A bolt seal comprising:
- a pin having a key;
- and
- a barrel having a storage position on the pin and being moveable from the storage position to a locking position by repositioning the key in the barrel in a different radial orientation such that the pin and the barrel are lockingly secured together.
A bolt seal comprising:
- a pin having a key;
- and
- a barrel having an axis, a first keyway and a second keyway, the pin having a first position relative to the barrel by axially moving the key into the first keyway and the pin having a second position relative to the barrel by axially moving the key into the second keyway, wherein the first and second keyways are radially adjacent.
A non-electric bolt seal comprising:
- a non-electrified pin having a first end, a second end and a diameter;
- a non-electric barrel lockingly secured to the first end of the pin;
- and
- a non-electric retainer fabricated of a single material, being uniform in cross section, having a diameter smaller than the diameter of the pin, and connecting the second end of the pin to the barrel such that when the pin is severed into two pieces after use of the bolt seal has ended, the retainer enables the bolt seal to be removed from the lock in one piece.
