To open the equipment, the seal must be <strong>broken or cut<\/strong>, which means you can immediately see that something has been opened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sealing is therefore a very common tool in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>fire protection<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>property management<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>security system<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>technical installations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where is sealing wire used?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Emergency doors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Emergency doors should always be able to be opened quickly in an emergency, but at the same time <strong>should they not be used as regular doors<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By installing a seal on the handle or mechanism, you can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>clearly see if the door has been opened<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>avoid unnecessary use of the door<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>quickly detect sabotage<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This is often used in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>schools<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>office buildings<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>shopping center<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>warehouses<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fire extinguisher<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Fire extinguishers are one of the most common products that are sealed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The seal is normally located around <strong>the fuse pin<\/strong> on the fire extinguisher and allows you to immediately see if it has been used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The advantages are that you can quickly:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>check fire extinguishers during fire protection patrols<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>see if anyone has tested or used the extinguisher<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>ensure it is ready in the event of an emergency<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fire hydrants and fire equipment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sealing is also used on equipment such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>hose cabinet<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>fire hydrant<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>fire doors<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>safety deposit box<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>By using seals, property managers can quickly see if the equipment has been opened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is an important part of <strong>systematic fire protection work (SBA)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Technical equipment and installations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sealing is also used in many technical installations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>electrical switchboards<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>alarm system<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>service panels<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>safety deposit box<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The seal then functions as a <strong>tamper indicator<\/strong> and shows if someone unauthorized has opened the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How does sealing work in practice?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sealing is a very simple security solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1 \u2013 Assembly<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The sealing wire is passed through an opening, for example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>through a sprint<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>through a handle<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>through a keyhole<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The tape is then inserted back into the seal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2 \u2013 Locking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When the tape is pulled through, the seal is locked and cannot be opened again without breaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means that it can only be removed by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>cut off<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>break<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>destroyed<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3 \u2013 Visual inspection<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The big advantage of sealing is that control is very simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can immediately see if the sealing is done:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>is whole<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>is broken<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>missing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This allows security checks to be carried out very quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Advantages of sealing wire<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Clear safety indication<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The seal makes it immediately visible if someone has opened or tampered with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quick check<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of opening each unit, you can quickly check that the seal is intact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It saves time when:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>fire protection controls<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>security patrols<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>property inspections<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prevents unnecessary use<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Emergency doors and fire extinguishers are sometimes used unnecessarily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sealing reduces the risk of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>sabotage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>prank<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>unauthorized use<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Very cost-effective<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sealing wire is a <strong>cheap but effective security measure<\/strong> which can significantly improve the control of safety equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sealing with your own text or logo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For many companies, it is important to be able to identify their seals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, it is possible to order sealing with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>own text<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>company name<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>logo<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>control number<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This can be done by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Color printing<\/strong><br>or<br><strong>Laser engraving<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Laser engraving<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With laser engraving, the text is burned into the material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The result is a <strong>light or dark gray tone<\/strong> depending on the color of the ribbon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The advantage is that the marking becomes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>permanent<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>very durable<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>difficult to manipulate<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This is especially popular for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>real estate company<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>security company<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>service organizations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Size and specification<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The most common model of sealing wire has the size:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>250mm x 20mm<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This size makes the seal work for most types of equipment, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>fire extinguisher<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>emergency doors<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>fire hydrant<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>safety deposit box<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQ
