American Lock AME-A1105KA BLK 2KEY – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does keyed alike mean on the American Lock A1105KA, and how do I get multiple padlocks that all open with the same key?
Keyed alike means every A1105KA on the order operates from one key, so a maintenance tech carries a single key for the whole set of locks instead of a ring. The A1105 aluminum body is offered in several keying arrangements: A1105KD keyed different, A1105KA keyed alike, A1105KZ zero-bitted, A1105UN uncombinated, A1105MK keyed different master keyed, and A1105KAMK keyed alike master keyed. If you are adding to an existing keyed alike group, supply the key code on the order so the new locks match what you already have in the field.
2) Will the American Lock A1105KA fit through a standard lockout hasp or a breaker cleat?
Shackle geometry is what decides that. The A1105KA has a 1/4 inch diameter shackle with 1 inch of vertical clearance and 25/32 inch of shackle width, so it passes any hasp eye or breaker lockout hole that accepts a 1/4 inch shank with at least an inch of stack under it. On a group lockout hasp with six or more holes, that 1/4 inch shank is the normal size those hasps are drilled for. The body itself is 1-1/2 inch wide, which is what determines whether several of these will sit side by side on a crowded hasp.
3) Can the A1105KA be rekeyed later, or am I stuck with the factory key?
It is rekeyable. The A1105 uses a 5-pin tumbler rekeyable cylinder, so a locksmith or an in-house shop can repin it to your own bitting or bring it into an existing key system rather than scrapping the lock. That is the practical difference between this and a sealed lockout padlock: when a key walks off site, you repin instead of replacing the fleet.
4) Do I have to give a key code when ordering the A1105KA keyed alike padlock?
Yes. Keyed alike locks have to be cut to a specific bitting, so the order takes a key code entry. Give the code from the locks you already have in service if you are expanding a set; if this is a new group, the code establishes the group so future reorders match it. Without it there is nothing tying your second order to your first.
5) I need a padlock that takes our facility's removable core - is the American Lock A1105KA the right one?
The A1105KA uses a 5-pin tumbler rekeyable cylinder, which is rekeyed at the bench rather than swapped by pulling a core. If the facility is standardized on interchangeable core so any lock can be recored by the in-house locksmith, the Sargent 60-858-2 removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle is the one built for that. It is a brass-and-stainless padlock rather than a colored aluminum lockout lock, so it suits gates, cages and storage rather than a color-coded lockout/tagout program.
6) What is the closest aluminum safety padlock to the American Lock A1105KA if I need a smaller body?
The A1105KA has a 1-1/2 inch wide solid aluminum body with a 1/4 inch diameter shackle. If the hasp or lockout point is tight, the ABUS 72/30 anodized aluminum safety padlock steps down to a 1-1/4 inch body width with a 3/16 inch shackle diameter. Both are anodized aluminum safety padlocks, so the material and the lockout/tagout use are the same; the difference is body width and shackle diameter. Confirm the hasp staple accepts a 3/16 inch shackle before switching, since a thinner shackle sits loose in a hole drilled for 1/4 inch.
7) Which safety padlock matches the American Lock A1105KA body width and shackle diameter exactly?
The ABUS 74/40 insulated safety padlock is built on a 1-1/2 inch body width with a 1/4 inch shackle diameter, the same two dimensions the A1105KA carries. The 74/40 uses a 6-pin cylinder and an insulated body, where the A1105KA runs a 5-pin rekeyable cylinder in a solid anodized aluminum body. For an electrical lockout program that wants a non-conductive body, the 74/40 is the dimensional match; for a food processing wash-down environment the anodized aluminum of the A1105KA is the one specified.
8) What should I use instead of the American Lock A1105KA if the shackle clearance is too short?
The A1105KA gives 1 inch of shackle clearance, which covers a standard lockout hasp or a padlock eye. Where the shackle has to reach through a thicker hasp, a chain link or a stacked pair of tabs, the Sargent 60-858-2 and the Sargent 82-856 both carry a 2 inch stainless steel shackle. The 82-856 is non-key-retaining with a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case. Measure the total thickness the shackle must clear plus the staple diameter before choosing.
9) Is the A1105KA aluminum padlock safe to use in a food processing plant washdown area?
The A1105 body is solid aluminum with a black anodized finish, and American Lock states the anodized finish makes it suitable for lockout in food processing facilities and corrosion resistant for tough environments. Aluminum plus anodizing is why it goes into wet and sanitation areas where a plated steel body would rust out. Note that only the black option is described as anodized aluminum; the color range runs black, blue, brown, clear, green, orange, purple, red and yellow.
10) Can I color code A1105KA padlocks by trade or by shift for our lockout tagout program?
Yes, and that is the usual reason people buy this one. The A1105 aluminum lockout padlock comes in nine body colors: black, blue, brown, clear, green, orange, purple, red and yellow. Facilities typically assign a color per craft (electrical, mechanical, contractor) or per shift so a supervisor can read the hasp from across the room. Since these are keyed alike, plan the color split and the keying together, one key group per color if each trade needs its own key.
11) How many keys come with each American Lock A1105KA padlock, and can I order them with no keys at all?
Standard is 2 keys per lock. You can also specify 1 key per lock, 3 keys per lock, 4 keys per lock, or 0 keys per lock. Zero keys is what a safety manager orders when the plant already holds the key group and does not want loose duplicates circulating on the floor, which is standard practice for personal lockout locks.
12) Can I get the American Lock A1105 lockout padlock with a chain attached so it stays with the panel?
A chain option is available: a #40 sash chain, 9 inches long, zinc plated, or you can take the lock with no chain. The chain keeps the padlock tethered to the equipment or the lockout station so it does not walk off between shifts. Pick NONE if your program issues each worker a personal lock they carry.
13) Is a boron shackle worth it over a standard steel lockout padlock shackle?
The A1105 shackle is chrome plated boron alloy, which American Lock specifies for cut resistance. That matters where a lockout lock is also acting as security, an outdoor gate valve, a yard disconnect, a contractor tool crib. Boron resists bolt cutters far better than the plain steel or plastic shackles used on lockout-only locks. If you are locking out an indoor panel and want a nonconductive shackle instead, that is a different tool: the ABUS 74/40 insulated safety padlock uses a 1/4 inch shackle on a 1-1/2 inch body like this one, in an insulated design.
14) What is the difference between the American Lock A1105, A1106 and A1107?
They are the same 1-1/2 inch solid aluminum body with a boron shackle; the number identifies the shackle. The A1105 carries a 1 inch shackle clearance, and A1106 and A1107 are the longer-shackle members of the same aluminum lockout family. Each of the three is sold in the full keying spread, keyed different, keyed alike, zero-bitted, uncombinated and master keyed. Choose by how much clearance you need to get through the hasp or over the valve handle.
15) I need a padlock for an outdoor gate or exterior equipment, not lockout tagout. Is the aluminum A1105 the right choice?
The A1105 is built as a safety lockout padlock, aluminum bodied and corrosion resistant, so it holds up outdoors, but the body is aluminum, not steel or stainless. For a straight exterior security padlock, look at a solid stainless body instead: the Medeco 521 G8R weather-tight padlock has a solid stainless steel body, and Sargent's 758 and 858 series padlocks use stainless steel shackles. Use the A1105 where you want a light, color-coded, rekeyable lock on energy isolation points.
16) What else could I buy instead of the American Lock A1105 aluminum safety padlock?
Closest match on size is the ABUS 74/40 insulated safety padlock, same 1/4 inch shackle diameter and 1-1/2 inch body width, with a 6-pin cylinder rather than the American Lock 5-pin. For a smaller footprint on a crowded hasp, the ABUS 72/30 anodized aluminum safety padlock is 1-1/4 inch wide with a 3/16 inch shackle. The ABUS 76/40 is a plastic-covered aluminum core lock, 1/4 inch shackle, 1 37/64 inch wide, if you want a nonmetallic outer body. What none of those match is the A1105 keying spread and the rekeyable 5-pin cylinder if you are folding the locks into an existing key system.
17) Is the ABUS 76/40 a substitute for the American Lock A1105KA?
They look alike on a shelf and both run a 1/4 inch shackle diameter, but the construction differs. The ABUS 76/40 is a plastic-covered aluminum core padlock at 1-37/64 inch width; the A1105KA is a solid anodized aluminum body at 1-1/2 inch wide. That matters in food processing, where the A1105KA anodized finish is the stated fit and a plastic cover is another surface to clean around. If the plastic jacket is wanted for scratch protection on painted equipment, the 76/40 is the one to order; for a wash-down or corrosive area, stay with the solid anodized body.
18) Can I get an American Lock A1105KA equivalent that logs who opened it?
No mechanical padlock records access, and the A1105KA is a 5-pin tumbler mechanical rekeyable lock. Where an audit trail is required - a utility cabinet, a remote site, a contractor-accessed enclosure - the Medeco 54515G XT is an electronic indoor/outdoor padlock with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter, supplied with a cylinder and non-key-retaining. Note the 5/16 inch shackle is thicker than the 1/4 inch on the A1105KA, so the hasp must accept the larger staple.
19) Does the key stay in the lock when it is open? Which padlock do I order if I need the opposite behavior?
Key retention decides whether a worker can walk away with the key while the lock hangs open. The Sargent 758 is key retaining, so the key cannot be withdrawn while the shackle is unlocked; the Sargent 858 and the Sargent 82-856 are non-key-retaining and release the key in either position. Both Sargent 758 and 858 come in US4 satin brass. On a lockout/tagout program the A1105KA is ordered keyed alike so one key serves a crew, and it can be supplied with 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4 keys per lock to match how the key control is run.
20) What is the difference between the American Lock A1105KA and a brass body padlock like the Medeco 5260 or Schlage KS23D?
Body material and shackle size are the working differences. The A1105KA is aluminum with a 1/4 inch shackle diameter and a 1-1/2 inch body. The Medeco 5260 is a brass body padlock with a 7/16 inch shackle diameter using M3 key technology in satin chrome, and the Schlage KS23D/KS23F is a brass padlock with a 5/16 inch diameter shackle. Brass bodies with heavier shackles are specified where the padlock secures a fixed opening; the aluminum body of the A1105KA is chosen where it is color-coded per worker and hung on equipment.
21) How do these ship, and how many do I get in a box if I am buying for a whole plant?
The A1105 aluminum padlocks come 6 to a shelf pack and 24 to a master carton. For a multi-building rollout that means ordering in 24s lands you full cartons per color, which keeps the color coded key groups from getting mixed up in receiving.
22) Is a marine or corrosion-rated padlock like the ABUS T84MB/30 an alternative for lockout use?
The ABUS T84MB/30 Nautic is a black sleeve padlock with a 13/64 inch shackle diameter and a 1-17/64 inch body width, sized for lighter duty than the A1105KA at 1-1/2 inch wide with a 1/4 inch shackle. The A1105KA is built for lockout/tagout with a color-coded body offered in black, blue, brown, clear, green, orange, purple, red and yellow, which is how a crew identifies whose lock is on the energy isolation point. A single-color sleeve lock does not support that identification scheme.
23) We buy padlocks by the case for a multi-site MRO program - how does the American Lock A1105KA compare to the Sargent 758 for standardizing?
The A1105KA standardizes on quantity and keying: it ships 6 to a shelf pack and 24 to a master carton, is ordered keyed alike so one key opens every lock in a group, and the 5-pin cylinder is rekeyable in house as the program changes. The Sargent 758 standardizes on finish and key control instead, arriving in US4 satin brass and key retaining. For a lockout program run across several plants, the keyed alike aluminum lock is the one that scales by crew and color; for keyed openings tied to a facility master system, the brass Sargent body is the fit.
