How to buy mGard?

 

Trapped key interlocking allows the safeguarding of dangerous machines and hazardous processes. For a smooth ordering process, when you buy a trapped key system, you should specify the key sequence and logic depending on your application requirements.

 

Key exchange boxes can enable you to isolate several sources of hazardous energy before allowing access to an area. Trapped key systems can also enhance your LOTO procedures by making sure LOTO processes are followed in the correct order. If you need help with designing your system please click the button below.
