Padlock for Safety Switch

[kbuhagiar]

Hello Folks,

I installed a safety switch on my 4-post lift:

I need a padlock to enable the lockout function. I've looked online but haven't been able to find a padlock with a 3/16" shackle that's long enough. I've found them in the 1 1/2" shackle height, but I think that may be too short for this switch. and the longer ones are too thick (1/4")

Anyone using this switch - or one similar - what padlock do you have?

Thanks in advance.

Would this one work?

I bet they probably have them at Wal Mart. If not then Home Depot ? Lowes ?

Would the padlock work if you flip up the stop button and then lock it out ?

Thanks folks,

I found one at Grainger. Problem solved!

IMHO, an electrical supply house should be able to find you a decent lockout.
