American Lock AME-A1166KZ BLK 2KEY – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does zero-bitted mean on the American Lock A1166KZ padlock, and do I need anything else to use it?
Zero-bitted means the A1166KZ ships with its 6-pin APTC14 cylinder pinned to all-zero, so a locksmith has to key it to your own bitting before it goes into service. You will need your own key blanks and pinning kit. If you want locks that arrive ready to use, order the keyed-different, keyed-alike or master-keyed versions of the same lock instead (A1166KD, A1166KA, A1166MK, A1166KAMK).
2) Will a 1/4 inch shackle padlock fit a standard lockout hasp?
The A1166KZ uses a 1/4 inch diameter shackle with 1-1/2 inch clearance and 25/32 inch between the shackle legs, which is the common safety-lockout size and passes through standard lockout hasp eyes. Measure the eye on your hasp or valve cover against the 25/32 inch inside width before committing to a large order.
3) Can I use these aluminum padlocks for lockout tagout in a food plant?
Yes. The black anodized aluminum body on the A1166KZ is specified for lockout in food processing facilities, and the anodized finish resists corrosion in washdown and other harsh environments. It is a commercial-duty lock, not a residential one.
4) I need a padlock on a facility master key system, not a lockout lock. Is the A1166KZ the right choice?
Not usually. The A1166KZ is a zero-bitted aluminum safety padlock built for lockout tagout, and its cylinder is American Lock's own 6-pin APTC14. For a padlock that runs on an existing institutional system, look at a removable-core or brand-matched padlock instead, such as the Sargent 60-858-2 removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless shackle, or the Schlage KS23D/KS23F brass padlock with a 5/16 inch shackle.
5) What is the closest equivalent to the American Lock A1166KZ aluminum safety padlock from another brand?
The ABUS 74/40 insulated safety padlock is the nearest match on the core dimensions: it carries a 6-pin cylinder, a 1/4 inch shackle diameter and a 1-1/2 inch body width, the same 1/4 inch shackle diameter and 1-1/2 inch body width the A1166KZ uses. The difference is construction and keying state - the A1166KZ is a solid aluminum body supplied zero-bitted so a locksmith pins it to an existing system, while the 74/40 is an insulated body in the ABUS 74 Series.
6) I need a smaller lockout padlock than the 1-1/2 inch American Lock A1166KZ for a tight disconnect - what else works?
The ABUS 72/30 anodized aluminum safety padlock steps down to a 1-1/4 inch body width with a 3/16 inch shackle diameter, so it fits a hasp or breaker hole that will not take the A1166KZ's 1-1/2 inch body and 1/4 inch shackle. Both are anodized aluminum bodies intended for safety lockout; the thinner 3/16 inch shackle on the 72/30 passes through smaller lockout device openings.
7) Can I use a Sargent 758 padlock in place of the American Lock A1166KZ on my lockout program?
They are built for different jobs. 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 opposite of what a lockout tagout program needs, since the worker must carry the key away with the shackle locked. The A1166KZ is an aluminum body lockout padlock supplied zero-bitted and offered in nine lockbody colors including red, yellow and green for worker identification.
8) My facility is standardized on a removable core keying system - is the American Lock A1166KZ the right padlock?
The A1166KZ is a rekeyable pin tumbler padlock shipped zero-bitted, so it is pinned to a conventional key system rather than accepting an interchangeable core. If your program runs on removable cores, the Sargent 60-858-2 removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle lets you drop in the same core used across the rest of the facility. Note the 60-858-2 carries a 2 inch shackle against the 1-1/2 inch shackle length on the A1166KZ.
9) What is the difference between the American Lock A1165, A1166 and A1167 aluminum padlocks?
All three are the same 1-1/2 inch wide solid aluminum body with a boron alloy shackle; the number tells you shackle length. The A1166 gives 1-1/2 inch of shackle clearance. The A1165 is the shorter shackle and the A1167 the longer one in the same family. Pick by how much material the shackle has to reach around.
10) What colors do the American Lock A1166KZ padlocks come in for department color coding?
Nine body colors: black, blue, brown, clear, green, orange, purple, red and yellow. That covers per-trade or per-shift color coding on an energy control program, and the matching part numbers run A1166KZBLU, A1166KZBRN, A1166KZCLR, A1166KZGRN, A1166KZORJ, A1166KZPRP, A1166KZRED and A1166KZYLW.
11) How many keys come with an American Lock A1166KZ, and can I order it with none?
Standard is 2 keys per lock. You can also order 0, 1, 3 or 4 keys per lock. Shops that cut their own keys for a zero-bitted lock often take the 0-key option; supervisors running one-key-per-person lockout usually take 1.
12) Can I get the A1166 padlock with a chain attached so it stays with the equipment?
Yes. The A1166KZ 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 a gate, valve or panel so it does not walk off between shutdowns.
13) What is a good alternative to the American Lock A1166 aluminum safety padlock?
Two close ones. The ABUS 74/40 is an insulated safety padlock with a 6-pin cylinder, 1/4 inch shackle diameter and the same 1-1/2 inch body width, so it swaps into the same hasp. The ABUS 76/40 is a plastic-covered aluminum core lock at 1/4 inch shackle and 1-37/64 inch width. If you need a smaller body, the ABUS 72/30 is 1-1/4 inch wide with a 3/16 inch shackle, which will fit tighter hasp eyes but is a lighter-duty shackle than the boron one on the A1166.
14) Is the shackle on the A1166 padlock cut resistant enough for outdoor gates and equipment?
The shackle is 1/4 inch diameter chrome plated boron alloy, chosen for cut resistance, on a solid aluminum body with a corrosion resistant anodized finish. That combination is aimed at rough and wet environments. For a marine or fully weather-sealed application, a stainless body lock like the Medeco 521 G8R weather-tight padlock is the different tool for that job.
15) What should I use instead of the American Lock A1166KZ for an exposed outdoor gate rather than an indoor lockout point?
The A1166KZ is an anodized aluminum body with a 1/4 inch chrome plated boron shackle built for lockout tagout and food processing environments. For a weather exposed gate, the Medeco 521 G8R is a weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body, and the Medeco 5260 uses a brass body with a heavier 7/16 inch shackle diameter in satin chrome. Both trade the colored aluminum lockout body for a metal case sized to outdoor gate duty.
16) Is the ABUS 76/40 a direct substitute for the American Lock A1166KZ?
They share a 1/4 inch shackle diameter, but the bodies differ. The ABUS 76/40 is a plastic-covered aluminum core padlock measuring 1 37/64 inch wide, where the A1166KZ is solid aluminum with an anodized finish at 1-1/2 inch wide. The plastic jacket on the 76/40 adds a non-marring surface; the anodized aluminum on the A1166KZ is specified for food processing lockout and corrosion resistance.
17) What is the difference between the American Lock A1166KZ and a Schlage KS23D padlock for facility use?
The Schlage KS23D/KS23F is a brass bodied padlock with a 5/16 inch diameter shackle in the Schlage 20 Series, keyed into Schlage cylinder systems. The A1166KZ is a 1-1/2 inch wide aluminum body with a 1/4 inch boron alloy shackle, supplied zero-bitted and available in nine lockbody colors, which is how lockout programs assign a lock to a specific technician or trade. Choose on whether you need brass gate and equipment security or color-coded aluminum lockout devices.
18) If I want an electronic audit trail instead of a mechanical key on my padlocks, what replaces the American Lock A1166KZ?
The Medeco 54515G XT is an electronic indoor/outdoor padlock, non-key retaining, with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter and cylinder included - it uses an electronic credential rather than a cut mechanical key. The A1166KZ is a mechanical 6-pin rekeyable padlock shipped zero-bitted, so it is pinned in-house and controlled by physical key distribution, with orders available at 0 through 4 keys per lock.
19) I need a longer shackle than the American Lock A1166KZ gives me to reach through a thick hasp - what are the options?
The A1166KZ has a 1-1/2 inch shackle length with a 25/32 inch shackle width, which limits how much material it can span. For a longer reach, the Sargent 60-858-2 and the Sargent 82-856 both use a 2 inch stainless steel shackle, the 82-856 on a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case. Another route on the A1166KZ itself is a version supplied with a #40 sash chain, 9 inch long and zinc plated, which tethers the lock where the hasp opening is the constraint.
20) How many American Lock A1166KZ padlocks come in a box?
Shelf pack is 6 and the master carton holds 24. Useful if you are standardizing a facility and buying by the carton rather than the piece.
21) How many key changes does the rekeyable American Lock A1166 cylinder support?
Over 40,000 key changes on the 6-pin tumbler rekeyable cylinder. That is enough depth to key a large site into distinct departments without repeats, and because the lock is rekeyable you can re-pin it when a key goes missing rather than replacing the hardware.
22) Which padlock holds up better in a salt or marine environment than the American Lock A1166KZ?
The A1166KZ uses an anodized aluminum body with a corrosion resistant finish and a chrome plated boron shackle, which suits washdown and tough indoor industrial settings. For direct marine exposure, the ABUS T84MB/30 Nautic is a black sleeve padlock with a 13/64 inch shackle diameter and 1 17/64 inch body width, and the Medeco 521 G8R is a weather-tight design with a solid stainless steel body. Both step up corrosion protection at a smaller and a larger body size respectively.
23) Does the Sargent 858 do the same job as the American Lock A1166KZ?
Both are non-key-retaining style locks you can remove the key from, but they are built differently. The Sargent 858 is a padlock with a stainless steel shackle in a US4 satin brass finish. The A1166KZ is a 1-1/2 inch wide aluminum body with a 1/4 inch chrome plated boron alloy shackle, ordered zero-bitted for in-house pinning and available in colors such as red, yellow, blue and green. If the requirement is color-identified lockout devices, the aluminum body is the one that meets it; if it is a brass finished padlock for general facility use, the 858 fits.
