American Lock AME-A1106KZ BLK 2KEY – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does zero-bitted mean on the American Lock A1106KZ padlock, and do I need a key machine to use it?
Zero-bitted means the A1106KZ ships with its 5-pin rekeyable cylinder set to no working combination, so you set the key code yourself. You need the key blanks, a code cutting or duplicating machine, and the pinning kit to bit it before the lock will open. If you don't run a shop with that capability, order one of the factory-keyed versions of the same aluminum body instead: A1106KD keyed different, A1106KA keyed alike, or A1106KAMK keyed alike master keyed. Locksmiths and security integrators buy the KZ so a lockout fleet can be pinned into an existing keyway and master system.
2) Will an American Lock A1106KZ aluminum padlock fit through a standard lockout hasp?
The shackle is 1/4 inch diameter with 1 inch of vertical clearance and 25/32 inch between the legs, and the body is 1-1/2 inch wide. That 1/4 inch diameter passes the hole on the common scissor-style group lockout hasps and most breaker and valve lockout devices, which are sized for 1/4 inch shackles. Where it will not work is a thick multi-layer hasp stack or a heavy chain link, because 1 inch of clearance is short. Measure the total thickness the shackle has to clear first.
3) What other brands of aluminum safety padlock work with the same 1/4 inch lockout hardware?
Two peers match the A1106KZ on shackle diameter, so they pass through the same hasps and lockout devices: the ABUS 74/40 insulated safety padlock, 1/4 inch shackle diameter and 1-1/2 inch body width with a 6-pin cylinder, and the ABUS 76/40 plastic-covered aluminum core padlock, also 1/4 inch shackle. The ABUS 72/30 is the one to watch out for, its shackle is 3/16 inch on a 1-1/4 inch body, so it is a smaller lock that will not interchange one-for-one in a fleet standardized on 1/4 inch.
4) Can I get the A1106 lockout padlock keyed into my building's existing key system?
Not directly out of the box. The A1106KZ ships zero-bitted with a rekeyable 5-pin cylinder, which is exactly what a locksmith needs to pin it to your existing keyway and master system. If you want the factory to handle the master keying instead, the same aluminum body is sold as A1106MK keyed different master keyed and A1106KAMK keyed alike master keyed.
5) What is the closest equivalent to the American Lock A1106KZ aluminum safety padlock in another brand?
The ABUS 74/40 insulated safety padlock is the nearest match on the two dimensions that decide fit in a lockout program: it carries a 1/4 inch shackle diameter and a 1-1/2 inch body width, the same shackle diameter and body width the A1106KZ is built to. The A1106KZ runs a 5-pin rekeyable cylinder while the 74/40 is a 6-pin cylinder, so the two will not key into a common system without a separate cylinder decision. If your hasps and lockout devices were sized around the 1-1/2 inch aluminum body, the 74/40 drops into the same physical envelope.
6) Which padlock should be used instead of an aluminum lockout padlock on outdoor gates and exposed equipment?
For weather-exposed openings, look at the Medeco 521 G8R weather-tight padlock, which has a solid stainless steel body, or the Sargent 858 non-key-retaining padlock with a stainless steel shackle. The American Lock A1106KZ is a solid aluminum safety lockout padlock with an anodized corrosion-resistant finish, built for lockout tagout and food processing environments rather than as a perimeter security lock. If the lock is securing a yard gate or a utility enclosure year round, the stainless bodies are the direction to move; if it is isolating an energy source during service, the aluminum lockout padlock is the purpose-built part.
7) Can a Sargent 758 or 858 padlock be substituted for an American Lock A1106KZ on a lockout program?
They are different tools despite both being padlocks. The Sargent 758 is a key-retaining standard padlock in a US4 satin brass finish and the Sargent 858 is its non-key-retaining counterpart with a stainless steel shackle; both are brass-finish security padlocks. The A1106KZ is a solid aluminum safety lockout padlock offered in nine body colors -- black, blue, brown, clear, green, orange, purple, red and yellow -- because a lockout program assigns a color per worker or per trade. A brass padlock will physically hold a hasp shut, but it gives you no color identification, and the 758 retains the key when open, which is the opposite of what a personal lockout lock is meant to do.
8) Can I use an aluminum safety padlock in a food processing plant washdown area?
The A1106KZ has a black anodized aluminum body and a chrome plated boron alloy shackle, and American Lock calls out the anodized finish as suitable for lockout in food processing facilities and corrosion resistant for tough environments. That is the reason to pick the anodized aluminum body over a plain steel or brass padlock on a wet or sanitation-heavy line.
9) What colors do American Lock A1106 aluminum lockout padlocks come in for assigning locks by trade?
Nine body colors: black, blue, brown, clear, green, orange, purple, red and yellow. On a lockout program that is how you split locks by department or craft, one color per electrician, millwright, contractor and so on, so a lock left on a machine identifies its owner on sight. All nine share the same 1-1/2 inch aluminum body and 1/4 inch boron shackle, so the hardware behaves identically across the fleet.
10) How many keys come with an American Lock A1106KZ padlock and can I order it with fewer?
Standard is 2 keys per lock, and the key count is selectable: 0, 1, 3 or 4 keys per lock are also available. On a zero-bitted order the 0-key option is the common one, since a shop cutting its own bitting supplies blanks from its own stock rather than paying for factory keys it will re-cut anyway.
11) Is there a version of the A1106 lockout padlock with a chain so it stays attached to the equipment?
Yes. The A1106KZ can be ordered with a #40 sash chain, 9 inches long, zinc plated, or with no chain at all. The chained build keeps the padlock tethered at the disconnect or valve so it is not walked off or lost between shifts, which is a common complaint on shared lockout stations.
12) What is the difference between the American Lock A1105, A1106 and A1107 aluminum padlocks?
All three share the 1-1/2 inch wide solid aluminum body and the boron alloy shackle; the difference is shackle height. The A1106 gives 1 inch of clearance. A1105 is the shorter shackle and A1107 the taller one in the same family, so the choice comes down to how much material the shackle has to reach through at the hasp. Each of the three is offered in the same keying options, including zero-bitted, keyed alike, keyed different and master keyed.
13) What is the alternative to an aluminum lockout padlock for outdoor or high-security use?
An anodized aluminum body like the A1106KZ is built for lockout tagout: light, colored, corrosion resistant, and cut resistant through the boron alloy shackle. For gates, yard equipment and exterior security padlocking rather than personnel lockout, a heavier body serves better. ZenSupply carries the Medeco 521 G8R weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body and the Sargent 60-858-2 removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle, which also lets the padlock run on the same removable core system as the building's locks.
14) What is the difference between a plastic-covered aluminum core padlock and a solid aluminum safety padlock?
The ABUS 76/40 is a plastic-covered aluminum core padlock at 1 37/64 inch width with a 1/4 inch shackle diameter -- the aluminum is the core and the colored plastic is a jacket over it. The American Lock A1106KZ is a solid aluminum body with a black anodized finish, and the color is in the anodizing rather than in a sleeve. Both land on a 1/4 inch shackle, so they pass the same hasp eyes. The anodized aluminum surface is what makes the A1106KZ suitable for lockout in food processing facilities, where a plastic jacket is one more surface to account for in a washdown.
15) Is a Medeco or Schlage brass padlock an alternative to an aluminum safety padlock for a facility keying standard?
They solve a different problem. 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 Schlage KS23D/KS23F is a brass padlock with a 5/16 inch shackle -- both are high-security or keyed-system locks with shackles heavier than the 1/4 inch shackle on the American Lock A1106KZ. Those larger shackles will not pass through many lockout hasps and scissor devices sized for 1/4 inch. The A1106KZ ships zero-bitted with a 5-pin rekeyable cylinder, so a locksmith pins it to your own bitting rather than committing you to a proprietary key system.
16) What padlock should be used when a facility needs interchangeable core or electronic access instead of a rekeyable lockout padlock?
For a small format interchangeable core standard, the Sargent 60-858-2 is a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle, so it takes the same cores as the rest of a Sargent-cored facility and is serviced by swapping the core. For audited access, the Medeco 54515G XT is an electronic indoor/outdoor padlock with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter, non-key retaining. The American Lock A1106KZ takes a different path: a 5-pin rekeyable cylinder shipped zero-bitted, cut to whatever bitting the site already uses. Choose by how the facility manages keys -- core swap, electronic credential, or pinning to an existing mechanical system.
17) What padlock should be specified when a high-security master key system is required rather than a color-coded safety lock?
The Sargent 82-856 is the one to look at in that case: a non-key-retaining padlock with a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case and a stainless steel shackle in the KESO system. It is a security padlock with a proprietary key platform behind it. The American Lock A1106KZ is a 1-1/2 inch wide aluminum safety lockout padlock with a 5-pin rekeyable cylinder, ordered zero-bitted for pinning on site. Facilities frequently carry both -- KESO or a similar system on doors and gates under one master, and the color-coded aluminum locks reserved for personal energy isolation, where by policy no master key exists at all.
18) How many padlocks are in a case of American Lock A1106KZ, and what is the inner pack?
24 per master carton, packed 6 to a shelf pack. For a facility rolling out a color-coded lockout program that maps cleanly to buying by the shelf pack per crew rather than breaking cases.
19) Is the American Lock A1106KZ padlock rated for commercial or industrial use rather than home use?
Commercial. It is a safety lockout padlock built for industrial lockout tagout and food processing environments, with a boron alloy shackle for cut resistance and an anodized aluminum body for corrosion resistance. A residential buyer looking for a shed or gate lock is better served by a heavier general-purpose padlock; the value here is in the lockout program, the color coding and the rekeyable cylinder.
20) Which padlock works for marine or corrosive-atmosphere use if an anodized aluminum lockout lock is not right?
The ABUS T84MB/30 Nautic is the marine-oriented option, a black sleeve padlock with a 13/64 inch shackle diameter and a 1 17/64 inch body width -- noticeably lighter in both body and shackle than the 1-1/2 inch body and 1/4 inch shackle of the American Lock A1106KZ. The A1106KZ carries an anodized corrosion-resistant finish for tough environments as well, so the deciding factor is usually shackle capacity: the 13/64 inch shackle suits small chandlery and locker hardware, while the 1/4 inch shackle covers standard lockout hasps.
