American Lock AME-A11KAMK 2KEY – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does "keyed alike master keyed" mean on the American Lock A11KAMK padlock?
On the A11KAMK, every lock in the order opens on the same change key, and all of them also open under a master key you specify. That is the setup for a maintenance crew or storage manager who wants one key on the operator's ring and a single key for all the padlocks on site. If you need each padlock on its own separate key instead, order the A11MK (keyed different, master keyed) or the A11 / A11KD for keyed different with no master.
2) Will the A11KAMK padlock fit my hasp opening?
Check three numbers against your hasp. The body is 1-3/4 inches wide, the shackle is 5/16 inch in diameter, and the clear shackle width (the gap between the legs) is 3/4 inch. Shackle height is 2 inches, so it will reach through a thicker hasp or a chain link than a short-shackle lock. If your staple is thicker than 5/16 inch it won't pass.
3) Can a locksmith rekey the American Lock A11 series aluminum padlock later?
No. The A11KAMK uses a non-rekeyable 5-pin APTC12 cylinder, so it is factory keyed to your requirements and stays that way for the life of the lock. If keys are lost you replace the padlocks, not the pinning. Buyers who need field rekeying or interchangeable core should look at a removable core padlock instead, such as the Sargent 60-858-2.
4) What is the closest alternative to the American Lock A11KAMK if the key system has to be rekeyable in the field?
The A11KAMK uses a non-rekeyable cylinder, so keying is set at the factory. If a locksmith needs to service or change the keying in the field, the Sargent 60-858-2 is a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle, which matches the A11KAMK's 2 inch shackle length while letting the core be pulled and swapped with a control key.
5) If the A11KAMK aluminum body is too large for a tight hasp, what smaller aluminum padlock can be used?
The A11KAMK body measures 1-3/4 inches wide with a 5/16 inch shackle. Where the hasp eye or shackle clearance is tighter, the ABUS 72/30 is an anodized aluminum safety padlock with a 1-1/4 inch body width and a 3/16 inch shackle diameter, a noticeably smaller footprint through the opening.
6) I need the key to stay captive in the lock when it is open - does the A11KAMK do that?
The A11KAMK is supplied keyed alike and master keyed on a non-rekeyable cylinder, and it is not a key retaining design. Where the key must not be removable while the shackle is open, the Sargent 758 is a key retaining standard padlock in US4 satin brass; the Sargent 858 is its non-key-retaining counterpart with a stainless steel shackle.
7) Is an aluminum body padlock a good choice for outdoor or washdown areas?
That is what the A11's solid aluminum body is for. Aluminum doesn't rust, and the boron alloy steel shackle is plated for corrosion resistance, so it holds up in corrosive and wet manufacturing environments better than a plain steel-body lock. For salt-spray marine use or a fully sealed body, a stainless option like the Medeco 521 G8R weather-tight padlock or ABUS's Nautic T84MB/30 is the closer match.
8) How many keys come with each A11KAMK padlock, and can I order them without keys?
Key count is something you choose. Options run 0, 1, 2 (the standard), 3, or 4 keys per lock. Ordering 0 keys per lock is common on large keyed-alike jobs where the site only needs one bitted key set rather than a pair with every padlock.
9) Do I have to give a key code when ordering the A11KAMK?
Because these are factory keyed and non-rekeyable, the order takes a key code entry so the padlocks are cut to the change key and master key you already run on site. If you're starting a new system rather than matching an existing one, the factory assigns the code.
10) Can I get this aluminum padlock with a chain so it stays attached to the gate?
Yes. Either order it plain, or with a #40 sash chain, 9 inches (229mm) long, zinc plated. The chain version keeps the lock captive on a gate, locker, or valve so it isn't set down and lost, which is why storage and MRO buyers pick it.
11) How does the A11KAMK differ from the A10 and A12 aluminum padlocks?
Same solid aluminum non-rekeyable family, different shackle height. The A11 carries a 2 inch tall shackle; the A10 is the shorter-shackle model and the A12 the taller one in the same body line. Pick by how much clearance your hasp, chain, or cabinet latch needs.
12) Which padlock has the same shackle diameter as the American Lock A11KAMK but a brass body?
The A11KAMK carries a 5/16 inch diameter shackle on a solid aluminum body 1-3/4 inches wide. The Schlage KS23D/KS23F is also a 5/16 inch diameter shackle padlock but uses a brass body, which is the usual choice where an existing hasp or gate is already fitted with brass-cased locks.
13) What is the difference between the A11KAMK and an electrical safety lockout padlock like the ABUS 74/40?
The A11KAMK is a keyed security padlock with a solid aluminum body, 1-3/4 inch wide, intended for self-storage, lockers and plant use. The ABUS 74/40 is an insulated safety padlock with a 6-pin cylinder, 1-1/2 inch body and 1/4 inch shackle, and the ABUS 76/40 uses a plastic-covered aluminum core at 1 37/64 inch wide. Those covered bodies are built for lockout/tagout on energized equipment, a different job from general keyed security.
14) Is there an audit-trail or electronic padlock option instead of the mechanical A11KAMK?
The A11KAMK is fully mechanical, using a 5-pin APTC12 cylinder factory keyed to your key code. If the site needs access records or schedulable credentials, the Medeco 54515G XT is an electronic indoor/outdoor padlock, non-key retaining, with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter - the same shackle diameter as the A11KAMK, so it fits comparable hasps.
15) For a high-security master key system across a facility, what would I use instead of the A11KAMK?
The A11KAMK can be factory master keyed on its 5-pin cylinder with Edge key control. If the facility standard is a patented high-security system, the Medeco 5260 is a 52 Series brass body padlock with a 7/16 inch shackle diameter using M3 key technology in satin chrome, and the Sargent 82-856 is a non-key-retaining KESO Series padlock with a 2 by 2 inch brass case and stainless steel shackle - both keyed into their own proprietary systems rather than the American Lock keyway.
16) How are these packed for a multi-unit or self-storage rollout?
Shelf packs are 6 padlocks and the master carton holds 24, which suits ordering by the building or by the row of units rather than one at a time.
17) What alternatives should I look at if I need a heavier shackle than 5/16 inch?
The A11's shackle is 5/16 inch boron alloy steel. If you want more mass, the Medeco 5260 brass body padlock runs a 7/16 inch shackle. Going the other way, for lockout/tagout style safety locks at lighter duty, ABUS 72/30 uses a 3/16 inch shackle in a 1-1/4 inch anodized aluminum body and the 74/40 and 76/40 use 1/4 inch.
18) What color is the American Lock A11 aluminum padlock body?
Grey. It is a plain solid aluminum body, not one of the color-coded safety lockout padlocks, so don't specify it where a crew needs colored locks for department identification.
