American Lock AME-A10KAMK 2KEY – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does "keyed alike master keyed" mean on the American Lock A10KAMK padlock?
The A10KAMK ships keyed alike, so every lock in the order opens with the same change key, and it is also set up on a master key so a supervisor or maintenance key opens all of them. That combination suits a bank of storage units, lockers, or gates where crews carry one key and management carries the master. Because the keying is done at the factory on a non-rekeyable cylinder, you specify the key code when you order.
2) Will the A10KAMK padlock fit through my hasp? What are the shackle dimensions?
The shackle is 5/16 inch in diameter, 1-1/8 inch of clearance under the crossbar, and 3/4 inch between the legs. That 3/4 inch inside width is the number that decides whether it passes through a hasp staple or a chain link, and the 1-1/8 inch clearance limits how thick a hasp plus staple stack you can lock through. The body itself is 1-3/4 inch wide.
3) Can the American Lock A10KAMK be rekeyed later if a key goes missing?
No. The A10KAMK uses a non-rekeyable 5-pin APTC12 cylinder, so it cannot be re-pinned in the field or at a locksmith bench. If keys are lost you replace the lock. If you need a padlock you can rekey or rotate cores on, look at a removable core padlock like the Sargent 60-858-2 instead.
4) How do I get these padlocks keyed to the key system already on my other American Lock padlocks?
Enter your key code on the order. The A10KAMK is factory keyed to the code you supply, so a new batch can be cut to the same change key and master as padlocks already in service on your site. Without a code the order cannot be matched to an existing system.
5) For a corrosive wash-down area, is the aluminum American Lock A10KAMK or a stainless steel body padlock the better fit?
The American Lock A10KAMK pairs a solid aluminum body with a chrome-plated shackle specifically for corrosion resistance, and is aimed at manufacturing environments and self-storage or locker use. If your specification calls for a stainless body rather than aluminum, the Medeco 521 G8R is a weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body, supplied less pop-out cylinder. Sargent's 858 and 60-858-2 padlocks also use stainless steel shackles, the 60-858-2 with a 2 inch shackle and a removable core.
6) The American Lock A10KAMK shackle is too short for my hasp. What padlocks offer a longer shackle?
The A10KAMK has a 1-1/8 inch shackle clearance height with a 3/4 inch shackle width, which suits close-fitting hasps and locker or self-storage hardware. For a taller opening, the Sargent 60-858-2 uses a 2 inch stainless steel shackle and takes a removable core, and the Sargent 82-856 is a non-key retaining padlock with a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case and a stainless steel shackle.
7) If I need a padlock that can be rekeyed or tied into an existing master key system with interchangeable cores, what should I use instead of the American Lock A10KAMK?
The A10KAMK's 5-pin APTC12 cylinder is non-rekeyable and is factory keyed to your key code, including keyed alike and master keyed, so the keying is fixed at the time of order. Where you need field-serviceable keying, the Sargent 60-858-2 is a removable core padlock and the Sargent 82-856 is a KESO Series non-key retaining padlock. The Medeco 521 G8R ships less pop-out cylinder so you can install the cylinder your system already uses.
8) Is an aluminum body padlock strong enough for outdoor and washdown areas?
The A10KAMK is built for corrosive settings rather than for maximum cut resistance. The body is solid aluminum, which does not rust, and the shackle is chrome plated for added corrosion resistance. American Lock lists it for self storage units, lockers, and manufacturing environments. If the exposure is marine or heavy chemical and you want a metal that holds up harder, a stainless body padlock such as the Medeco 521 G8R is the alternative.
9) How many keys come with each A10KAMK padlock, and can I order them with no keys at all?
Key count is an ordering choice: 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 keys per lock, with 2 per lock as the standard. Zero-key orders are common on large keyed alike master keyed jobs where one set of keys is cut separately and you do not want loose keys shipped with every padlock.
10) Can I get the A10KAMK padlock with a chain so it stays attached to the gate?
Yes. Each key-count option can be ordered with a #40 sash chain, 9 inches long and zinc plated, or with no chain. The chain keeps the padlock captive on the hasp or gate so it does not walk off when the opening is unlocked, which is why self storage and yard gate users order it.
11) Which padlock should I use if I need the same 5/16 inch shackle but in brass rather than aluminum?
The Schlage KS23D/KS23F is a brass body padlock with the same 5/16 inch shackle diameter, so it passes through the same hasps and chain as the A10KAMK while giving you a brass case instead of aluminum. Keep the A10KAMK where corrosion is the main concern and where you want factory keyed alike plus master keying.
12) What is the difference between the American Lock A10KAMK and a brass body padlock like the Medeco 5260?
The A10KAMK is a grey solid aluminum body lock, 1-3/4 inch wide, with a 5/16 inch chrome shackle and a non-rekeyable 5-pin cylinder. The Medeco 5260 is a 52 Series brass body padlock with a 7/16 inch shackle diameter and M3 key technology in a satin chrome finish, so it carries a heavier shackle and a different key system. Sargent's 758 is a key retaining brass-era padlock in US4 satin brass, and the 858 is the non-key retaining version with a stainless shackle.
13) Can the American Lock A10KAMK be used as a lockout/tagout safety padlock?
The A10KAMK is a commercial solid aluminum body padlock factory keyed alike under a master key, intended for self-storage units, lockers and manufacturing environments. Locks built specifically for safety lockout are a different family: the ABUS 72/30 is an anodized aluminum safety padlock with a 1-1/4 inch body width and 3/16 inch shackle diameter, and the ABUS 74/40 is an insulated safety padlock with a 6-pin cylinder, 1/4 inch shackle diameter and 1-1/2 inch body width. Both have narrower bodies and thinner shackles than the A10KAMK's 1-3/4 inch body and 5/16 inch shackle.
14) Is there an alternative to the American Lock A10KAMK that avoids metal-to-metal contact against a painted or finished surface?
The A10KAMK body is bare solid aluminum, and it is offered with or without a 9 inch #40 zinc plated sash chain for tethering the lock at the hasp. If you want a sleeved or covered body to protect the surface it swings against, the ABUS 76/40 is a plastic-covered aluminum core padlock with a 1/4 inch shackle diameter and roughly 1-37/64 inch width, and the ABUS T84MB/30 Nautic uses a black sleeve over the body with a 13/64 inch shackle diameter and 1-17/64 inch body width.
15) I need audit trail and access scheduling on a padlock, not just a master key. What is the alternative to the American Lock A10KAMK?
The A10KAMK is a purely mechanical padlock, factory keyed alike and master keyed with a 5-pin APTC12 cylinder. For electronic credential control on an outdoor hasp, the Medeco 54515G is an XT electronic indoor/outdoor padlock, non-key retaining, with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter and supplied with a cylinder, matching the A10KAMK's 5/16 inch shackle size.
16) What is the difference between the American Lock A10, A11, and A12 aluminum padlocks?
They are the same solid aluminum non-rekeyable family, split by keying arrangement and body size. Within any one model you choose keyed different, keyed alike, master keyed, or keyed alike plus master keyed, which is what the A10KAMK is. The A10 body measures 1-3/4 inch wide with a 1-1/8 inch shackle clearance; step up to the A11 or A12 when you need a different body in the same series.
17) How do these padlocks come packed for a bulk facility order?
The A10KAMK packs 6 per shelf pack and 24 per master carton, which is the count to work from when you are outfitting a storage facility or a locker room and need whole-carton quantities.
18) Does the American Lock A10KAMK retain the key when unlocked, and which comparable padlocks do?
For key retention on a similar hasp application, the Sargent 758 is a key retaining standard padlock in US4 satin brass. The non-key retaining alternatives include the Sargent 858 with a stainless steel shackle, the Sargent 82-856 with a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case, and the Medeco 54515G electronic padlock. Choose key retaining when policy requires the key to stay captive in the lock while the hasp is open.
