Switch Lever Guard - Metal 1/4 in padlock holes flush toggle switch use - Eaton 7949
Metal switch lever guard for flush toggle switches with 1/4 in padlock holes for lockout. Commonly used to help prevent accidental or unauthorized switch operation in commercial and industrial installations.
What this product is for
This metal switch lever guard is used to restrict operation of a flush toggle switch by adding a lockable guard over the lever. The 1/4 in padlock holes allow lockout where a padlock or site lockout procedure is required.
Use for
Use for maintenance lockout, equipment isolation, restricted lighting or control switches, and commercial or industrial areas where accidental switching must be reduced. Common applications include plant rooms, warehouses, service areas, and machinery control points.
Avoid for
Avoid for rocker switches, decorator devices, or switch types that are not compatible with a flush tumbler or toggle style mounting arrangement. Do not assume padlock compatibility beyond the stated 1/4 in hole size.
Best for
Best for electricians and maintenance teams needing a simple mechanical switch guard for lockout on standard flush toggle switch installations.
Installed in
Typically installed on wall switch locations in commercial, institutional, and industrial facilities. It is commonly selected where local safety procedures require a visible and practical lockout point at the switch.
Why this product exists
This product helps reduce accidental energizing or unauthorized operation of a switch-controlled load. It provides a straightforward way to add lockout capability without replacing the switch with a specialty device.
Compared with similar products
Compared with non-locking switch guards, this model adds 1/4 in padlock holes for lockout. Compared with full lockout devices or disconnect hardware, it is a simpler option for compatible flush toggle switch applications. Verify switch style and site safety requirements before ordering.
