Easi-Lok safety access panels make your life easier. They are designed by users, for users, to make the process of secure access fast, easy and as safe as possible in all weathers. We believe they’re the most user-centric access covers in the UK.

Frequently asked questions
What is Easi-Lok?
Easi-Lok is a secure elevated chamber cover with an internal mounted secure locking system. It is unique in that it offers users safe, single-handed operation.
Where can Easi-Lok be installed?
You can install Easi-Lok elevated chamber covers on any suitable opening containing infrastructure that requires protection. This could include access chambers, draw pits and valve chambers, where odour control is not required.
Utility companies in particular can benefit from Easi-Lok, as it makes operating water access covers fast and simple for authorised personnel.
What makes Easi-Lok different from other access covers?
Easi-Lok stands out from the competition as it can be both opened and locked using only one hand, even while the user is wearing gloves. No other security cover can be unlocked as fast with one hand.
It also offers additional security: the padlock cannot be removed, misplaced, or contaminated, and the locking mechanism is secured and protected within the chamber. Easi-Lok also has a spring-loaded lid for ease of opening.
What problems does Easi-Lok solve?
Easi-Lok was designed by field engineers who have to regularly open and close access covers and found themselves kneeling on the ground struggling with padlocks, in all weathers.
At JOD, we took the matter into our own hands. The result was the Easi-Lok range, specifically designed to make your life easier. It means:
- No more putting equipment down on the ground while unlocking
- The ability to keep your gloves on while opening, for safety, ease, and warmth
- Less unproductive time – the process happens in seconds
- No risk of dropping, contaminating or losing the padlock
- A less frustrating process that ultimately saves time from your day
How is Easi-Lok protected against vandalism?
The Easi-Lok range is resistant to attack or vandalism. It’s secured to LPS 1175 security rating D10 (SR4), making it intruder resistant.

Our single leaf horizontal upstand access cover has the following dimensions.
Depth: minimum of 400mm, maximum of 1400mm
Width: minimum width of internal opening of 400mm, maximum width of internal opening of 1100mm
