Fire Brigade Padlocks
Fire brigade padlocks are an essential choice for securing communal areas and equipment where emergency access may be required. Commonly used by councils, property managers, and emergency services, they are ideal for securing locations such as bin stores, car park gates, electric cupboards, and dry riser equipment. These locks are compatible with fire brigade keys carried by emergency services, ensuring quick and efficient access in critical situations.
Available in 2” FB, FB11, and FB14 sizes, these durable “Old English” style padlocks are designed to restrict public access while remaining robust enough for regular use. Additional keys can be purchased separately, making it easy to provide access to authorised personnel.
