Keline Manufacturing has been in
business since 1977,
manufacturing railroad switch
locks and switch and coach keys.
Coach keys are used to unlock
cabooses and diesel locomotives.
Switch locks are placed on
railroad switches to discourage
people with horseplay in mind
from pulling a switch and
sending a train onto the wrong
track.
Keline starts with raw steel and
does all the lock fabrication at
its location in Elkhart,
Indiana. Keys arrive as blanks
and are ground into the proper
configuration for each railroad.
After the steel is formed into
locks, the locks are sent to
another company to be plated
before returning to Keline for
the remainder of the work.
Safety and dependability are all
important features of a padlock,
and the Keyline padlock assures
just that strength, long
life and dependability
The
interior mechanism is of the
most ridged construction
insuring a padlock that will
sustain hard usage.
The
switch locks are furnished with
a 12 inch length of heavy chain
and can be fitted to any
standard barrel type switch key.
Unlike other locks of this type,
our switch locks are furnished
with a case hardened shackle
made of 4320 steel which is
tough and impact-resistant and
recommended where high-core
toughness and shock resistance
are required.
In
some cases, the added security
of the hardened steel shackle is
not required, therefore, as an
alternative, we also offer the
lock with a steel shackle.
In
addition to the switch keys, we
also offer the coach or diesel
door lock keys.
We
would appreciate your
consideration as a major source
of your lock and key
requirements.
