Why are Breakable Locks Necessary?

Breakable locks are designed to provide visual evidence of tampering or unauthorized access. They break easily when force is applied so authorized personnel have quick and easy access, but once the lock is broken or removed, it indicates that someone has accessed the secured component or device.

In many jurisdictions, fire codes or regulations may require breakable locks to be installed in certain parts of the fire sprinkler system. Inspectors or authorities can easily identify if the locks are intact, providing a visual confirmation that the system has not been tampered with or modified since the last inspection.
