American Lock AME-A1165KD BLK 2KEY – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the American Lock A1165 padlock fit through a standard lockout hasp?
The A1165 has a 1/4 inch diameter shackle with 1 inch of vertical clearance and 25/32 inch of shackle width (the inside horizontal gap). That 1/4 inch diameter passes through the standard scissor-style lockout hasp holes, and the 1 inch clearance is enough for a hasp jaw or a breaker lockout device but short on thick stacked hardware. Body width is 1-1/2 inches, so six of these side by side on one hasp is a real footprint to plan for.
2) Is the A1165 keyed different, and can each lock be rekeyed later?
Keyed different is what the A1165 (A1165KD) ships as, so every padlock in an order opens on its own key. The cylinder is a rekeyable 6-pin APTC14 with over 40,000 key changes, so a locksmith can re-pin them into a system later rather than replacing locks. If you want them all on one key from the start, order the A1165KA; A1165MK and A1165KAMK add master keying, and A1165KZ ships zero-bitted for a shop to bit in-house.
3) What is the closest cross-brand match to the American Lock A1165 aluminum safety padlock for a lockout program?
The ABUS 74/40 insulated safety padlock is the nearest peer on the two dimensions that matter for lockout: it carries a 1-1/2 inch body width and a 1/4 inch shackle diameter, the same body width and shackle diameter the A1165 uses. Both are 6-pin cylinder locks. The difference is in the body construction - the A1165 body is anodized aluminum, while the 74/40 is an insulated body. If your lockout procedure standardizes on 1-1/2 inch bodies and 1/4 inch shackles, either will fit the same hasps and lockout devices.
4) I need a narrower padlock than the American Lock A1165 for a tight hasp - what else is there?
Step down to the ABUS 72/30 anodized aluminum safety padlock, which has a 1-1/4 inch body width and a 3/16 inch shackle diameter against the A1165's 1-1/2 inch body and 1/4 inch shackle. Narrower still is the ABUS T84MB/30 at a 1 17/64 inch body width with a 13/64 inch shackle diameter. Both trade shackle diameter down with the body, so confirm your hasp opening and your required shackle gauge before you swap.
5) For a wet outdoor gate, is the American Lock A1165 the right choice or should I look at something else?
The A1165's anodized aluminum body is a corrosion resistant finish for tough environments, but for direct weather exposure there are purpose-built bodies in the same family of product. The Medeco 521 G8R is a weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body, supplied less pop-out cylinder. The Sargent 858 uses a stainless steel shackle with a US4 satin brass finish. Both step away from aluminum to stainless and brass, which is the usual move for an unsheltered exterior padlock.
6) My facility is on a small-format interchangeable core system - can I use the American Lock A1165?
The A1165 uses a 6-pin APTC14 rekeyable cylinder, so it is rekeyed by pinning rather than by swapping a core. If your keying program runs on removable cores, the Sargent 60-858-2 is a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle, which lets you drop your own core in at the site. The Medeco 5260 runs M3 key technology in a brass body with a 7/16 inch shackle diameter. Match the padlock to whichever platform your master key system is built on.
7) Is an aluminum padlock safe to use in a food processing plant?
Yes. The A1165 body is solid aluminum with a black anodized finish, and American Lock calls out that anodized finish as suitable for lockout in food processing facilities. The same finish resists corrosion in washdown and outdoor environments, and the shackle is chrome plated boron alloy rather than bare steel.
8) What colors does the A1165 come in for color-coded lockout programs?
Nine lockbody colors: black, blue, brown, clear, green, orange, purple, red and yellow. That covers the usual trade-by-trade or shift-by-shift color coding on an energy control program, and the part number carries the color suffix (A1165RED, A1165BLU, and so on) so a reorder matches what is already on the wall.
9) How many keys come with each American Lock A1165 padlock?
Standard is 2 keys per lock. You can also order 1, 3 or 4 keys per lock, or 0 keys per lock when the padlock is going into a lockout/tagout program where a single assigned key is issued separately and spares are deliberately not distributed.
10) What is the difference between the American Lock A1165, A1166 and A1167?
All three are the same 1-1/2 inch wide solid aluminum rekeyable body with a boron shackle. The difference is shackle height: the A1165 gives 1 inch of clearance, and the A1166 and A1167 step up from there in the same family. Pick the A1165 for hasps and breaker devices where a short shackle is wanted (it resists prying and bolt cutter access better), and step up only when you need to reach around a thicker hasp or a cable.
11) What other safety padlocks compare to the American Lock A1165 aluminum lockout lock?
Closest on size is the ABUS 74/40 insulated safety padlock, which also uses a 6-pin cylinder, a 1/4 inch shackle diameter and a 1-1/2 inch body width. The ABUS 76/40 is a plastic-covered aluminum core lock at 1/4 inch shackle and 1-37/64 inch body, so a similar footprint with a molded jacket instead of an anodized finish. If you want a smaller, lighter lock for a crowded hasp, the ABUS 72/30 is a 1-1/4 inch anodized aluminum body with a 3/16 inch shackle. What the A1165 brings that those do not state is the boron alloy shackle and the rekeyable APTC14 cylinder.
12) I need padlocks on a facility master key system, not a lockout program. Is the A1165 the right choice?
It can be, but look at what the system needs first. The A1165 is rekeyable, and American Lock offers the same body as A1165MK and A1165KAMK for master keyed jobs, so it will fold into a master system. If your facility runs interchangeable cores, a removable core padlock like the Sargent 60-858-2, which carries a 2 inch stainless shackle, keys straight off the cores you already stock. For exposed exterior gates, the Medeco 521 G8R uses a solid stainless steel body and is weather-tight. Aluminum is the right body for lockout and color coding; stainless or brass is the usual call for outdoor security.
13) What is the difference between the American Lock A1165 and a key-retaining padlock like the Sargent 758?
That distinction decides whether the key can leave the lock in the open position. The Sargent 758 is a key retaining standard padlock in a US4 satin brass finish, meaning the key stays captive while the shackle is open. The Sargent 858 and the 82-856 are the non-key-retaining counterparts. The A1165 is a keyed-different lockout padlock supplied in colored bodies with up to 4 keys per lock, which is the configuration used where each worker carries their own key away from the applied lock - the opposite intent from key retention.
14) Which padlocks look like a substitute for the American Lock A1165 but will not work for color-coded lockout tagout?
A few in the same size class will not serve a color-coded program. The Medeco 5260 is a brass body padlock in satin chrome and the Sargent 758 is US4 satin brass - single-finish metal bodies with no color range to assign by trade or shift. The Medeco 54515G is an XT electronic indoor/outdoor padlock, an access-control device rather than a mechanical safety lock. The A1165 is supplied in black, blue, brown, clear, green, orange, purple, red, and yellow bodies, with an anodized finish suitable for lockout in food processing facilities.
15) I need more shackle clearance than the American Lock A1165 gives me - what should I order instead?
The A1165 shackle gives 1 inch of clearance. Where you need to pass through a thicker hasp or a chain, the Sargent 60-858-2 carries a 2 inch stainless steel shackle. Within the same American Lock aluminum family, the A1166 and A1167 are the longer-shackle siblings at the same 1-1/2 inch body width. If the extra reach is only needed to span a gap, the A1165 is also offered with a #40 sash chain, 9 inches long, zinc plated.
16) Can I get the A1165 with a chain attached for tagging or tethering?
Yes. The A1165 can be ordered with a #40 sash chain, 9 inches (229mm) long, zinc plated, factory attached, or with no chain at all. The chain option is what keeps the lock tethered to the equipment or the tag so it does not walk off between shifts.
17) How many A1165 padlocks come in a case?
Shelf pack is 6 padlocks and the master carton holds 24. That maps well to stocking an energy control program by department, since a 6-pack per color covers a crew without breaking cases.
18) Is the A1165 padlock suitable for commercial and industrial use rather than residential?
It is a commercial-rated padlock. The A1165 sits in the lockout padlock and accessories line, built around a rekeyable 6-pin cylinder, an anodized aluminum body and a boron alloy shackle for cut resistance, which is a specification aimed at plant, MRO and facility use rather than a hardware store lock for a shed.
19) How does the American Lock A1165 compare to a heavier brass padlock like the Schlage KS23D?
The comparison comes down to shackle gauge and body material. The Schlage KS23D/KS23F is a brass padlock with a 5/16 inch diameter shackle, and the Medeco 54515G also uses a 5/16 inch shackle. The A1165 runs a 1/4 inch diameter chrome plated boron alloy shackle in a 1-1/2 inch wide aluminum body. The boron alloy is specified for cut resistance at that smaller gauge, and the lighter aluminum body is what makes the A1165 practical to carry on a belt clip for daily lockout use.
