Trapped Key Interlocks with Single Key (Stainless Steel)
Access control is the final stage of the Trapped Key process. It grants the user the ability to gain access to the hazardous area, either full body or part body. Access control interlocks are used to ensure that a guard or door is locked closed under normal operating conditions and can only be operated when a coded key is inserted and turned, enabling access to the machine.
When the key is inserted and turned, the interlock will open and the key will be trapped. The key cannot be removed until the guard is closed, and the key is turned back to the original position.
IDEM’s Trapped Key access locks in 316 grade stainless steel are suitable for high pressure hosing with detergent at high temperatures. The IP69K rating and the 100% mechanical operation makes them the perfect choice for applications in food, beverage and pharmaceutical manufacturing.
