American Lock AME-A1165KA BLK 2KEY – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does keyed alike mean on the American Lock A1165KA, and how do I make sure a new order opens with the keys I already have?
Keyed alike means every A1165KA on the order shares one key change, so a single key opens all of them. That is the point for a lockout program or a crew that carries one key for a bank of disconnects. To match locks you already own, enter your existing key code in the Key Code field at the point of order; without it the locks ship on a fresh key change and will not match your earlier stock. Keys per lock is your choice too: 0, 1, standard 2, 3, or 4 per lock.
2) Will a 1/4 inch shackle with 1 inch clearance fit through my hasp or breaker lockout device?
The A1165KA shackle is 1/4 inch in diameter with 1 inch of vertical clearance and 25/32 inch between the legs. That 1/4 inch diameter is the size most electrical lockout hasps and breaker devices are punched for, and the 25/32 inch spread is what limits you on a thick hasp staple. Measure the staple or lockout hole: anything needing less than 1/4 inch of shackle diameter or more than 1 inch of clearance is the wrong lock for the job.
3) Can I color code padlocks by trade or by department with the American Lock A1165?
That is the usual reason to buy them. The 1-1/2 inch aluminum body comes in nine anodized colors: black, blue, brown, clear, green, orange, purple, red and yellow. Shops typically assign one color per trade (electrical, mechanical, contractor) or per shift, and order each color keyed alike within itself so one key runs that group.
4) Should I buy keyed alike, keyed different, or zero-bitted padlocks for a lockout tagout program?
Keyed alike (the A1165KA) gives one key for the whole group, which suits a department or trade that locks out together. Keyed different (A1165, also called A1165KD) gives every lock its own key, which is what a strict personal lockout program wants, one worker one lock one key. Zero-bitted (A1165KZ) and uncombinated (A1165UN) ship unpinned so your locksmith pins them to your own keyway and system. Master keyed versions exist as A1165MK and A1165KAMK if a supervisor needs override.
5) I need padlocks that take my facility's interchangeable core. Does the American Lock A1165 do that?
No. The A1165 is a rekeyable pin tumbler padlock with a 6-pin APTC14 cylinder; a locksmith repins it, but it does not accept a removable core. If you standardize on IC across the building, the Sargent 60-858-2 is a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle, which drops into an existing core program instead.
6) What is the closest aluminum safety padlock to the American Lock A1165KA if I need a 1-1/2 inch body?
The A1165KA is a 1-1/2 inch wide solid aluminum body with a 1/4 inch diameter shackle. The ABUS 74/40 is the nearest peer on those two numbers: it is a 1-1/2 inch body width with a 1/4 inch shackle diameter and a 6-pin cylinder, built as an insulated safety padlock rather than a solid anodized aluminum body. If your lockout program is written around a 1-1/2 inch body and a 1/4 inch shackle, both fit that envelope; the difference is the insulated construction on the 74/40 against the anodized aluminum on the A1165KA.
7) I need a smaller aluminum safety padlock than the A1165KA for tight lockout points - what else is there?
The A1165KA body is 1-1/2 inches wide with a 1/4 inch shackle. Where the hasp or breaker point will not take that, the ABUS 72/30 is an anodized aluminum safety padlock with a 1-1/4 inch body width and a 3/16 inch shackle diameter, so it drops a quarter inch of body and gets a thinner shackle through a smaller hole. Both are anodized aluminum safety padlocks; the 72/30 is simply the narrower body and thinner shackle of the two.
8) The A1165KA shackle clearance is only 1 inch - what padlock has a taller shackle for a thick hasp or a chain?
The A1165KA carries a 1 inch shackle length. For an opening that needs more vertical clearance, the Sargent 60-858-2 is a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle, which doubles the shackle height and takes a thicker hasp stack or a chain link. Note the difference in keying architecture as well: the 60-858-2 is built around a removable core, while the A1165KA uses a rekeyable pin cylinder.
9) I need a padlock keyed into an existing Schlage or Medeco key system rather than the American Lock cylinder - what are my options?
The A1165KA runs a 6-pin rekeyable cylinder with over 40,000 key changes, which keys within its own system. To fold padlocks into an existing brand key system instead, the Schlage KS23D/KS23F is a brass padlock with a 5/16 inch diameter shackle in the 20 Series, the Medeco 5260 is a 52 Series brass body padlock with M3 key technology, and the Sargent 82-856 is a KESO Series padlock. Match the padlock to the keyway family already on your facility rather than the body style, since all of these use a 5/16 inch or larger shackle where the A1165KA uses 1/4 inch.
10) Is an aluminum body padlock safe to use in a food processing plant washdown area?
Yes. The A1165KA uses a black anodized solid aluminum body, and the anodized finish is what makes it suitable for lockout in food processing facilities and corrosion resistant in wet or harsh environments. There is no painted coating to chip into product. The shackle is chrome plated boron alloy, which is there for cut resistance as much as corrosion.
11) Can the American Lock A1165 be rekeyed to my existing key system?
It is a rekeyable lock. The cylinder is a 6-pin APTC14 with over 40,000 key changes available, so a locksmith can pin it to your bitting rather than you living with the factory key. If you want them shipped unpinned to start, order the uncombinated or zero-bitted version of the same lock instead of the keyed alike.
12) 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 padlock with a boron shackle; the number tells you shackle height. The A1165 is the 1 inch clearance version. The A1166 and A1167 are the taller shackle versions of the same body, which is what you want when the hasp staple is thick or you are locking through a chain or a gate latch that needs more reach.
13) Can I get a padlock with a chain attached so it stays with the gate or cabinet?
Yes. The A1165KA can be ordered with a #40 sash chain, 9 inches long, zinc plated, or with no chain at all. The chain keeps the lock tethered to the equipment so it does not walk off or get left in a pocket, which matters on shared assets like gates, tool cribs and valve covers.
14) Can I substitute a brass body padlock for the American Lock A1165KA on a food processing lockout?
Read the body material before you swap. The A1165KA uses a solid aluminum body with an anodized finish that suits lockout in food processing facilities and resists corrosion. Brass body peers such as the Sargent 758, a key retaining standard padlock in US4 satin brass, and the Medeco 5260, a 52 Series brass body padlock with a 7/16 inch shackle diameter in satin chrome, are a different substrate and a different weight class - the Medeco in particular runs a 7/16 inch shackle against the 1/4 inch on the A1165KA. They look like substitutes on a shelf and are not interchangeable in an anodized aluminum lockout program.
15) Does the A1165KA hold the key when it is unlocked, and what do I order if I need a non-key-retaining padlock?
Key retention is the detail that decides a lockout padlock. For an application where the key must come out with the lock open, the Sargent 858 is a non-key retaining padlock with a stainless steel shackle in US4 satin brass, and the Sargent 82-856 is a non-key retaining padlock with a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case and a stainless steel shackle. Against those, the Sargent 758 is the key retaining version. If your program requires the key to stay captive in the locked position, specify a key retaining model rather than assuming the behavior from the body style.
16) What should I use instead of the A1165KA on an exposed outdoor gate or a marine application?
The A1165KA is an anodized aluminum body chosen for corrosion resistance in tough environments, but it is a mechanical rekeyable padlock built primarily for lockout and identification work. For weather-exposed openings the Medeco 521 G8R is a weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body, supplied less the pop-out cylinder, and the ABUS T84MB/30 Nautic is a black sleeve padlock with a 13/64 inch shackle diameter and a 1-17/64 inch body width intended for marine use. The stainless G8R is the heavier body of the three; the Nautic is the smallest at 1-17/64 inches wide against the 1-1/2 inch A1165KA.
17) Is a plastic-covered padlock the same thing as the anodized aluminum A1165KA?
No, and the distinction matters for wash-down and food processing areas. The A1165KA is a solid aluminum body with an anodized finish. 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 aluminum is jacketed rather than exposed and finished. The shackle diameter matches at 1/4 inch and the widths are close, which is exactly why the two get confused, but the surface the lock presents to the environment is not the same.
18) We want audit trail and access control on padlocked assets - is there an electronic alternative to a keyed-alike aluminum padlock?
A keyed alike set like the A1165KA gives every lock in the group the same mechanical key, which is what most fleets want for speed. Where you need electronic credentialing instead, the Medeco 54515G XT is an electronic indoor/outdoor padlock, non-key retaining, with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter, supplied with cylinder. That is a heavier shackle than the 1/4 inch on the A1165KA and a fundamentally different credential model, so it is a program decision rather than a like-for-like swap.
19) Which padlock supports interchangeable core if we standardize our facility on one core system?
The A1165KA uses a rekeyable 6-pin cylinder, so cores are re-pinned rather than swapped out of the body. If your facility standard is a core you pull and replace, the Sargent 60-858-2 is a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle in the 758/858 Series. That lets the padlock take the same core as the rest of the openings on the standard, which the rekeyable-cylinder approach on the A1165KA does not do.
20) How many padlocks come in a case, and how are they packed for a facility rollout?
The A1165KA packs 6 to a shelf pack and 24 to a master carton. If you are standardizing a plant or handing locks out by department, the 6-pack is the convenient unit per color or per key group, and 24 is the full carton.
21) Is the American Lock A1165 a commercial grade padlock or a consumer one?
Commercial. The A1165 is sold for commercial and industrial use, specifically safety lockout tagout and food processing, with a solid aluminum body and a chrome plated boron alloy shackle chosen for cut resistance. It is not a retail hasp lock for a shed.
