American Lock AME-A1205KD BLK 2KEY – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the KD suffix mean on the American Lock A1205KD, and should I order keyed alike instead?
KD is keyed different: every lock comes on its own unique key, so no two open each other. That is what you want for tenant self-storage units or lockers where each user gets their own lock. If one person or one crew needs to open a group of locks with a single key, order the A1205KA keyed alike version instead. There is also A1205KZ zero-bitted and A1205UN uncombinated for a locksmith who keys locks in-house, and A1205MK or A1205KAMK when the openings have to sit under a master key.
2) Can the American Lock A1205 aluminum padlock be rekeyed by our locksmith?
Yes. The A1205 carries a rekeyable 5-pin APTC12 cylinder, so a locksmith can repin it to your existing keyway rather than replacing the lock. It is a pick-resistant cylinder with tens of thousands of key changes available, which is what makes it workable for a facility that rotates keys or brings lost-key units back into service.
3) I need a lighter-duty color-coded safety lockout padlock than the American Lock A1205 - what else is there?
The A1205 is a 1-3/4 inch wide aluminum body with a 5/16 inch shackle, and it comes in nine anodized body colors including black, blue, brown, clear, green, orange, purple, red and yellow for crew identification. If you want a smaller, lighter aluminum safety padlock, 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. The ABUS 74/40 is an insulated safety padlock with a 1-1/2 inch body and 1/4 inch shackle, using a 6-pin cylinder. Both are narrower bodies with thinner shackles than the A1205.
4) My facility standardizes on interchangeable core padlocks - can the American Lock A1205 be used, or do I need something else?
The A1205 uses a rekeyable 5-pin APTC12 cylinder, which is rekeyed by repinning rather than by swapping a core. If your keying program runs on removable cores, look at the Sargent 60-858-2 removable core padlock, which carries a 2 inch stainless steel shackle. Both can be brought onto a master key system, but only the Sargent 60-858-2 lets a locksmith pull and replace the core in the field without disassembling the lock.
5) What is the closest equivalent to an American Lock A1205 padlock if I need a shackle the same diameter but a non-aluminum body?
The American Lock A1205 uses a 5/16 inch diameter shackle on a 1-3/4 inch wide aluminum body. The Schlage KS23D/KS23F padlock also carries a 5/16 inch diameter shackle but uses a brass body instead of aluminum. Medeco's 54515G XT electronic padlock is another 5/16 inch shackle diameter option, though it is an electronic indoor/outdoor lock rather than a mechanical rekeyable cylinder lock. If the 5/16 inch shackle is what has to match your existing hasps, those are the two peers built to the same shackle diameter.
6) Are the colored A1205 padlock bodies just cosmetic, or do they matter for lockout/tagout?
Color is how you assign locks in the field. The aluminum body is anodized in black, blue, brown, clear, green, orange, purple, red, or yellow, which lets you assign a color per trade, per shift, or per authorized employee on an energy-isolation point. The lock itself is identical across colors: same 1-3/4 inch wide aluminum body, same 5/16 inch boron shackle. American Lock also offers laser engraving and custom marking if you need names or department numbers on the body.
7) How many keys come with an American Lock A1205 padlock?
Standard is 2 keys per lock. You can also order it at 1, 3, or 4 keys per lock, or 0 keys per lock if you are keying them yourself or already hold the key blanks for that system. Worth settling before you order, because key count on a large keyed-different order is not something you want to sort out after delivery.
8) Can I get the A1205 padlock with a chain attached so it stays with the gate?
Yes. The A1205 can be ordered with a #40 sash chain, 9 inches (229mm) long, zinc plated, or with no chain at all. The chain option keeps the lock tethered to the hasp, cabinet, or gate post so it does not walk off or get set down and lost during a shift.
9) Will the American Lock A1205 hold up outdoors, or should I use a stainless or weather-sealed padlock instead?
The A1205 has a solid aluminum body with a durable anodized finish and a boron alloy steel shackle, and it is listed for harsh outdoor conditions and manufacturing environments. For openings where you want a sealed or stainless body instead, the Medeco 521 G8R is a weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body, supplied less pop-out cylinder. The ABUS 76/40 takes a different approach with a plastic-covered aluminum core and a 1/4 inch shackle diameter, and the ABUS T84MB/30 Nautic uses a black sleeve over the body with a 13/64 inch shackle on a 1-17/64 inch body.
10) What is the difference between the American Lock A1205 and a Sargent 758 or 858 padlock?
The A1205 is a solid aluminum body padlock, 1-3/4 inches wide, with a 5/16 inch diameter boron alloy steel shackle 1-1/8 inches tall. 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. Key retaining means the key cannot be withdrawn while the lock is open, which matters for lockout programs where a key left in an open lock is a problem. The A1205's selling points are the aluminum body, the color options, and the rekeyable cylinder.
11) I need a heavier shackle than the American Lock A1205 offers - what padlock steps up?
The A1205 shackle is 5/16 inch in diameter with a 3/4 inch shackle width and 1-1/8 inch clearance. If your hasp takes a thicker shank, the Medeco 5260 52 Series brass body padlock uses a 7/16 inch shackle diameter with M3 key technology in a satin chrome finish. The Sargent 82-856 is another heavier option, a non-key retaining padlock with a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case and a stainless steel shackle on the KESO system. Confirm your hasp eye will pass the larger shank before ordering either.
12) Is the ABUS 72/30 a drop-in replacement for an American Lock A1205 on the same hasp?
No. Both are anodized aluminum safety padlocks, but the dimensions differ. The A1205 is 1-3/4 inches wide with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter, while the ABUS 72/30 is 1-1/4 inches wide with a 3/16 inch shackle diameter. The 72/30 will pass through a hasp sized for the A1205, but it will not fill it, and it will not key into an American Lock keying program. Treat it as a different lock, not a swap.
13) Should I use the American Lock A1205 or an electronic padlock for remote gates and outlying assets?
The A1205 is a mechanical padlock with a rekeyable 5-pin APTC12 cylinder and a boron alloy steel shackle, keyed different as supplied. If you need audit trail and credential-based access instead of cut keys, the Medeco 54515G XT is an electronic indoor/outdoor padlock, non-key retaining, with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter and cylinder included. Shackle diameter is the same on both, so the hasp does not change - what changes is whether the site runs on keys or on programmed credentials.
14) How are American Lock A1205 padlocks packed for a bulk facility order?
They ship 6 per shelf pack and 24 per master carton, which is convenient if you are standardizing a building or a plant and issuing locks by department. For a keyed-different order, remember each lock in the carton is on its own key.
