American Lock AME-A1106MK BLK 2KEY – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the MK in American Lock A1106MK mean, and will each lock have its own key?
MK means master keyed. The A1106MK ships keyed different, so every padlock operates on its own individual change key, but all of them are set up under a master key so one key opens the whole group. That is the usual choice for lockout/tagout programs where each worker keeps a unique key and a supervisor or safety manager carries the master for removals. If you instead want every lock to open on the same change key, the A1106KA is the keyed alike version, and A1106KAMK is keyed alike under a master.
2) What is the closest alternative to the American Lock A1106MK aluminum safety padlock from another brand?
The ABUS 74/40 insulated safety padlock is the nearest match. It shares the 1/4 inch shackle diameter and 1-1/2 inch body width of the A1106MK, which is a solid aluminum lockout padlock with a 1/4 inch shackle diameter and 1-1/2 inch body width. The differences are in the body construction and cylinder: the ABUS 74/40 uses a 6-pin cylinder and an insulated body, while the A1106MK uses an anodized aluminum body. If your lockout program is built around aluminum bodies in multiple colors, stay with the American Lock; if you want an insulated body at the same shackle size, the 74/40 covers it.
3) I need a smaller-bodied lockout padlock than the American Lock A1106MK for tight hasps. What should I use?
The ABUS 72/30 anodized aluminum safety padlock is the smaller option, with a 1-1/4 inch body width and a 3/16 inch shackle diameter against the A1106MK's 1-1/2 inch body and 1/4 inch shackle. Both are anodized aluminum safety padlocks, so the corrosion behavior and the lockout application are the same family. The thinner shackle on the 72/30 will pass through smaller hasp eyes; the heavier 1/4 inch boron shackle on the A1106MK is the one to keep where cut resistance drives the spec.
4) Is this padlock OK to use in a food processing plant?
Yes. The A1106MK body is black anodized aluminum, and the anodized finish is what makes it suitable for lockout in food processing facilities as well as corrosion resistant in wet or washdown environments. The aluminum body also keeps it light enough to hang on a worker's belt all shift.
5) What colors do these American Lock aluminum safety padlocks come in for color-coding crews?
Nine body colors: black, blue, brown, clear, green, orange, purple, red and yellow. That is enough to assign a color per trade, per shift or per department, which is how most plants run their LOTO program. The color is part of the ordering code, so A1106MKRED is the red body, A1106MKYLW the yellow, and so on.
6) How many keys come with each American Lock A1106MK padlock and can I order fewer?
Standard is 2 keys per lock. You can also order it with 1 key per lock, 3 keys, 4 keys, or 0 keys per lock. Most LOTO programs take the single-key option so a worker physically cannot hand off a spare, while maintenance crews that share locks often take the standard two.
7) Can this lock be rekeyed, or do I have to replace it when an employee leaves?
It is rekeyable. The A1106MK uses a 5-pin tumbler rekeyable cylinder, so a locksmith or an in-house shop can repin it to a new change key and keep it in the master system rather than scrapping the lock. If you want to bit them yourself from scratch, American Lock also sells the A1106KZ zero-bitted and A1106UN uncombinated versions of the same padlock.
8) What is the difference between the American Lock A1105, A1106 and A1107 aluminum padlocks?
They are the same 1-1/2 inch (38mm) wide solid aluminum body and the same 1/4 inch boron alloy shackle; the difference is shackle height. The A1106 carries a 1 inch (25mm) clearance shackle. If you need more reach over a thick hasp or a bundle of tags, step up within the family to the A1107; the A1105 is the shorter option. Pick the shortest shackle that still passes through your hardware, since less exposed shackle is less to get a cutter on.
9) What else does ZenSupply carry if I need a safety padlock with a smaller or a larger shackle than 1/4 inch?
For a lighter, smaller lock the ABUS 72/30 anodized aluminum safety padlock runs a 1-1/4 inch body with a 3/16 inch shackle, which suits tighter lockout points. Going the other way, the Medeco 5260 brass body padlock carries a 7/16 inch shackle, and the Schlage KS23D/KS23F brass padlock uses a 5/16 inch shackle. Note those larger diameters will not pass through hasps drilled for 1/4 inch, so match the hole before switching.
10) Is there an alternative safety padlock with the same 1/4 inch shackle and 1-1/2 inch body?
The ABUS 74/40 insulated safety padlock matches on the two dimensions that decide fit: 1/4 inch shackle diameter and a 1-1/2 inch body width, and it runs a 6-pin cylinder. It is a direct dimensional alternative to the American Lock A1106MK if you want an insulated body rather than anodized aluminum. Keying systems are not interchangeable between the two brands, so do not mix them inside one master keyed program.
11) Which padlock should I specify instead of the American Lock A1106MK if my facility standardizes on interchangeable cores?
The Sargent 60-858-2 removable core padlock is the one to look at; it takes a removable core and carries a 2 inch stainless steel shackle, so a facility that rekeys by swapping cores across doors and padlocks can bring the padlocks into the same program. The A1106MK is a rekeyable 5-pin tumbler lock rather than a core-based one, and it is ordered keyed different under a master key. Choose the Sargent where the core standard governs, and the A1106MK where you want an aluminum lockout body under a master key system.
12) Can I use a Sargent 758 or 858 padlock in place of the American Lock A1106MK for lockout/tagout?
They are different tools. The Sargent 758 is a key retaining standard padlock in a US4 satin brass finish and the 858 is the non-key-retaining version with a stainless steel shackle; both are brass-finish security padlocks built for door and gate keying programs under a Sargent system. The A1106MK is a safety lockout padlock with an anodized aluminum body offered in nine lockbody colors including red, yellow, green and blue, which is what a lockout program needs for worker identification. Use the Sargent locks for general security keying, and keep the A1106MK where the lock has to be color-coded for energy isolation.
13) For an outdoor gate exposed to weather, is the American Lock A1106MK the right choice or is there a better padlock?
For a permanently exposed gate, the Medeco 521 G8R weather-tight padlock is built for it, with a solid stainless steel body and a weather-tight design, supplied less pop-out cylinder so you can fit your own. The A1106MK has a corrosion resistant anodized aluminum body with a chrome plated boron shackle and holds up in tough environments, but its role is safety lockout and it is sized at 1-1/2 inch wide with a 1/4 inch shackle. Gate and yard security tends to go to the stainless Medeco; the American Lock stays on lockout points and equipment.
14) What is the difference between the American Lock A1106MK and the ABUS 76/40 padlock?
The ABUS 76/40 is a plastic-covered aluminum core padlock with a 1/4 inch shackle diameter and a 1-37/64 inch width, so the shackle matches the A1106MK's 1/4 inch diameter and the body runs slightly wider than the A1106MK's 1-1/2 inch. The construction is the real split: the 76/40 wraps its aluminum core in plastic, while the A1106MK uses a black anodized aluminum body, a finish called out as suitable for lockout in food processing facilities. In wash-down and food areas the anodized aluminum body is the usual pick.
15) I need a heavier brass padlock than the American Lock A1106MK for an exterior door hasp. What are the options?
Two brass-bodied choices sit above it. The Schlage KS23D/KS23F is a brass padlock with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter, and the Medeco 5260 is a 52 Series brass body padlock with a 7/16 inch shackle diameter and M3 key technology in satin chrome. Both run a thicker shackle than the A1106MK's 1/4 inch and a brass body rather than aluminum. The tradeoff is weight and color coding: the A1106MK's aluminum body comes in nine colors for identifying who owns the lock, which the brass units do not offer.
16) My keying program is Sargent KESO. Is there a padlock that matches it instead of the American Lock A1106MK?
Yes, the Sargent 82-856 is a non-key-retaining padlock in the KESO series with a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case and a stainless steel shackle, so it keys into a KESO system directly. The A1106MK runs its own rekeyable 5-pin tumbler cylinder and is ordered as keyed different under a master key, which suits a standalone lockout program rather than an existing high-security system. Match the KESO padlock to the system and keep the A1106MK for color-coded safety lockout.
17) Can I get this padlock with a chain attached?
Yes. The A1106MK can be ordered 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 a valve, gate or cabinet so it does not walk off between uses.
18) Why a boron shackle instead of a plain steel one?
The A1106MK shackle is boron alloy, chrome plated, and boron is specified for cut resistance against bolt cutters. On a lockout lock that matters less for theft than for tamper resistance, but on gates, meters and outdoor cabinets it is the reason to choose this over a soft-shackle safety lock.
19) How do these ship, and what quantity should I order for a plant-wide LOTO rollout?
The A1106MK packs 6 per shelf pack and 24 per master carton. For a full rollout, ordering in multiples of 24 keeps you on whole cartons, and ordering by color in shelf packs of 6 lines up neatly with crew assignments.
20) Is the Medeco 54515G XT padlock a substitute for the American Lock A1106MK?
No. The Medeco 54515G XT is an electronic indoor/outdoor padlock, non-key-retaining, with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter and cylinder included, so it belongs to an audited electronic access program and carries a heavier shackle than the A1106MK's 1/4 inch. The A1106MK is a mechanical rekeyable 5-pin lockout padlock in an aluminum body. If you need access records and electronic credentials, the XT is the platform; if you need color-coded mechanical lockout locks that anyone on the floor can apply, the A1106MK is the one.
21) Does the ABUS T84MB/30 work for the same jobs as the American Lock A1106MK?
Not for lockout. The ABUS T84MB/30 Nautic is a black-sleeved padlock with a 13/64 inch shackle diameter and a 1-17/64 inch body width, a lighter marine-style lock sold in a three-pack. The A1106MK is a commercial safety lockout padlock, 1-1/2 inch wide with a 1/4 inch boron alloy shackle for cut resistance. For energy isolation and equipment lockout, the heavier American Lock is the correct specification.
