American Lock AME-A1165KZ BLK 2KEY – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does zero-bitted mean on the American Lock A1165KZ padlock, and what do I need to use it?
Zero-bitted means the A1165KZ ships with its 6-pin cylinder pinned to all-zero cuts and no working key combination set. You cut and pin it to your own keyway bitting before it goes into service, so you need a key machine, pinning kit and blanks on hand. If you want locks that arrive ready to hang on a lockout station, order the keyed different, keyed alike or master keyed versions of the same A1165 body instead.
2) Will a 1/4 inch shackle fit through my lockout hasp and breaker cleats?
The shackle on the A1165 aluminum padlock is 1/4 inch diameter with 1 inch of vertical clearance and 25/32 inch between the legs. That passes the standard hole on a scissor-style lockout hasp and most breaker lockout devices, but measure the gate opening on anything nonstandard: 25/32 inch inside width is what has to straddle the hasp jaw, and 1 inch is all the height you get over a thick cleat.
3) Is an aluminum padlock OK for a washdown area or a food plant?
Anodized aluminum is the reason to pick this one for food processing. The A1165 body is solid aluminum with an anodized finish that American Lock calls out for lockout tagout in food processing facilities and corrosion resistant environments, and the boron alloy shackle is chrome plated. If you want a sealed or weather-tight body rather than an anodized one, the Medeco 521 G8R is a solid stainless steel weather-tight padlock and the ABUS 76/40 is a plastic-covered aluminum core lock.
4) Is there an alternative to the American Lock A1165 that takes an interchangeable core so it fits my existing key system?
The A1165 uses a fixed 6-pin rekeyable cylinder, so it is pinned to its own bitting rather than accepting a core out of your master key system. If you need core interchangeability, the Sargent 60-858-2 is a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle. For a same-size aluminum safety lock from another brand, the ABUS 74/40 is a 1-1/2 inch body with a 6-pin cylinder and a 1/4 inch shackle.
5) Which safety padlock should I use if 1-1/2 inches is too wide for the hasp?
The ABUS 72/30 anodized aluminum safety padlock steps down on both axes: a 1-1/4 inch body width against the A1165KZ's 1-1/2 inch, and a 3/16 inch shackle diameter against the A1165KZ's 1/4 inch. That narrower shackle passes through hasp eyes and breaker cleats that will not accept a 1/4 inch shackle, and the smaller body sits closer on crowded gang hasps where six or more locks have to share one opening. Both are anodized aluminum bodies. The tradeoff is the shackle section - the A1165KZ shackle is boron alloy, chrome plated.
6) What padlock should I use instead of the A1165KZ if the opening needs a taller shackle?
The A1165KZ shackle length is 1 inch, which clears a standard lockout hasp but not a thick cleat or a chain wrap. The Sargent 60-858-2 removable core padlock carries a 2 inch stainless steel shackle, and the Sargent 82-856 has a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case with a stainless steel shackle. Either gives roughly double the vertical clearance. Note the tradeoff in keying control: the 60-858-2 takes a removable core, so it is rekeyed by pulling the core rather than by repinning, while the A1165KZ ships zero-bitted for a locksmith to pin to an existing key system.
7) Which padlock is key retaining, the American Lock A1165KZ or the Sargent 758?
The Sargent 758 is a key retaining padlock in a US4 satin brass finish, meaning the key cannot be withdrawn while the shackle is open. Its companion, the Sargent 858, is non key retaining in the same US4 satin brass. Key retention is the wrong behavior for energy isolation, where the worker must carry their key away from the open lock - the A1165KZ is built for that use, with zero-bitted cylinders and color-coded bodies for per-worker identification. Choose the 758 where the concern is a key left dangling in a cabinet or gate lock; choose the A1165KZ where the key has to leave with the person.
8) Can I get these American Lock aluminum padlocks in colors for a group lockout program?
Nine body colors run on the A1165: black, blue, brown, clear, green, orange, purple, red and yellow. That is enough to assign a color per trade or per shift on a group lockout, and the body is anodized rather than painted so the color does not chip off a lock that lives on a cart. All nine are the same 1-1/2 inch wide aluminum body with the boron shackle.
9) How many keys come with each American Lock A1165KZ padlock?
Key count is an option you pick on the order: 0, 1, 2 (the standard), 3 or 4 keys per lock. On a zero-bitted lock the keys come with it uncut, since you are bitting the cylinder yourself. Single-key is the usual call for personal lockout locks where only one worker may hold the key.
10) Can I get an American Lock safety padlock with a chain to keep it attached to the panel?
Yes. The A1165 can be ordered with a #40 sash chain, 9 inches long, zinc plated, factory attached, or with no chain at all. The chain keeps the lock tethered at the point of isolation so it is not walked off or dropped into machinery.
11) What is the difference between the American Lock A1165, A1166 and A1167 padlocks?
All three are the same 1-1/2 inch wide solid aluminum rekeyable body with the boron shackle; the number tracks the shackle. The A1165 carries the 1 inch clearance shackle. Within each number, the suffix sets the keying: KD keyed different, KA keyed alike, KZ zero-bitted, UN uncombinated, MK and KAMK master keyed. So A1165KZ is the short-shackle body supplied unbitted.
12) How many key changes does the American Lock A1165 6-pin cylinder give me?
Over 40,000 key changes on the 6-pin APTC14 rekeyable cylinder. That is deep enough to keep every personal lockout lock in a large plant uniquely keyed without repeats, and because the cylinder is rekeyable you can re-bit a lock when a key goes missing rather than scrapping it.
13) What else could I use instead of the American Lock A1165 if I need a heavier shackle?
The A1165 runs a 1/4 inch shackle on a 1-1/2 inch aluminum body. For a thicker shackle on the same kind of padlock, the Schlage KS23D/KS23F brass padlock and the Medeco 54515G XT electronic padlock both use a 5/16 inch shackle, and the Medeco 5260 brass body lock goes to 7/16 inch. Going the other way, the ABUS 72/30 anodized aluminum safety padlock is a smaller 1-1/4 inch body with a 3/16 inch shackle for tighter hasps.
14) Will a key-retaining padlock be better than the A1165 for my lockout stations?
Key retention is worth deciding before you order. A key-retaining lock will not release the key while the shackle is open, which forces a worker to leave the key in the lock and stops a padlock being carried off unlocked. The A1165 is not sold on that basis. If retention is what your program requires, the Sargent 758 is a key retaining padlock; the Sargent 858 and the Sargent 82-856 are non-key-retaining.
15) Is the ABUS 76/40 a substitute for the American Lock A1165KZ?
It matches on shackle diameter - the 76/40 carries a 1/4 inch shackle, the same as the A1165KZ - so it passes through the same hasp openings. The body differs: the 76/40 is a plastic-covered aluminum core at 1 37/64 inch width, while the A1165KZ is a solid aluminum body, anodized, at 1-1/2 inches. That plastic cover matters where the lock will contact painted equipment or stainless surfaces you do not want marked. The anodized aluminum body on the A1165KZ is the finish called out for lockout in food processing facilities and for corrosion resistance in harsh environments. Confirm which of those two conditions governs your site before swapping.
16) What is a good outdoor or weather-exposed alternative to the A1165KZ aluminum padlock?
Two choices for exposed work. The Medeco 521 G8R is a weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body, supplied less pop-out cylinder, for gates, meter enclosures and yard equipment that sees direct weather year round. The Medeco 54515G XT is an electronic indoor/outdoor padlock with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter, non key retaining, supplied with cylinder - that one suits a site that wants an audit trail of who opened what and when. The A1165KZ stays in play for exposed work on its own terms: the anodized aluminum body is specified as corrosion resistant for tough environments.
17) Can I swap the Schlage KS23D/KS23F brass padlock for the American Lock A1165KZ?
Check the shackle first. The Schlage KS23D/KS23F is a brass padlock with a 5/16 inch diameter shackle, where the A1165KZ shackle is 1/4 inch. A 5/16 inch shackle will not pass through a hasp eye drilled for 1/4 inch, so the swap is not automatic in either direction. The other split is body material and identification: the KS23D/KS23F is brass, while the A1165KZ is an aluminum body available in nine anodized colors for assigning locks by trade or by person. For a keyed brass padlock on a cabinet or gate the Schlage works; for a color-assigned safety lock it does not cover the same need.
18) Is the ABUS T84MB/30 Nautic padlock an equivalent to the A1165KZ?
No - it looks adjacent but sits in a different class. The T84MB/30 Nautic is a black sleeve padlock with a 13/64 inch shackle diameter and a 1 17/64 inch body width, supplied in threes. Both the shackle and the body are smaller than the A1165KZ's 1/4 inch shackle and 1-1/2 inch body, and a single black sleeve does not give a lockout program the per-person color assignment that the A1165KZ's nine anodized body colors do. The Nautic suits marine and light-duty securing; for energy isolation with individually identified locks, it is not the same part.
19) For standardizing a facility on one padlock, how does the A1165KZ compare with the Sargent 858?
They standardize differently. The A1165KZ is zero-bitted, so a locksmith pins every lock to whatever key system the facility already runs, and the aluminum bodies come in nine colors with key counts from zero to four keys per lock so each department can be issued a distinct color and key quantity. The Sargent 858 is a non key retaining padlock with a stainless steel shackle in a US4 satin brass finish, and its removable-core sibling, the 60-858-2, is rekeyed by pulling and replacing the core. A facility already on Sargent cores standardizes faster on the 858 family; a facility that wants color-segregated lockout locks pinned to its own bitting standardizes on the A1165KZ.
20) How many padlocks come in a case if I am buying for a whole facility?
The A1165 aluminum padlocks pack 6 per shelf pack and 24 per master carton. For a multi-building lockout program that maps cleanly to one carton per color, per crew, or per satellite station.
21) Is the American Lock A1165 a commercial-duty padlock or a consumer one?
Commercial. The A1165 is a solid aluminum safety padlock built for lockout tagout and industrial environments, with a chrome plated boron alloy shackle chosen for cut resistance rather than the hardened steel you get on a hardware-store lock.
