American Lock AME-A1106KA BLK 2KEY – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the KA in American Lock A1106KA mean, and will all the locks I order open with the same key?
KA is keyed alike. Every A1106KA in a given order is cut to the same key code, so one key opens the whole batch. That is the point of it for a lockout program: a maintenance lead carries one key instead of a ring. There's a Key Code field on the order, so if you already run an A1106KA code in your facility, give that code and the new locks match your existing set. Need each lock keyed to its own key instead, order the A1106 (A1106KD) keyed different version, or the A1106KZ zero-bitted if your locksmith is going to pin them in house.
2) Will a 1/4 inch shackle padlock fit through my lockout hasp and breaker cleats?
The A1106 aluminum safety padlock has a 1/4 inch diameter shackle with 1 inch of vertical clearance and 25/32 inch between the legs. Standard lockout hasps and most breaker lockout devices take a 1/4 inch shackle, so it drops in. Where it will not go is a thin scissor hasp drilled for 3/16 inch or smaller. If your existing devices are cut that fine, step down to something like the ABUS 72/30, which uses a 3/16 inch shackle.
3) The A1106KA aluminum body will not hold up on a coastal or wash-down opening. What is a heavier-bodied alternative?
Move to a stainless or brass body. The Medeco 521 G8R is a weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body, and the Sargent 858 is a non-key-retaining padlock with a stainless steel shackle in a US4 satin brass finish. The American Lock A1106KA answers corrosion with a black anodized aluminum body and a chrome-plated boron alloy shackle rather than with a stainless body, which is what makes it suitable for food processing lockout. Where the exposure is salt spray or continuous wash-down rather than plant floor lockout, the stainless-bodied 521 G8R is the different construction to look at.
4) What is the closest equivalent to the American Lock A1106KA aluminum safety padlock from another brand?
The ABUS 74/40 insulated safety padlock is the nearest match on the two dimensions that matter for a lockout lock: it carries a 1/4 inch shackle diameter and a 1-1/2 inch body width, the same shackle diameter and body width the A1106KA is built to. The 74/40 runs a 6-pin cylinder, while the A1106KA uses a 5-pin tumbler rekeyable cylinder. The A1106KA body is solid aluminum; the 74/40 is an insulated body. For a safety program standardizing on 1-1/2 inch bodies with 1/4 inch shackles, those two sit in the same slot.
5) I need a smaller lockout padlock than the American Lock A1106KA for a tight enclosure. What should I use?
Step down to the ABUS 72/30 anodized aluminum safety padlock. It has a 1-1/4 inch body width and a 3/16 inch shackle diameter, against the A1106KA's 1-1/2 inch body and 1/4 inch shackle. Both are anodized aluminum safety padlocks, so the corrosion-resistant finish behavior carries over; the 72/30 simply takes up less room across the body and passes through a narrower hasp eye. If the hasp is already drilled for a 1/4 inch shackle, the 72/30's 3/16 inch shackle will still pass, but the A1106KA is the one that fills the opening.
6) Is the Sargent 60-858-2 a drop-in substitute for the American Lock A1106KA?
No, they solve different problems. The Sargent 60-858-2 is a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle, built to accept an interchangeable core so a facility can pull and swap cores on its own keying system. The American Lock A1106KA is a rekeyable 5-pin tumbler padlock supplied keyed alike, with a 1 inch shackle clearance and a 1/4 inch chrome plated boron alloy shackle. If the site is standardized on removable cores, the 60-858-2 is the one that fits that program; if the requirement is a set of same-key safety locks with a short shackle, the A1106KA is built for it. Note also the 2 inch shackle on the Sargent stands well proud of a lockout hasp compared with the A1106KA's 1 inch clearance.
7) Can I get American Lock A1106KA lockout padlocks color coded by trade or by shift?
Nine lockbody colors are made: black, blue, brown, clear, green, orange, purple, red and yellow. That is enough to run a color per craft (electrical, mechanical, contractors) or a color per shift, and each color still carries the same keyed alike code if you order it that way. The body is anodized aluminum, so the color is in the finish rather than a painted coat or a plastic jacket that peels off in a wash down.
8) How many keys come with each American Lock A1106KA padlock, and can I order extras or none at all?
Standard is 2 keys per lock. You can also spec 1, 3 or 4 keys per lock, or 0 keys per lock. Zero keys is the normal choice on a large keyed alike lockout order where the facility already holds the key code and doesn't want dozens of loose duplicates going out on the floor. Three or four per lock suits a crew where every technician carries their own copy.
9) What's the difference between the American Lock A1105, A1106 and A1107 aluminum padlocks?
Same 1-1/2 inch wide aluminum body and same rekeyable 5-pin cylinder across all three. The difference is shackle height: A1105, A1106 and A1107 are the three shackle lengths in the solid aluminum safety lockout family. The A1106 gives 1 inch of clearance under the crossbar. Pick by what you have to loop through, a valve stem or a thick hasp stack wants the taller A1107, a flush breaker cleat is fine on the shorter A1105.
10) Can a locksmith rekey American Lock A1106 padlocks to my existing key system?
The cylinder is a rekeyable 5-pin tumbler, so a locksmith can pin it to a code you already run rather than living with the factory bitting. If you want them shipped unpinned so your shop does the work, order the A1106KZ zero-bitted or A1106UN uncombinated version instead of the KA. If the locks need to sit under a facility master, the A1106KAMK is the keyed alike master keyed version and A1106MK is keyed different under a master.
11) Should lockout padlocks be master keyed, or is that a safety problem?
Depends on your program, and American Lock sells it both ways. Personal danger locks in a LOTO program are normally not master keyed, one worker one key, which is why the plain A1106KA keyed alike or the keyed different A1106 exist. Group lockout boxes and equipment locks controlled by maintenance are where a master gets used, and for that the A1106KAMK is keyed alike under a master and the A1106MK is keyed different under a master. Same 1-1/2 inch aluminum body either way.
12) What should I use instead of an aluminum safety padlock for an outdoor gate or exposed job site?
The A1106 is built as a safety lockout padlock, aluminum body, 1/4 inch boron shackle, sized for hasps and breaker devices rather than for a gate chain. For weather exposed security work look at the Medeco 521 G8R weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body, or the Sargent 858 with its stainless steel shackle. If you need a heavier shackle than 1/4 inch, the Schlage KS23D/KS23F brass padlock runs a 5/16 inch shackle and the Medeco 5260 brass body runs 7/16 inch.
13) Can I put American Lock A1106KA padlocks on a small format interchangeable core system?
No. The A1106 uses a rekeyable 5-pin tumbler cylinder that a locksmith pins in the lock, not a removable core. If your facility is standardized on interchangeable cores so you can pull and swap a core without a pinning kit, look at the Sargent 60-858-2 removable core padlock, which takes a core and has a 2 inch stainless steel shackle.
14) What looks like an aluminum safety padlock but is not the same thing as the American Lock A1106KA?
The ABUS 76/40 is the one that gets mistaken for it. It is a plastic-covered aluminum core padlock with a 1/4 inch shackle diameter and a 1 37/64 inch width, so on paper the shackle matches the A1106KA's 1/4 inch shackle and the widths are close. The construction is different: the 76/40 puts a plastic cover over an aluminum core, while the A1106KA is a solid aluminum body with a black anodized finish, which is the finish that suits it to food processing lockout. If a wash-down or food contact area is driving the spec, the anodized solid body and the plastic-covered core are not interchangeable choices.
15) I need a padlock on a high-security or restricted keyway instead of the American Lock A1106KA. What are the options?
Two directions. The Medeco 5260 is a 52 Series brass body padlock with a 7/16 inch shackle diameter and M3 key technology in satin chrome, and the Sargent 82-856 is a non-key-retaining padlock on the KESO Series with a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case and stainless steel shackle. Both are heavier brass-bodied locks on proprietary key systems. The American Lock A1106KA is a rekeyable 5-pin tumbler lock in an aluminum body supplied keyed alike, which is what suits it to issuing a matched set of safety locks rather than to a restricted key program. Note the Medeco 5260's 7/16 inch shackle needs a much larger hasp eye than the A1106KA's 1/4 inch shackle.
16) Does the American Lock A1106KA retain the key when it is opened, and which comparable padlocks do?
Key retention is the detail that decides a lockout program, and the comparable padlocks split on it. The Sargent 758 is key retaining, so the key cannot be removed while the lock is open - that is what forces a worker to leave the key in the lock and prevents an unattended open padlock. The Sargent 858 and the Medeco 54515G XT are non-key-retaining. The American Lock A1106KA is supplied keyed alike with a rekeyable 5-pin tumbler cylinder and can be ordered with 0, 1, 3, or 4 keys per lock, or the standard 2. Where a safety program requires the key to stay captive in the open lock, the Sargent 758's key retaining function is the one written on that spec.
17) Can I use the Schlage KS23D/KS23F in place of the American Lock A1106KA on the same hasp?
Check the hasp eye first. The Schlage KS23D/KS23F is a brass padlock with a 5/16 inch diameter shackle, where the American Lock A1106KA carries a 1/4 inch shackle. A hasp drilled or slotted for the A1106KA's 1/4 inch shackle will not necessarily take the Schlage's 5/16 inch shackle, so this is not an assume-and-order swap. The other difference is body material: the Schlage is brass, and the A1106KA is a solid aluminum body with a black anodized finish and a chrome plated boron alloy shackle.
18) We want padlocks tied to an electronic audit trail rather than mechanical keys like the American Lock A1106KA. What replaces it?
The Medeco 54515G XT is the electronic indoor/outdoor padlock in the set, non-key-retaining, with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter and supplied with a cylinder. It is an electronic credential lock rather than a mechanical one. The American Lock A1106KA is a mechanical rekeyable 5-pin tumbler padlock supplied keyed alike, which is what makes it straightforward to hand a single key to a crew. If the requirement is knowing who opened which lock and when, that is the 54515G's territory, not the A1106KA's. The 5/16 inch shackle on the Medeco is also larger than the A1106KA's 1/4 inch, so confirm the hasp before swapping.
19) Which padlock lets me color-code locks by trade or by worker, the American Lock A1106KA or the ABUS options?
The American Lock A1106KA is the one built around color-coding: the lockbody comes in black, blue, brown, clear, green, orange, purple, red, and yellow, so each trade, shift, or authorized worker can carry a distinct body color on a common keyed-alike system. The ABUS 72/30 is an anodized aluminum safety padlock and the ABUS T84MB/30 is a black sleeve Nautic padlock with a 13/64 inch shackle diameter and 1 17/64 inch body width. For a lockout program that assigns a color per department, the A1106KA's nine body colors are what that program is written around.
20) I need a longer shackle than the American Lock A1106KA gives me to get around a thick hasp or a valve handle. What has more clearance?
Look at the Sargent 60-858-2, a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle. The American Lock A1106KA is built with a 1 inch shackle clearance on a 1/4 inch chrome plated boron alloy shackle, which is sized to sit tight against a standard lockout hasp. Where the shackle has to reach around a gate valve handle or stack through several tags, the Sargent's 2 inch shackle gives the reach. The trade is construction: the 60-858-2 is a removable core lock, while the A1106KA is a rekeyable 5-pin tumbler supplied keyed alike. The A1106KA can also be ordered with a #40 sash chain, 9 inches long, zinc plated, which is another way to bridge a distance the shackle will not.
21) Can I get a lockout padlock with a chain attached so it doesn't get lost?
Yes. The A1106 can be ordered with a #40 sash chain, 9 inches (229mm) long, zinc plated, or with no chain at all. The chain keeps the lock tethered to the gate, cage or panel it belongs to instead of walking off in someone's pocket. If you're issuing the lock to a person rather than a piece of equipment, take the NONE option.
22) How many American Lock A1106KA padlocks come in a case?
Shelf pack is 6 and the master carton holds 24. Useful if you're standardizing a facility and want to order in whole cartons rather than eaches, 24 keyed alike locks off one code covers a decent sized plant program.
23) Is the American Lock A1106 padlock strong enough for security, or is it just a lockout tag lock?
It's built for lockout tagout first, but the shackle is not token hardware. Chrome plated boron alloy at 1/4 inch diameter gives real cut resistance, which is more than the plastic and light aluminum bodies common in LOTO. The 1-1/2 inch aluminum body is rated commercial. Where it stops being the right lock is high value asset security, a 1/4 inch shackle is a bolt cutter target, and a solid brass or stainless body such as the Sargent 758 or the Medeco 5260 is the direction to go for that.
24) What is the difference between the American Lock A1106KA and the ABUS T84MB/30 for outdoor use?
The ABUS T84MB/30 is a Nautic padlock with a black sleeve, a 13/64 inch shackle diameter, and a 1 17/64 inch body width. The American Lock A1106KA runs a heavier 1/4 inch chrome plated boron alloy shackle on a 1-1/2 inch wide solid aluminum body with a corrosion resistant anodized finish. The T84MB/30 is the narrower body and the thinner shackle of the two; the A1106KA is the wider body with the boron alloy shackle specified for cut resistance. Both address exposure, one through a protective sleeve and one through an anodized aluminum body.
