American Lock AME-A1105KZ BLK 2KEY – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does zero-bitted mean on the American Lock A1105KZ padlock, and do I need a keying machine to use it?
Zero-bitted means the A1105KZ ships with the cylinder assembled but not cut to any key combination, so it will not operate until a locksmith bits it to your system. It is a rekeyable 5-pin tumbler cylinder, so you pin it to your own keyway and bitting. If you don't cut keys in-house, the A1105 body is also sold keyed different (A1105 / A1105KD), keyed alike (A1105KA), and master keyed (A1105MK, A1105KAMK), and those arrive operating on factory keys.
2) Will a 1/4 inch shackle fit through my lockout hasp or breaker cleat?
The shackle is 1/4 inch (6mm) diameter with 1 inch (25mm) of vertical clearance and 25/32 inch inside width, and the body is 1-1/2 inch (38mm) wide. That 1/4 inch diameter is the common size standard lockout hasps and most breaker lockout devices are drilled for. Where the 1 inch clearance runs short is thick stacked hasps or multiple tags, so measure the stack height you need to pass through.
3) What colors does the A1105KZ aluminum padlock come in for color-coding a lockout program by trade?
Nine body colors: black, blue, brown, clear, green, orange, purple, red and yellow. That is enough to assign a color per trade or per shift across a facility, and the model numbers follow the color (A1105KZBLK black, A1105KZBLU blue, A1105KZRED red, A1105KZYLW yellow, and so on). Every color is the same 1-1/2 inch wide aluminum body with the same 1/4 inch boron shackle, so one key system covers the whole set once they are bitted.
4) How many keys come with each lock, and can I order it with no keys at all?
Key count is an option on the order: 0 keys per lock, 1, 3, 4, or the standard 2 keys per lock. Because the A1105KZ is zero-bitted and arrives uncut, shops cutting their own keys commonly take the 0-key option and supply blanks from their own stock. Order 1 key per lock for true one-key-one-lock lockout discipline, where a second key defeats the point.
5) Is an aluminum lockout padlock the right choice for an outdoor gate or a weather-exposed padlock application?
For lockout/tagout on equipment the A1105KZ aluminum body is the right tool: light, color-coded, anodized, and rekeyable. It is built as a safety lockout padlock, not a security padlock for an exposed gate. For outdoor and weather-exposed work, look at a solid body padlock instead, like the Medeco 521 G8R weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body, or the Sargent 858 with a stainless steel shackle. Those are heavier-bodied locks meant to stay on a gate, not to be carried by a technician.
6) What is the closest ABUS equivalent to the American Lock A1105KZ aluminum safety padlock?
The ABUS 74/40 insulated safety padlock is the nearest match on the two dimensions that decide whether a lockout padlock fits a hasp: it lists a 1/4 inch shackle diameter and a 1-1/2 inch body width, the same shackle diameter and body width the A1105KZ carries. The differences are in the cylinder and the body construction. The 74/40 is a 6-pin cylinder, while the A1105KZ is a 5-pin rekeyable cylinder supplied zero-bitted, so the 74/40 arrives on an ABUS keying system and the A1105KZ arrives with no bitting cut and gets keyed to your own system by your locksmith. The 74/40 body is insulated; the A1105KZ body is solid aluminum with an anodized finish. If your lockout program is standardized on your own keyway and you cut your own bitting, the A1105KZ is the one that accepts that; if you buy locks pre-keyed to a factory system, the 74/40 is the direct swap.
7) Is the ABUS 72/30 a substitute for the American Lock A1105KZ lockout padlock?
They are both anodized aluminum safety padlocks, but they are not interchangeable in a hasp. The ABUS 72/30 lists a 1-1/4 inch body width and a 3/16 inch shackle diameter. The A1105KZ is 1-1/2 inch wide with a 1/4 inch shackle diameter. That 3/16 inch shackle will pass through any hasp or lockout hasp eye that takes the 1/4 inch A1105KZ shackle, but the reverse is not true - if your facility's hasps and group lockout hasps were drilled or specified around the 3/16 inch shackle, the A1105KZ will not enter them. Confirm the hasp eye before substituting in either direction. The narrower 72/30 body also means fewer locks fit on a crowded group lockout hasp jaw than a 1-1/2 inch body would allow, which matters when six or eight technicians lock out one energy source.
8) For an outdoor gate or exterior enclosure, what should I use instead of the American Lock A1105KZ?
The A1105KZ is an aluminum-bodied safety lockout padlock, built around color-coded lockout tagout use with a 1 inch shackle clearance and a 1/4 inch shackle. For a weather-exposed gate, the Medeco 521 G8R is the purpose-built alternative: it is a weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body, supplied less the pop-out cylinder so the cylinder is specified separately to your keyway. The Sargent 60-858-2 is another exterior option, a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle - the 2 inch shackle spans chain links, thick hasps and gate latch loops that the 1 inch clearance on the A1105KZ will not reach, and the removable core lets a facility rekey the lock by pulling the core rather than rebitting a cylinder. Keep the A1105KZ where its aluminum body and color coding are doing work: lockout tagout inside food processing and similar washdown environments.
9) Can I use an aluminum safety padlock in a food processing plant washdown area?
The A1105KZ uses a black anodized aluminum body, and the anodized finish is what makes it suitable for lockout in food processing facilities and corrosion resistant for tough environments. The shackle is chrome plated boron alloy, not bare steel. For a sealed or insulated alternative, the ABUS 76/40 is a plastic-covered aluminum core padlock with the same 1/4 inch shackle diameter, and the ABUS 74/40 is an insulated safety padlock, also 1/4 inch shackle and 1-1/2 inch body.
10) Is there a way to get this padlock with a chain so it stays attached to the equipment?
Yes. The chain axis offers a #40 sash chain, 9 inch (229mm) long, zinc plated, or NONE if you don't want one. The chain keeps the lock tethered to a valve, gate, or panel so it isn't pocketed or lost between lockouts. If your locks live on a board or on personal lockout belts, take the NONE option.
11) What is the difference between the American Lock A1105, A1106 and A1107?
They are the same 1-1/2 inch (38mm) wide solid aluminum body with a boron alloy shackle; the number steps the shackle. The A1105 is the 1 inch (25mm) clearance version. A1106 and A1107 are the longer-shackle members of the same family, so if the 1 inch clearance on the A1105 will not reach over your hasp or through a gate link, step up to the A1106 or A1107. Each of the three is sold in the same keying options, including zero-bitted KZ.
12) What is the difference between the American Lock A1105KZ and the Sargent 758 or 858 padlock?
The A1105KZ is a solid aluminum safety lockout padlock, 1-1/2 inch wide with a 1/4 inch boron alloy shackle, and it comes in nine lockbody colors - black, blue, brown, clear, green, orange, purple, red and yellow - so each trade or each technician gets a distinct color on a group lockout. The Sargent 758 is a key retaining standard padlock in a US4 satin brass finish, and the Sargent 858 is the non-key retaining version with a stainless steel shackle in the same US4 satin brass. Key retaining, as on the 758, means the key cannot be withdrawn while the lock is open - that is the behavior a facility wants when a key must never leave the lock hanging on a door. For lockout tagout the retaining behavior is usually the wrong one and the color coding is the point, which is where the A1105KZ sits. For a brass-finish security padlock on a cabinet or storage door on a Sargent keyway, the 758 or 858 is the right family.
13) I need a padlock that reports who opened it and when - can the American Lock A1105KZ do that?
No. The A1105KZ is a mechanical 5-pin tumbler rekeyable padlock supplied zero-bitted, with no audit capability. For access records, the Medeco 54515G is the electronic option in this class: an XT electronic indoor/outdoor padlock, non-key retaining, with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter, supplied with cylinder. Note the shackle steps up from the 1/4 inch on the A1105KZ to 5/16 inch, so verify the hasp eye accepts the larger shackle before you specify it. These serve different jobs - the A1105KZ is the color-coded personal lockout lock a technician applies and removes on a permit, while the 54515G suits gates, meters and remote assets where you need to know which credential opened the lock.
14) Which padlock do I choose if I want a high security keyway instead of the American Lock A1105KZ standard cylinder?
The A1105KZ ships zero-bitted on a 5-pin tumbler rekeyable cylinder, which a locksmith cuts to a standard keyway of your choosing. If the requirement is a patented or restricted key system, look at the Medeco 5260, a 52 Series brass body padlock with a 7/16 inch shackle diameter and M3 key technology in a satin chrome finish, or the Sargent 82-856, a non-key retaining padlock on the KESO system with a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case and a stainless steel shackle. Both step well up in shackle and body from the 1-1/2 inch aluminum body and 1/4 inch shackle of the A1105KZ, so they are not a drop-in on a lockout hasp - they are for the doors, gates and cages where key control is the requirement rather than technician color coding.
15) Can I use the Schlage KS23D brass padlock in place of the American Lock A1105KZ on a lockout point?
Check the hasp first. The Schlage KS23D/KS23F is a brass padlock with a 5/16 inch diameter shackle, larger than the 1/4 inch shackle on the A1105KZ, so it will not enter a lockout hasp or scissor hasp sized to the American Lock shackle. Beyond the fit, the two are built for different duties. The A1105KZ is a safety lockout padlock in an anodized aluminum body offered in nine lockbody colors, which is what supports per-trade or per-technician identification on a group lockout. The KS23D/KS23F is a brass-bodied padlock for general keyed security. If the padlock is going on an energy isolation point, stay with the aluminum lockout body; if it is securing a cabinet, cage or utility box on a Schlage keyway, the KS23D/KS23F is the fit.
16) Which padlock lets a facility rekey locks in house without a locksmith cutting keys?
Two different answers depending on how your shop is set up. The American Lock A1105KZ arrives zero-bitted on a 5-pin tumbler rekeyable cylinder, meaning no bitting is cut at the factory - a shop with a key machine and pinning kit cuts it to an existing house key or master system, and can rebit it later when a key walks off. The Sargent 60-858-2 takes the other approach: it is a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle, so rekeying is pulling the core with a control key and dropping in a new one, no pinning at the bench. Choose zero-bitted if you already pin your own cylinders and want the lock on your existing keyway; choose removable core if your facility is already standardized on interchangeable cores and swaps them as a stocked item.
17) Can I order a few American Lock A1105KZ padlocks, or do I have to buy a full case?
It breaks down below case quantity. The shelf pack is 6 and the master carton is 24, so a small property or maintenance shop can take a 6-pack in one color rather than committing to a full carton. Facilities standardizing a color per trade across multiple buildings usually buy by the 24-piece carton per color.
18) Is the A1105KZ a commercial-duty padlock or a consumer lock?
Commercial. The A1105KZ is specified as a commercial product and is built for lockout/tagout and food processing duty, with a boron alloy shackle chosen for cut resistance rather than a plain hardened steel one. The rekeyable 5-pin cylinder is what lets an institutional or MRO buyer fold it into an existing facility key system instead of managing loose factory keys.
19) What is a lighter duty alternative to the American Lock A1105KZ for low security tagging?
The ABUS T84MB/30 Nautic is the lighter option in this group: a black sleeve padlock with a 13/64 inch shackle diameter and a 1-17/64 inch body width, supplied in a three-pack. Both the shackle and the body are smaller than the A1105KZ, which runs a 1/4 inch shackle in a 1-1/2 inch wide body. The T84MB/30 suits locker doors, tool chests, small cabinets and outdoor tie-down points where the padlock marks the closure rather than resists attack. It should not stand in for the A1105KZ on an energy isolation point - the A1105KZ is a safety lockout padlock, and its 1/4 inch boron alloy shackle and color-coded anodized body are what a lockout tagout program is specifying.
