Fire Alarm • Electrical Safety

Keep emergency and life-safety systems secure. The ELOCK-FA kit prevents accidental shutdowns of fire alarm and emergency circuits by locking the breaker arm in an "on" position with tamper-resistant hardware and visible FA/EC labeling.

Why choose the ELOCK-FA Fire Alarm Lockout Kit?

The ELOCK-FA Fire Alarm Lockout Kit provides a simple, durable, and compliant method to secure breakers that feed fire alarm and emergency systems. Whether you're maintaining a single-family home, a commercial building, or a multi-site facility, this kit ensures critical circuits stay powered until a qualified technician intentionally removes the lockout.

Key features

  • Complete kit (2 sets): Each package contains two red lock tabs, two attach screws, one 8-32 hex key, and four FA/EC label stickers.
  • Durable construction: Made of high-quality metal — designed not to bend or break during normal use.
  • Compact fit: Hole dimension approximately 0.6 × 0.45 in — fits most standard circuit breaker arms.
  • Clearly labeled: Includes FA and EC stickers for both the breaker and the index on the panel to identify protected circuits.
  • Prevents accidental shutdown: Ideal for fire alarm and emergency circuits to maintain life-safety system reliability.
  • Easy installation: Secures to the breaker arm with the supplied 8-32 hex key — no special tools required.

Quick installation guide

  1. Turn off main power if required by your facility policy and put on appropriate PPE.
  2. Place the lockout tab over the breaker arm so the hole lines up with the arm mounting point.
  3. Use the supplied 8-32 hex key to secure the attach screw through the tab into the breaker arm — tighten until secure.
  4. Select and apply the appropriate label (FA or EC) next to the breaker to identify its purpose.
  5. Apply the matching label to the breaker panel index to mark the branch circuit as fire/emergency protected.
  6. Verify the breaker cannot be moved to the OFF position without removing the lockout device.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Will this fit my breaker?
