Lock Stop Button with Contact Block

The Lock Stop Button is an emergency stop switch with a pre-installed contact block, built for roof tile elevators and similar industrial machinery. It has a large red mushroom head that is easy to hit in a hurry, and once pressed it locks in place until it is released by hand. That lock-in action keeps the machine shut down until someone has checked the situation and deliberately reset it.

Why The Lock-In Function Matters

On a roof tile elevator, an emergency stop that springs back on its own could let the machine restart before the operator is ready. The lock stop button stays in the stopped position until it is released by hand, so the equipment cannot be re-energised by accident. That deliberate reset is what makes it a genuine safety device rather than just another switch.

Applications

• Emergency stop on roof tile elevators
• Conveyor and material handling systems
• Industrial machinery with a control panel
• On-site safety for tile lifts and hoists

What You Need To Complete The Job

Pair the lock stop button with the rest of the elevator control system. Add a limit switch to stop the lift at its limits and a start button to power it up. Browse the Roofing Accessories range for more spares.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a lock stop button used for?

It is an emergency stop switch that halts a machine instantly and stays locked in the stopped position until it is released by hand. It is used on roof tile elevators and industrial equipment to protect operators.

How does it stay locked?

When you press the mushroom head, the button latches into the stopped position. To restart the machine, you twist the head to release it, which means the reset is a deliberate action, not an accident.

Does it come with the contact block?

Yes. The contact block is pre-installed, so the switch is ready to wire into the control circuit. That saves time compared with sourcing the block separately.

Will it work on my Hytile elevator?

The button is suitable for Hytile elevators and similar lifting equipment with a standard panel mount. Confirm your control panel layout before ordering.
