Switch Lockout Switch Lockout E250
The switch lockout can be used to block most standard wall switches. The device has a clear polycarbonate housing that is easily mounted on top of the switch using existing plate screws. To lock the switch out, just slide down the cover and put a padlock through the hole at the bottom of the housing. The device is clear so that workers can see which position the switch currently is in. The unique sliding mechanism uses no hinges which makes the switch lockout more robust and less likely to break accidentally.
Technology:
- High-grade polycarbonate: durable, robust and non-conductive
- Easy to install using existing screws
- Clear material so that you can easily see if switch is in on or off position
- 2 separate parts, without any fragile hinges
- For 1 safety padlock

ABUS E250 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the ABUS E250 switch lockout fit a standard toggle wall switch and plate?
The E250 is built for most standard toggle wall switches. The clear polycarbonate housing mounts on top of the switch plate using the plate screws already in place, so no new drilling or a different cover plate is needed. Overall size is 4 11/64 inches long, 1-27/64 inches wide, and 29/32 inches deep, so allow that much clearance around the switch and off the wall face.
2) What size padlock shackle fits the ABUS E250 wall switch lockout?
The lock hole takes a 5/16 inch shackle diameter, and it is sized for one safety padlock. If your crew standardizes on a thicker steel shackle, it will not pass through, so pick a safety padlock with a 5/16 inch or smaller shackle for this device.
3) Can more than one worker lock out the same switch with the E250?
No. The E250 housing has a single hole sized for one safety padlock. For a group lockout where several trades each apply their own lock, you need to run this device's padlock through a hasp, or use a group lockout box, and lock the hasp instead.
4) Can an electrician tell whether the switch is on or off once the E250 is locked on?
Yes. The housing is clear polycarbonate specifically so the toggle position stays visible through the cover, which lets you verify the switch is in the off position without removing the device. That matters when you are verifying de-energization before opening a fixture or panel.
5) Is the ABUS E250 safe to install on a live switch, and will it conduct?
The body is high-grade polycarbonate, which is non-conductive, and it mounts externally over the switch plate rather than inside the box, so no wiring is disturbed to install it. It is a commercial-duty device.
6) Do hinged switch lockout covers break more easily than the ABUS E250?
The E250 has no hinge at all. It is two separate parts with a sliding cover, and ABUS builds it that way because hinges are the usual failure point on switch lockouts. You slide the cover down over the toggle and padlock it through the hole in the bottom of the housing. For facilities that see repeated lockout cycles in maintenance shops or plant areas, that is the practical difference against a hinged flip-cover style.
7) Does the ABUS E250 come with a padlock?
No padlock is included. The E250 is the lockout housing only, mounted with the switch plate screws you already have. Order a safety padlock separately, with a shackle of 5/16 inch or less so it passes through the lock hole.
8) What is the ABUS model number for this wall switch lockout?
ABUS calls it the E250 switch lockout, a transparent wall switch lockout device for a single padlock. That is the number to quote if you are standardizing lockout hardware across a building.
