Fixed Length Seals

Description of Fixed Length Seals

Fixed length plastic seals are designed with a specific, non-adjustable length to secure various applications. Dickey Manufacturing Company (DMC) offers several fixed length seal options, including the Pitbull, Bulldog, and SmartLock II seals. All of our plastic seals are customizable with our various marking options allowing customers to secure their assets, their way.

Bulldog Seal

The Bulldog Seal is a fixed length plastic seal that features an easy tear-off between each seal, eliminating scrap plastic pieces. The seal is manufactured from two dissimilar materials: a durable Acetyl insert that withstands freezing and boiling conditions, and a flexible polypropylene body. The design uses rolled heat staking technology to secure the insert to the body, providing clear evidence of tampering if forced open or cut. A designated break-off point allows for easy removal and simple tamper inspection. The Bulldog Seal is ideal for securing vehicle doors, fire doors, and other sealing requirements.

Fixed Length Seals

Pitbull Seal

The Pitbull seal represents the next generation in the plastic truck security seal line. Its unique design adds additional printing surface area for text, serial numbering, logos, and barcoding without increasing the seal's length. The Pitbull is made with UV inhibitors for extended seal life and remains flexible, crack-resistant, and fade-resistant, making it ideal for outdoor applications. The use of dissimilar plastic materials in its construction makes the Pitbull extremely resistant to freezing and boiling conditions. The Pitbull is also available in a biodegradable material option, known as the GREEN Pitbull, which breaks down when exposed to microbe-rich environments like landfills, composting facilities, or soil.

Its design features a strong single point locking mechanism and an indicator that protrudes through a hole in the underside of the locking head, signifying that the seal has been properly locked. The seal also has a break-off point for easy tool-less removal, making it suitable for most applications.

The SmartLock Seal is available in two lengths:
