This unique locking emergency switch or button cover has been developed to eradicate malicious or inappropriate pressing of the shut off button or switch. Unlike SSP Direct’s standard covers, this product offers an real barrier.
Incorporating a frangible lock, the person lifting the cover is met with real resistance. However, is important to note the frangible lock will break when lifted with genuine force in an emergency (replacement frangible lock can be bought in packs of ten at the link below)
Another feature with this frangible locking cover is it can be released with the snake eye security key provided. This means the switch or push button can be serviced/tested without breaking and wasting the existing frangible lock.
Material: Clear, tamper-proof and robust 3mm thick polycarbonate.
Fitting: This emergency stop/shut off button cover requires little DIY experience to fit. This product is easily retro-fitted over previously installed buttons using the screws and rawl plugs it is supplied with.
The covers that are 78mm and 98mm deep have pop-outs should you need to install this cover over the top of a button that has surface mounted conduit trunking leading to the button.
The cover comes with the standard message: In case of emergency, lift cover push button

Very knowledgeable and helpful
Do I have to remove the break glass unit or button before installing this cover? No. It is retro-fittable. In plain English this means it will fit over the top of your call point or push button. Simply drill four holes around the device, insert RAWL plugs provided and screw the cover into place. If there is any trunking or conduit (wires) going into the button or break glass, be sure to order the surface mounted version of this cover.
What is the difference between a flush mount and surface mounted cover? Perhaps a little confusingly, flush or surface refers to the button or break glass unit itself. If the button is flush it is built into the wall. If it is surface mounted it is screwed on top of the wall. In essence if the button is inset within the wall it will not protrude that far, nor will it have wires going into the top of it. In this instance you will need a flush mounted cover.
What do the different colours mean? The truth, the colour coding often ties with the colours of the buttons they are covering, particularly in the case of red and green. Red covers should go over fire alarm call points. Green should go over break glass press to exit buttons. Yellow should go over emergency cut off or shut off buttons and blue is the generic catch all cover that can be used over anything.
Can I use this product in a sports hall? This cover is made from 3mm thick shatter proof polycarbonate. It is incredibly tough and durable. It also has a curved shape to disperse the pressure of any significant impact across its entire surface. To give you a little reassurance, having been selling this product to sports halls and gyms for many years, we are pleased to say this has never been returned as being unsuitable for this environment.
Can I change the message on the cover? Yes. Working with the space available we can pretty much show any message you require. However, please be aware that the lead time on doing this is around 5 days.
Can I take the message off? Yes, easy. We can do it for you or you can do it yourself. All that is required is an Allen key to take the coloured plastic out of the top of this unit. You then would need to peel off the message and screw the plastic back into place. This process takes no more than a minute. if you like, SSP can do this at no extra cost.
Will I need to order an external cover if the button in question is outside? If the button itself is water proof / weather resistant then in truth you may not need to. The only time you need the order an external cover is when the button or device being covered is not weather proof.
What on earth is a frangible lock? The polycarbonate lock on the face of this cover is designed to give way if the cover is lifted with extreme force. This unit comes with a two pronged key so the cover can also be opened without breaking the frangible lock.
Can I buy more frangible lock when this one is inevitably broken in an emergency? Yes, shown in the links below. You can also buy more keys, should extra members of staff need one.
