American Lock AME-A11KD 2KEY – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the American Lock A11 padlock fit through a 3/4 inch hasp opening?
The A11 has a 5/16 inch diameter shackle with a 3/4 inch clearance between the shackle legs, and 2 inches of vertical shackle height. So the shackle passes through any hasp eye or chain link that accepts a 5/16 inch bar, and the 3/4 inch inside width is what limits how thick a hasp staple or door lug it can straddle. Body width is 1-3/4 inches, which matters on recessed hasps where the lock body has to sit in a pocket.
2) Can the A11 padlock be rekeyed if a tenant loses a key?
No. The A11 uses a non-rekeyable 5-pin APTC12 cylinder, so there is no field rekeying. Keying has to be specified at the factory when you order. If a key goes missing on a self-storage unit or locker, you replace the lock rather than repin it. If you need a lock you can rekey or re-core in house, look at a removable core padlock such as the Sargent 60-858-2.
3) What is the difference between the American Lock A11KD, A11KA and A11MK?
Same A11 lock, different keying. A11 (A11KD) is keyed different, so every lock has its own key, which is what you want for individual storage units or lockers. A11KA is keyed alike, one key opens the whole batch. A11MK is keyed different but master keyed, and A11KAMK is keyed alike under a master. If a supervisor or manager needs one key that opens everything while users keep their own, order an MK version, not the plain KD.
4) What padlock has the same 5/16 inch shackle diameter as the American Lock A11 but can be keyed into an existing key system?
The American Lock A11 uses a 5/16 inch diameter shackle with a non-rekeyable cylinder, so its keying is set at the factory. The Schlage KS23D/KS23F brass padlock also carries a 5/16 inch diameter shackle and is built on the Schlage 20 Series, and the Medeco 54515G XT electronic padlock is another 5/16 inch shackle option in a non-key-retaining configuration. If the requirement is a padlock that ties into a facility key system rather than one keyed at the factory, the Sargent 60-858-2 removable core padlock takes an interchangeable core and also uses a 2 inch shackle, matching the A11 shackle length.
5) The A11 aluminum padlock is for a washdown area - what padlock should I use instead for a fully corrosion-proof body?
The American Lock A11 has a solid aluminum body, 1-3/4 inch wide, which is why it gets specified for corrosive environments. If the application calls for a different material entirely, the Medeco 521 G8R is a weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body, and the ABUS 76/40 uses a plastic-covered aluminum core with a 1/4 inch shackle diameter. Sargent's 858 uses a stainless steel shackle with a US4 satin brass body. All three trade the A11's solid aluminum construction for a different body material.
6) What padlock should I use instead of the American Lock A11 if the key must stay captive while the lock is open?
The American Lock A11 is a non-rekeyable padlock with a 5-pin APTC12 cylinder and a 2 inch shackle. For a key-retaining requirement, the Sargent 758 is a key retaining standard padlock in a US4 satin brass finish. By contrast, the Sargent 858 and the Sargent 82-856, which has a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case with a stainless steel shackle, are both non-key-retaining, as is the Medeco 54515G.
7) Is an aluminum body padlock good enough for outdoor or washdown use?
That is what the A11 is built for. The solid aluminum body will not rust, the boron alloy steel shackle is plated for corrosion resistance, and American Lock calls it out for corrosive environments and manufacturing plants. Aluminum is also lighter than a brass or stainless body of the same size. For a fully weather-sealed lock in a wash-down or marine spot, a stainless body like the Medeco 521 G8R weather-tight padlock is the heavier-duty route.
8) How many keys come with the American Lock A11 and can I order it without keys?
Keys per lock is something you pick. Standard is 2 keys per lock, and the A11 can also be ordered with 1, 3, or 4 keys, or with 0 keys per lock for facilities that already hold a key stock or want keys shipped separately under their key control program.
9) Can I get the A11 padlock with a chain attached for gates or equipment?
Yes. The A11 is available with a #40 sash chain, 9 inches (229mm) long, zinc plated, or with no chain at all. The chain option keeps the lock tethered to the hasp or gate so it does not walk off between uses, which is common on shared equipment and utility gates.
10) Is the American Lock A11 a safety lockout padlock for LOTO use?
The A11 is a grey solid aluminum commercial padlock aimed at self-storage units, lockers and manufacturing environments, with key control through American Lock's Edge program. If you specifically need color-coded safety lockout padlocks for employee LOTO identification, an anodized aluminum safety padlock such as the ABUS 72/30 or the insulated ABUS 74/40 is the purpose-built choice.
11) Is an ABUS 72/30 aluminum padlock a direct substitute for the American Lock A11?
They are not interchangeable on size. The American Lock A11 has a 1-3/4 inch wide body and a 5/16 inch diameter shackle, while the ABUS 72/30 is an anodized aluminum safety padlock with a 1-1/4 inch body width and a 3/16 inch shackle diameter. The 72/30 is a lockout/tagout style safety lock in the ABUS 72 Series; the narrower shackle passes through smaller hasps and lockout devices, while the A11's 5/16 inch shackle needs a hasp sized for it.
12) We use American Lock A11 padlocks on lockers - what brass-body alternative is comparable?
The American Lock A11 pairs a 1-3/4 inch solid aluminum body with a 5/16 inch zinc plated boron shackle. In brass, the Schlage KS23D/KS23F is a brass padlock with the same 5/16 inch shackle diameter, and the Medeco 5260 is a 52 Series brass body padlock in satin chrome with a heavier 7/16 inch shackle diameter and M3 key technology. The Medeco 5260's larger shackle requires a hasp opening bigger than what the A11 needs.
13) Is the ABUS 74/40 or T84MB/30 an equivalent to the American Lock A11?
Neither matches it. The ABUS 74/40 is an insulated safety padlock with a 6-pin cylinder, 1-1/2 inch body width and 1/4 inch shackle diameter, and the ABUS T84MB/30 Nautic is a black sleeve padlock with a 13/64 inch shackle and 1-17/64 inch body sold in a set of three. The American Lock A11 is wider at 1-3/4 inches with a 5/16 inch shackle and a non-rekeyable 5-pin cylinder, so any hasp drilled for the A11 shackle will be oversized for either ABUS lock.
14) How does the A11 differ from the American Lock A10 and A12?
The A10, A11 and A12 are the same solid aluminum non-rekeyable family, differing in size class. The A11 is the 1-3/4 inch wide body with a 2 inch tall, 5/16 inch diameter shackle. Order one model across a site so the locks and keyways stay consistent on your key records.
15) Does the A11 padlock ship in bulk quantities for a self-storage or facility rollout?
Yes. The A11 comes 6 to a shelf pack and 24 to a master carton, so large keyed-different orders for storage units, lockers or plant lockout stations work out in even multiples of 6.
