Keep an accurate inventory of every padlock, hasp, tag, key, and lockout device used across your operation. This template helps maintenance, safety, facilities, and operations teams track who holds each item, where it is stored, its condition, and when it needs replacement. It replaces paper sign out sheets and scattered spreadsheets with a shared register in Coast.

How the Lock & Tag Hardware Register Works

• Add and Label Hardware

  Create a record for each padlock, hasp, tag, key, or lockout device. Add a unique ID, hardware type, key number, condition, and supporting photo.

• Assign and Track Custody

  Record who holds each item and where it is stored. Update the assignment when hardware is issued, returned, transferred, or placed back in storage.

• Inspect and Replace Equipment

  Review hardware condition on a set schedule. Flag damaged, missing, or retired items and start replacement or purchasing work when action is needed.
