American Lock AME-A1165KAMK BLK 2KEY – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the KAMK suffix mean on the American Lock A1165KAMK padlock?
KAMK means keyed alike and master keyed. Every A1165KAMK you order on the same key code opens with the same change key, and they all also open under a master key, so a maintenance supervisor carries one key for the whole group. If you want each lock on its own key but still under a master, that is the A1165MK. Plain keyed alike with no master is the A1165KA, and keyed different is the A1165 (A1165KD). Ordering requires a key code entry, so have your existing code in hand if you are adding to a system already in service.
2) Will a 1/4 inch shackle padlock fit through a standard lockout hasp or breaker tag-out device?
The shackle on the A1165KAMK is 1/4 inch diameter with 1 inch of clearance under the crossbar and 25/32 inch between the legs. That 1/4 inch diameter is the usual size a lockout hasp and most breaker lockout devices are drilled for. Check the 25/32 inch inside width against the hasp eye spacing, since that is what decides whether the shackle drops over a thick multi-lock hasp, and the 1 inch clearance against how much material you are locking through.
3) Can the A1165 aluminum padlock be rekeyed into an existing master key system?
Yes, the cylinder is rekeyable. It is a 6-pin APTC14 cylinder with over 40,000 key changes available, so a locksmith can pin it to a code you already run rather than you living with the factory bitting. If you want it shipped unpinned to combinate yourself, the A1165UN is the uncombinated version and the A1165KZ is zero-bitted.
4) Is a 1-1/2 inch aluminum safety padlock enough lock for a gate or storage cage, or should I use something heavier?
The A1165 is a 1-1/2 inch wide safety padlock built for lockout tagout and equipment isolation, with a 1/4 inch boron alloy shackle for cut resistance and only 1 inch of shackle clearance. That short shackle and narrow body are deliberate for locking out breakers and valves, not for securing a chain through a gate. For gate and cage work, look at a padlock with a longer, thicker shackle: the Sargent 60-858-2 has a 2 inch stainless steel shackle and a removable core, and the Schlage KS23D/KS23F is a brass padlock with a 5/16 inch shackle.
5) I already run ABUS 72/30 safety padlocks. Will an American Lock A1165 work alongside them on the same hasps?
They are close but not the same size. The ABUS 72/30 is a 1-1/4 inch body with a 3/16 inch shackle diameter, while the A1165 is 1-1/2 inch wide with a 1/4 inch shackle. The A1165 needs a hasp eye drilled for 1/4 inch, so it will not drop into a device sized only for a 3/16 inch shackle. Keying is separate too, since the A1165KAMK runs its own American Lock cylinder and cannot be keyed into an ABUS system. The ABUS 74/40 is the closer dimensional match at 1-1/2 inch body width with a 1/4 inch shackle.
6) What is the closest equivalent to the American Lock A1165KAMK aluminum safety padlock from another brand?
The ABUS 74/40 insulated safety padlock is the nearest match on the two dimensions that decide a lockout padlock fit: it carries a 1-1/2 inch body width and a 1/4 inch shackle diameter, the same body width and shackle diameter the A1165KAMK carries. It also uses a 6-pin cylinder, so it sits in the same keying depth range for a facility that master keys its lockout locks. The difference is construction - the 74/40 is an insulated body, where the A1165KAMK is solid aluminum with an anodized finish.
7) What is a smaller alternative to the American Lock A1165KAMK for tight hasps and cramped lockout points?
The ABUS 72/30 anodized aluminum safety padlock runs a 1-1/4 inch body width with a 3/16 inch shackle diameter, against the 1-1/2 inch body and 1/4 inch shackle on the A1165KAMK. The narrower body and thinner shackle let it enter hasp eyes and scissor-clamp jaws that will not take a 1/4 inch shackle. Both are anodized aluminum bodies, so the color-coded, corrosion resistant character of the lock carries across.
8) I need a padlock with more shackle clearance than the American Lock A1165KAMK - what should I use?
The A1165KAMK carries a 1 inch shackle length, which is sized for a hasp or lockout clamp and will not close around a thick staple, a chain, or a gate loop. The Sargent 60-858-2 uses a 2 inch stainless steel shackle, and the Sargent 82-856 pairs a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case with a stainless steel shackle. Either gives the vertical clearance the A1165KAMK does not have, at the cost of the aluminum lockout body - both Sargent locks are brass and stainless construction rather than color-coded anodized aluminum.
9) Is the American Lock A1165KAMK safe to use in a food processing plant?
Yes. The body is solid aluminum with an anodized finish, which is what makes it acceptable for lockout in food processing environments, and the same finish holds up in wet and corrosive areas. The shackle is chrome plated boron alloy rather than bare steel. If you need the lock body itself insulated or sleeved rather than bare anodized metal, the ABUS 76/40 uses a plastic-covered aluminum core and the ABUS 74/40 is an insulated safety padlock.
10) Can I color code American Lock A1165 padlocks by trade or by crew?
Nine body colors are offered: black, blue, brown, clear, green, orange, purple, red and yellow. That is the standard way crews separate electrical from mechanical from contractor locks on a group lockout, and it works alongside the keying, so you can run one master key across a job while each department carries a different color. Colors are also called out by part number, for example A1165KAMKRED and A1165KAMKBLU.
11) How many keys come with an American Lock A1165KAMK, and can I order it with no keys?
Standard is 2 keys per lock. You can also order 1, 3 or 4 keys per lock, or 0 keys per lock. The zero-key option is what large facilities use when they already hold the change keys for that code and do not want a pile of duplicates arriving with every lock, which matters on a keyed alike order where all the locks share one key anyway.
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 body with a boron shackle. They differ by shackle. The A1165 carries a 1 inch shackle length, which is the short one for hasps and lockout devices where you want minimal exposed steel. Step up to the A1166 or A1167 when you need more clearance to get around a thicker hasp, a chain link, or a valve handle. Each of the three is offered in the same keying options, including keyed alike master keyed.
13) How does the American Lock A1165 aluminum body compare to a brass or stainless padlock for outdoor use?
The A1165 uses an anodized aluminum body with a chrome plated boron shackle, chosen for corrosion resistance and light weight rather than mass. Where you want a heavier metal body outdoors, 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 shackle in a US4 satin brass finish. For high-security keying on the outdoor lock, the Medeco 5260 is a 52 Series brass body padlock with a 7/16 inch shackle and M3 key technology.
14) For an outdoor or washdown application, is the American Lock A1165KAMK aluminum padlock the right choice or is there a better body?
The A1165KAMK uses a solid aluminum body with an anodized, corrosion resistant finish, which is what makes it suitable for food processing lockout. Where the opening is fully exposed weather rather than washdown, the Medeco 521 G8R is a weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body, and the Medeco 54515G XT is an indoor/outdoor padlock with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter. Those two are built around a sealed or stainless body; the A1165KAMK is built around a lightweight anodized aluminum body that takes a color code.
15) Can I use a Schlage KS23D or a Medeco 5260 in place of the American Lock A1165KAMK on a lockout program?
Both are brass body padlocks - the Schlage KS23D/KS23F with a 5/16 inch diameter shackle and the Medeco 5260 in the 52 Series with a 7/16 inch shackle diameter and M3 key technology in satin chrome. Neither is a color-coded aluminum safety lock. The A1165KAMK body comes in black, blue, brown, clear, green, orange, purple, red and yellow, which is how a lockout program assigns a lock to a person or a trade. If the requirement is high security on a door or gate, the brass bodies apply; if the requirement is personal lockout identification, they do not substitute.
16) What is the difference between a key retaining padlock like the Sargent 758 and the American Lock A1165KAMK for a keyed alike master keyed program?
The Sargent 758 is a key retaining standard padlock in a US4 satin brass finish, meaning the key cannot be withdrawn while the lock is open - the holder stays with the lock. The Sargent 858 is the non-key retaining counterpart in the same US4 satin brass finish. The A1165KAMK is supplied keyed alike under a master key, with a rekeyable cylinder and a choice of 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4 keys per lock, so the keying is set at the order rather than fixed by the lock body. For an MRO program that standardizes one key across a fleet of locks, that ordering choice is the operative difference.
17) Is the ABUS 76/40 a direct substitute for the American Lock A1165KAMK?
It matches on shackle diameter - the ABUS 76/40 carries a 1/4 inch shackle, the same diameter as the A1165KAMK - but it is not the same body. The 76/40 is a plastic-covered aluminum core padlock at 1 37/64 inch width, where the A1165KAMK is a solid aluminum body at 1-1/2 inch width with an anodized finish. The plastic cover changes how the lock behaves against solvents and washdown in a food processing area, and the wider body may not seat the same in an existing hasp.
18) I need a removable core padlock to tie into my facility key system - what do I use instead of the American Lock A1165KAMK?
The Sargent 60-858-2 is a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle, which lets the core be pulled and rotated by the same control key that services the doors. The A1165KAMK instead uses a rekeyable 6-pin cylinder and is ordered keyed alike under a master key, so the cylinder is repinned rather than swapped. For a facility standardizing on interchangeable cores across doors and padlocks, the removable core construction is the one that carries the program.
19) Can I get an American Lock safety padlock with a chain to keep it attached to the equipment?
Yes. The A1165 can be ordered with a #40 sash chain, 9 inches long, zinc plated, or with no chain at all. The chain keeps the padlock tethered to the gate, valve or panel so it does not walk off or land in a gearbox when the lock comes off. If you do not need the tether, take the NONE option.
20) Is the A1165KAMK padlock sold individually or do I have to buy a case?
It ships 6 to a shelf pack and 24 to a master carton. Those are the natural break points if you are outfitting a crew or standardizing a facility. Because it is keyed alike, ordering by the pack is the normal way to buy it, since every lock in the group runs on the same key code.
21) Does the ABUS T84MB Nautic padlock work as a lockout tagout lock like the American Lock A1165KAMK?
No. The ABUS T84MB/30 is a Nautic black sleeve padlock with a 13/64 inch shackle diameter and a 1 17/64 inch body width, built for marine exposure and sold in a three-pack. The A1165KAMK is a 1-1/2 inch solid aluminum safety padlock with a 1/4 inch boron alloy shackle and an anodized finish intended for lockout tagout, including food processing facilities. The thinner T84MB shackle and single black sleeve do not give a lockout program the color coding or the shackle section it is written around.
