Narrative:
This issue is not aircraft specific. I would like to bring a very serious safety matter to your attention regarding the new circuit breaker (circuit breaker) -lock- and -danger flag-; two separate items. Today I tried to order these safety items and ZZZ was out of stock of the danger flags and I also checked with the stores/tool supply at the terminal.
