outdoor use and especially ideal for tasks in tough work conditions, like in shipping vessels.

Recommended highly for marine applications and the transportation industry, these magnetic padlocks employ a special kind of magnetic technology, MagSecur, developed by the Capitol team itself.

Mixing robustness with security

Freight containers on shipping vessels need strong, secure, weatherproof locks designed for reliable attachment, to prevent unauthorized or accidental opening. Salt water is highly corrosive, and water conditions are unpredictable, so these locks should be waterproof too. Most importantly, they must withstand a corrosive environment that can damage the internals of less robust locks and render them unusable.

This innovative series of magnetic padlocks is sealed from the environment, making them airtight, watertight, and extra-secure, without any external moving parts, keyways, or other openings. Even when left unlocked, they are protected from contaminants. More than 250,000 magnetic key codes are available. The MagSecur system is a bonus benefit, making these weatherproof locks pick-resistant, tamper-resistant, and vandal-resistant. It makes them perfect for any outdoor application, including gates, utilities, transportation, correctional facilities, remote facilities, and urban donation containers.

Every lock has a brass body and operates with a magnetic key/fob, uniquely keyed to each unit. This design makes sure the padlock functions properly even when used infrequently, unlike competing padlocks, which may seize over long inactive periods. Other key benefits:

  • five-second shackle change
  • choice between a marine-grade stainless steel shackle that resists corrosion in all weather conditions and a boron alloy shackle that resists cutting
  • easy, single-handed operation involving nothing more that magnetic force between lock and key

Four models of magnetic padlocks are available from Capitol: the M-8000 and M-8030, with stainless steel shackles, and the M-8002 and M-8032, with boron alloy shackles. Each of these locks has a base that is 2¼ inches wide and 2½ inches high; all shackles are 5/16 of an inch thick.
