Overview

Named after Osbourn Dorsey who invented the modern-day door handle and door stopper, the Osbourn range gives the peace of mind and proactive protection from unexpected start up that you’d expect from a Fortress safety key product and is designed to be easily retrofitted to an existing system or even added on to a light curtain.

The devices in our Osbourn range add safety key functionality to existing perimeter safeguards, protecting operators who work inside the safeguarded space from being trapped inside and from unexpected restart of the machine. Our Osbourn solutions are designed to be retrofitted on to existing systems which already have interlocks or light curtains installed without the need for any wiring or reprogramming.

Compatible with a wide range of light curtains and any interlocks on sliding or hinged doors, Osbourn devices have integrated mounting plates for simple mounting. As with all Fortress products, we use only the most robust materials and test all our products extensively to protect you and your colleagues.
