American Lock AME-A1165MK BLK 2KEY – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the MK in American Lock A1165MK mean, and how is it different from the A1165KA?
MK means master keyed. The A1165MK ships keyed different, so every padlock has its own operating key, but all of them open under a common master key you specify with the order. The A1165KA is keyed alike instead: one operating key runs the whole group. Use MK when each electrician, tech or department needs sole control of their own lock while a supervisor keeps one key that opens everything. Also in the same 1-1/2 inch aluminum family: A1165KD keyed different with no master, A1165KAMK keyed alike under a master, A1165UN uncombinated and A1165KZ zero bitted for locksmiths pinning their own.
2) Will a 1/4 inch shackle American Lock A1165MK fit through my hasp and lockout device?
The shackle is 1/4 inch (6mm) in diameter with 1 inch (25mm) of vertical clearance and 25/32 inch between the legs. That 1/4 inch diameter is the size nearly every breaker lockout, valve lockout and group lockout hasp is drilled for, so it passes standard LOTO devices. The 1 inch clearance is what to check against a thick hasp stack: if you are ganging a lot of locks on one scissor hasp or reaching over a raised staple, measure the loop you need to clear before ordering.
3) Can the American Lock A1165MK aluminum padlock be used for lockout tagout in a food plant?
Yes. The black anodized aluminum body is the reason: anodizing gives a hard, non-flaking, corrosion resistant surface, which is why American Lock calls this one suitable for lockout in food processing facilities. Painted or plastic dipped bodies can chip into product; anodized aluminum does not. The same finish is what holds up in washdown, outdoor and chemical exposure areas.
4) I need padlocks keyed into my building's existing Sargent or Schlage master key system. Is the A1165MK the right lock?
No. The A1165MK is master keyed within American Lock's own 6-pin APTC14 cylinder system, not into another manufacturer's keyway. To hang padlocks on an existing Sargent system, look at the Sargent 758 key retaining padlock or the 858 non-key retaining, or the 60-858-2 removable core version with a 2 inch stainless shackle if the facility runs interchangeable cores. On a Schlage system, the KS23D/KS23F brass padlock takes a 5/16 inch shackle. Buy the padlock that matches the keyway you already have, then the lock opens on the keys your staff already carry.
5) What is the closest equivalent to an American Lock A1165MK aluminum safety padlock from another brand?
The A1165MK is a 1-1/2 inch wide aluminum body padlock with a 1/4 inch diameter shackle. The closest match in dimensions is the ABUS 74/40 insulated safety padlock, which also uses a 6-pin cylinder with a 1/4 inch shackle diameter and a 1-1/2 inch body width. The difference is construction: the A1165MK body is solid aluminum, while the 74/40 is an insulated body. If body width matters more than the insulation, the ABUS 76/40 is a plastic-covered aluminum core padlock, also 1/4 inch shackle diameter, at 1-37/64 inch wide.
6) Which aluminum safety padlock fits a smaller hasp opening than a 1/4 inch shackle allows?
When the hasp eye or lockout device will not take a 1/4 inch shackle, step down in shackle diameter rather than trying to force the American Lock A1165MK, which uses a 1/4 inch shackle in a 1-1/2 inch wide body. The ABUS 72/30 is an anodized aluminum safety padlock with a 3/16 inch shackle diameter and a 1-1/4 inch body width, so it clears tighter holes and narrower hasp staples. Smaller still is the ABUS T84MB/30 with a 13/64 inch shackle diameter and a 1-17/64 inch body width.
7) I need a padlock with more shackle clearance than 1 inch for a thick hasp or chain - what should I order?
The American Lock A1165MK has a 1 inch shackle length, which covers a standard hasp staple or lockout device but will not close over a thick hasp stack or a chain link. For more clearance, the Sargent 60-858-2 uses a 2 inch stainless steel shackle. The Medeco 54515G is another longer option, an indoor/outdoor padlock with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter, and the Schlage KS23D/KS23F is a brass body padlock also using a 5/16 inch diameter shackle - both are thicker shackles than the 1/4 inch on the A1165MK, so confirm the hasp eye accepts the larger diameter before ordering.
8) Can I use a Sargent 758 or 858 padlock in place of an American Lock A1165MK for lockout tagout?
They are not interchangeable for that use. The A1165MK is an anodized aluminum body lock offered in nine body colors - black, blue, brown, clear, green, orange, purple, red and yellow - which is how a lockout program assigns a lock to a worker or a trade. The Sargent 758 is a key retaining standard padlock in US4 satin brass and the Sargent 858 is the non-key retaining version, also US4 satin brass; a single brass finish gives you no way to color code by person. The key retaining behavior matters too: on the Sargent 758 the key cannot be removed while the lock is open, which is the opposite of what a lockout lock needs.
9) For a facility standardizing on interchangeable core, is the American Lock A1165MK the right padlock?
No. The A1165MK is a rekeyable padlock with a 6-pin APTC14 cylinder, so it is rekeyed by repinning rather than by swapping a core, and it is available master keyed. A facility running removable core so that a locksmith can pull and replace cores in the field should look at the Sargent 60-858-2, a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle. The Sargent 82-856 is a different path again - a non-key retaining padlock with a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case and stainless steel shackle on the KESO system.
10) What colors does the American Lock A1165 aluminum safety padlock come in for color-coding a lockout program?
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 and still have spares, which is how most plants run a group lockout program. The part number carries the color, so A1165MKRED is the red body and A1165MKYLW the yellow.
11) How many keys come with an American Lock A1165MK padlock, and can I order it with fewer?
Standard is 2 keys per lock. You can also order 1 key per lock, 3, 4, or zero keys per lock. Zero keys is the usual choice for a large master keyed rollout where the keys are cut and issued centrally, and 1 key per lock is common on personal LOTO locks where a second key defeats the point of exclusive control.
12) Can I get the American Lock A1165MK padlock with a chain attached?
Yes. There is a chain option: a #40 sash chain, 9 inches (229mm) long, zinc plated, or you can order the padlock with no chain. The chain keeps the lock tethered to the gate, panel or hasp so it does not walk off or get set down in a cable tray while the equipment is open.
13) Is the American Lock A1165MK cylinder rekeyable, and how many key changes are available?
The cylinder is a 6-pin APTC14 and it is rekeyable, with over 40,000 key changes available. For a locksmith that means the lock comes apart and gets repinned in the shop rather than replaced when an employee leaves or a master system gets expanded, and the change count is deep enough to keep a large facility's locks non-interchangeable across departments.
14) Why choose a boron shackle padlock over a standard hardened steel one?
Boron alloy is the upgrade you buy when the lock hangs somewhere a bolt cutter can reach it. The A1165 shackle is boron alloy, chrome plated, for cut resistance, on a 1-1/2 inch wide aluminum body. On an interior LOTO point that nobody attacks, cut resistance is not what decides the buy and a lighter aluminum or insulated body may serve. On an outdoor gate, a jobsite gang box or a trailer, it is the whole point.
15) What are the alternatives to an American Lock A1165 aluminum safety padlock for electrical lockout?
For electrical work where the lock may contact live parts, the ABUS 74/40 is an insulated safety padlock on the same 1/4 inch shackle diameter and 1-1/2 inch body width, so it swaps into the same hasps. The ABUS 76/40 is a plastic-covered aluminum core lock, also 1/4 inch shackle, at 1-37/64 inch wide. If you need a smaller body for tight lockout points, the ABUS 72/30 is 1-1/4 inch wide on a 3/16 inch shackle, which will not fill a 1/4 inch hasp hole the same way. The A1165 remains the pick when you want an anodized body and a boron shackle.
16) What is the difference between the American Lock A1165, A1166 and A1167 padlocks?
All three are the same 1-1/2 inch (38mm) wide solid aluminum body with a boron shackle and rekeyable cylinder. They are separated by shackle height, so pick by how much clearance the hasp or lockout device needs. The A1165 gives 1 inch (25mm) of clearance. Each of the three comes in the full keying range: KD keyed different, KA keyed alike, MK master keyed, KAMK keyed alike under a master, UN uncombinated and KZ zero bitted.
17) What is a stainless steel alternative to an aluminum padlock for a wet or coastal exterior?
The American Lock A1165MK uses an anodized aluminum body with a corrosion resistant finish, which handles washdown and food processing environments. Where you want a stainless body instead of aluminum, the Medeco 521 G8R is a weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body, supplied less the pop-out cylinder. The ABUS T84MB/30 is built for marine exposure as well, a Nautic padlock with a black sleeve, 13/64 inch shackle diameter and 1-17/64 inch body width, though it is a narrower body than the 1-1/2 inch A1165MK.
18) Is the ABUS 76/40 a direct substitute for the American Lock A1165MK?
They look similar on a shelf but they are built differently. The A1165MK has a solid aluminum body 1-1/2 inches wide with a 1/4 inch shackle. The ABUS 76/40 is a plastic-covered aluminum core padlock at 1-37/64 inches wide, also with a 1/4 inch shackle diameter - so the shackle will pass through the same hasp, but the plastic jacket is a different exterior than the anodized aluminum finish the A1165MK uses for food processing lockout and corrosion resistance. Check that the covered body clears the lockout device or hasp recess at the slightly wider dimension before substituting.
19) What padlock should I use instead if I need electronic audit trail instead of a mechanical key?
The American Lock A1165MK is a mechanical rekeyable padlock with a 6-pin cylinder and is ordered with a set number of keys per lock, from zero up to four. If the requirement is electronic credential control rather than cut keys, the Medeco 54515G is an XT electronic indoor/outdoor padlock, non-key retaining, with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter, supplied with cylinder. Note the shackle is thicker than the 1/4 inch on the A1165MK, so verify the hasp eye before switching a fleet over.
20) What is the difference between a brass body padlock and the American Lock A1165MK for gate and exterior use?
The A1165MK carries an anodized aluminum body 1-1/2 inches wide with a chrome plated boron alloy shackle for cut resistance. Brass body alternatives include the Medeco 5260, a 52 Series brass body padlock with a 7/16 inch shackle diameter and M3 key technology in satin chrome, and the Schlage KS23D/KS23F brass padlock with a 5/16 inch diameter shackle. Both of those use a noticeably heavier shackle than the 1/4 inch on the A1165MK, which is the trade to weigh: the aluminum body is lighter and color coded for lockout, the brass bodies pair with thicker shackles for gates and chain.
21) Which padlock keeps the key captive in the lock while it is open?
The American Lock A1165MK is a rekeyable aluminum padlock ordered with the keys you specify, from zero to four per lock, and it is used for lockout tagout where the worker keeps the key on their person. If the application instead calls for the key to stay captive in the cylinder until the lock is closed - so a door or cabinet cannot be left unlocked - the Sargent 758 is a key retaining standard padlock in US4 satin brass. Its non-key-retaining counterpart is the Sargent 858, also US4 satin brass with a stainless steel shackle.
22) How many American Lock A1165MK padlocks come in a case?
Six per shelf pack and 24 per master carton. For a plant standardizing a lockout program that is the practical ordering unit: one master carton covers a 24-point line, and shelf packs of six break down cleanly by crew or color.
23) Is the American Lock A1165MK a commercial-duty padlock or a consumer one?
Commercial. It is built for facility use, MRO and safety lockout programs, not retail: solid aluminum body, boron alloy shackle, a rekeyable 6-pin cylinder that a locksmith services, and case quantities of 6 and 24 rather than single blister packs.
