American Lock AME-A1166KA BLK 2KEY – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the KA in American Lock A1166KA mean, and will all the padlocks I order open with the same key?
KA is keyed alike: every A1166KA in the order operates from one common key, so a maintenance tech carries a single key for the whole group. If you want each lock on its own key instead, order the A1166 (A1166KD) keyed different version, or the A1166KAMK if you need one key across the group plus a master key above it. Zero-bitted (A1166KZ) and uncombinated (A1166UN) versions exist if your locksmith pins them in house.
2) Will the A1166KA padlock shackle fit through my lockout hasp or breaker cleat?
The shackle is 1/4 inch in diameter with 1-1/2 inch of vertical clearance and a 25/32 inch inside width, and the lock body is 1-1/2 inch wide. That clears the holes on standard lockout hasps and most breaker lockout devices. If you are locking a thicker gate latch or stacking multiple devices, measure the shank length you need first, since 1-1/2 inch is all the vertical opening you get.
3) Is the A1166KA safe to use for lockout tagout in a food processing plant?
Yes. The anodized aluminum body is called out as suitable for lockout tagout in food processing facilities, and the corrosion resistant finish holds up in washdown and other rough environments. The chrome plated boron alloy shackle adds cut resistance over a standard steel shackle.
4) Can the A1166KA be rekeyed later, or do I have to replace the locks?
It is a rekeyable lock. The 6-pin APTC14 cylinder can be recombinated, with over 40,000 key changes available, so when you lose a key or turn over staff you repin rather than buy new bodies. That is the main reason this line gets specified over sealed, non-serviceable safety padlocks.
5) How do I order the A1166KA to match key codes we already have on site?
There is a key code field on the order. Enter the existing code from the bow of your current American Lock key and the new locks are cut to that code, so they drop into a key system already running in the building. Leave it blank and you get a factory keyed alike group on its own code.
6) What is the closest equivalent to the American Lock A1166KA aluminum safety padlock from another brand?
The A1166KA is a 1-1/2 inch wide aluminum-body padlock with a 1/4 inch diameter shackle. The closest dimensional match from another maker is the ABUS 74/40 insulated safety padlock, which uses a 6-pin cylinder with a 1/4 inch shackle diameter and a 1-1/2 inch body width. The ABUS 76/40 is also close on shackle size at 1/4 inch diameter, with a slightly wider 1-37/64 inch body and a plastic-covered aluminum core rather than a solid anodized aluminum body.
7) I need a smaller lockout padlock than the A1166KA for a tight hasp. What else is there?
The A1166KA body measures 1-1/2 inches wide with a 1/4 inch shackle. If the hasp opening is tighter, the ABUS 72/30 anodized aluminum safety padlock steps down to a 1-1/4 inch body width and a 3/16 inch shackle diameter, which clears smaller eyes and lighter hasps.
8) What colors does the A1166KA come in, and can I use color to separate crews or trades?
Nine body colors: black, blue, brown, clear, green, orange, purple, red and yellow. On an energy control program that is how most facilities assign locks by department, shift, or authorized employee. American Lock also publishes the per-color part numbers (A1166KABLU, A1166KARED, A1166KAYLW and so on) if you need to spec a single color on a PO.
9) How many keys come with each A1166KA padlock?
Standard is 2 keys per lock. You can also order 0, 1, 3 or 4 keys per lock. Facilities running a strict lockout program often take 1 key per lock so no spare exists; 0 keys per lock is used when the keys are issued separately to a keyed alike group.
10) Can I get the A1166KA with a chain so the lock stays attached to the equipment?
Yes. It can be ordered with a #40 sash chain, 9 inches long, zinc plated, or with no chain at all. The chain option keeps the padlock captive on a gate, panel, or cabinet so it does not walk off between lockouts.
11) How is the A1166 different from the A1165 and A1167 aluminum padlocks?
All three share the same 1-1/2 inch wide solid aluminum body and boron shackle; the difference is shackle clearance. The A1166 carries the 1-1/2 inch shackle. The A1165 is the shorter option and the A1167 the longer one in the same family, so pick by how much shank you need to reach through the hasp or chain link.
12) What are the alternatives to an aluminum safety padlock like the A1166KA?
If you want the same 1-1/2 inch body width and 1/4 inch shackle but an insulated body, the ABUS 74/40 is a 6-pin insulated safety padlock in that size. The ABUS 76/40 is a plastic-covered aluminum core lock with a 1/4 inch shackle. The ABUS 72/30 steps down to a 1-1/4 inch body and 3/16 inch shackle where the hasp hole is smaller. For a brass or stainless bodied padlock on a high security key system rather than a lockout lock, look at the Sargent 758 or the Medeco 521 G8R with its solid stainless steel body.
13) We are standardizing on a small-format interchangeable core system. Is the A1166KA the right padlock?
The A1166KA uses a rekeyable pinned cylinder and is supplied keyed alike, so it is rekeyed at the lock rather than by pulling a core. If your facility keys everything by removable core, the Sargent 60-858-2 is a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle, and the Sargent 82-856 of the KESO series is a non-key retaining padlock with a 2 by 2 inch brass case and a stainless steel shackle. Those fit a core-based masterkey program; the A1166KA fits a pin-and-key program.
14) The A1166KA has an aluminum body. What should I use where I need a metal-bodied padlock outdoors instead?
The A1166KA uses an aluminum body, which is chosen for lockout tagout and food processing work. For exposed exterior service, the Medeco 521 G8R is a weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body, and the Medeco 5260 of the 52 Series uses a brass body with a 7/16 inch shackle diameter and a satin chrome finish. Both are considerably heavier-bodied than the aluminum A1166KA.
15) Can I use a Sargent 758 or 858 padlock in place of the American Lock A1166KA?
They are different tools. The A1166KA is a rekeyable aluminum-body padlock offered keyed alike in nine body colors for lockout and identification work. The Sargent 758 is a key retaining standard padlock in a US4 satin brass finish, and the Sargent 858 is the non-key retaining version with a stainless steel shackle in the same US4 satin brass. A key retaining lock like the 758 will not release the key while the lock is open, which is the opposite behavior most lockout programs want from a padlock, so confirm which behavior your procedure calls for before swapping.
16) Which padlock should I look at if I want audit trail and access control instead of a mechanical key like the A1166KA uses?
The A1166KA is a mechanical keyed padlock with a rekeyable pin cylinder. If you want electronic credentialing rather than a cut key, the Medeco 54515G XT is an electronic indoor/outdoor padlock, non-key retaining, with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter and cylinder included. That is a different keying platform entirely, so it will not share keys with an American Lock aluminum padlock.
17) What quantities does the A1166KA ship in for a bulk lockout program?
Six locks to a shelf pack and 24 to a master carton. For a plant rolling out energy control across multiple lines, that is the unit to plan around when you want whole cartons on one key code.
18) Will an aluminum body padlock hold up outdoors on gates and yard equipment?
The body is solid aluminum with an anodized, corrosion resistant finish, which is why it gets used in washdown and exposed settings, and the shackle is chrome plated boron alloy. For permanently exposed marine or coastal service, a stainless bodied lock such as the Medeco 521 G8R weather-tight padlock is the heavier answer.
19) Is the ABUS T84MB/30 a substitute for the A1166KA on our lockout program?
No. The A1166KA is a 1-1/2 inch wide aluminum lockout style padlock available in nine body colors for worker identification. 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, sold in a three-pack and built around marine use. Its shackle and body are both smaller and it does not offer the color coding a lockout program relies on.
