Security Bolt Seals are essential tools for security and tamper-evidence in numerous industries. Understanding how to correctly use them ensures their effectiveness. These seals generally consist of two main parts: a male plug (often with a spring fastener) and a female socket. The design ensures a secure, one-time lock.
Correct Application Steps:
Insertion: Thread the flexible cable or strap of the seal through the item’s locking point (e.g., a Trailer Container,Rail transport Container, Logistics freight Container, etc).
Engagement: Insert the male plug firmly into the female socket until you hear or feel a definitive click. The internal spring fastener snaps into place, locking the components.
Verification: Once engaged, gently pull on the seal to confirm it is locked and secure. A properly sealed unit cannot be opened without causing visible damage.
Removal: To open, the seal must be cut or broken. The act of removal permanently destroys the seal, providing clear evidence of tampering. The internal mechanism prevents re-insertion of the broken plug, making any tamper attempt immediately obvious.
Key Advantages of Security Seals:
Tamper-Evident: Any attempt to remove the seal results in irreversible breakage, offering clear visual proof of interference.
Durable & Weather-Resistant: Made from materials like ABS, Q235A low-carbon steel,they withstand harsh environments, including high temperatures, moisture, and UV exposure.
Cost-Effective & Versatile: They provide a highly economical security solution for a vast range of applications.
Safe & Eco-Friendly: Modern Disposable Bolt Seals are non-toxic, lead-free, and often recyclable.
Primary Applications:
Bolt Seals are widely used to secure transportation containers (rail, shipping), postal bags, logistics cargo, instruments, oil & gas equipment, and utility cabinets. They are crucial for preventing theft, unauthorized access, and revenue loss in sectors like utilities, logistics, manufacturing, and customs.
By following the correct application procedure, users maximize the security benefits of plastic seals, ensuring asset protection and maintaining system integrity.
