American Lock AME-A1205KA BLK 2KEY – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the KA in American Lock A1205KA mean, and will all the locks I order open with the same key?
KA is keyed alike: every A1205KA padlock in the order operates on one common key, so a crew or a facility carries a single key instead of a ring. If you need each lock on its own key, the A1205 (A1205KD) is the keyed different version, A1205KZ is zero-bitted, A1205UN is uncombinated, and A1205KAMK is keyed alike under a master key.
2) Will the A1205KA shackle fit through my hasp or a lockout hole?
The shackle is 5/16 inch diameter, 1-1/8 inch clearance height, and 3/4 inch between the legs. That combination goes through standard safety lockout hasps and most commercial hasp staples, but it is a short shackle, so anything thicker than about an inch of hasp stack or a chain link will not clear. For more vertical clearance, step up in the same family to the A1206 or A1207.
3) Can the A1205KA be rekeyed later, and what cylinder does it use?
It is rekeyable. The cylinder is a 5-pin APTC12, pick resistant, with tens of thousands of key changes, so a locksmith can rekey it into a new system rather than replacing the lock. That is the difference between this and a fixed-key padlock.
4) I need a padlock that takes my facility's interchangeable cores instead of the American Lock rekeyable cylinder - what do I order?
The A1205KA uses a rekeyable 5-pin APTC12 cylinder keyed alike within the order. If you standardize on removable cores across the facility instead, the Sargent 60-858-2 is a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle, and the Sargent 82-856 in the KESO Series is a non-key-retaining padlock with a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case and stainless steel shackle. Both move key control into your core system rather than pinning the padlock cylinder itself.
5) What is the closest alternative to the American Lock A1205KA if I need the same 5/16 inch shackle diameter in a brass body?
The A1205KA has a 5/16 inch shackle diameter on an aluminum body 1-3/4 inches wide. Two brass-body padlocks carry the same 5/16 inch shackle diameter: the Schlage KS23D/KS23F brass padlock, and for a larger shackle the Medeco 5260 in the 52 Series steps up to a 7/16 inch shackle diameter on a brass body in satin chrome. Choose the Schlage KS23D/KS23F if you are matching the 5/16 inch shackle for an existing hasp opening and want brass instead of anodized aluminum.
6) For lockout tagout on an electrical panel, should I use the American Lock A1205KA or a non-conductive padlock?
The A1205KA is a solid aluminum body lock, so it is a conductive metal padlock even though it is offered in nine body colors for identification. Where the work requires a dielectric lock on energized equipment, the ABUS 74/40 insulated safety padlock in the 74 Series has a 1/4 inch shackle diameter and a 1-1/2 inch body width, and the ABUS 76/40 uses a plastic-covered aluminum core with a 1/4 inch shackle diameter and a 1-37/64 inch width. Both step down from the A1205KA's 5/16 inch shackle diameter.
7) For a coastal or wash-down outdoor gate, what should I use instead of the aluminum-body A1205KA?
The A1205KA pairs an aluminum body with a boron alloy steel shackle for cut resistance in harsh outdoor conditions. Where salt exposure is the governing concern, the Medeco 521 G8R is a weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body, supplied less the pop-out cylinder, and the ABUS T84MB/30 Nautic uses a black sleeve body with a 13/64 inch shackle diameter and a 1-17/64 inch body width. Note the T84MB/30 shackle is substantially smaller than the A1205KA's 5/16 inch shackle.
8) Is there an electronic or audit-trail padlock with the same 5/16 inch shackle as the American Lock A1205KA?
Yes. The Medeco 54515G XT is an electronic indoor/outdoor padlock, non-key-retaining, with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter and supplied with a cylinder - the same shackle diameter as the A1205KA, so it drops into the same hasp opening. The A1205KA remains a mechanical keyed lock with a rekeyable 5-pin APTC12 cylinder, so choose it where no credential management system is in place.
9) Can I color code padlocks by trade or department with the A1205KA?
Yes. The 1-3/4 inch aluminum body comes anodized in nine colors: black, blue, brown, clear, green, orange, purple, red and yellow. Electricians on red, mechanical on blue, lockout on yellow, and so on. American Lock also offers laser engraving and custom marking on these bodies.
10) Is an aluminum padlock strong enough for an outdoor gate or yard?
The body is solid aluminum, which does not rust and holds up to weather, and the shackle is hardened boron alloy steel for cut resistance. A dual ball bearing locking mechanism resists pulling and prying. It is built for harsh outdoor conditions, manufacturing plants, tool cribs and self-storage. If you want a steel or stainless body for a gate instead, the Medeco 521 G8R is a weather-tight solid stainless steel body padlock.
11) How many keys come with each A1205KA padlock?
Standard is 2 keys per lock. You can also order it with 0, 1, 3 or 4 keys per lock, which matters on a keyed alike order where you only want a handful of keys across dozens of locks. There is also a key code field on the order so an existing keyed alike group can be matched.
12) Is the ABUS 72/30 a direct substitute for the American Lock A1205KA?
They are both anodized aluminum safety padlocks, but the dimensions differ. The ABUS 72/30 in the 72 Series has a 1-1/4 inch body width and a 3/16 inch shackle diameter, while the A1205KA is 1-3/4 inches wide with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter, a 3/4 inch shackle width and a 1-1/8 inch shackle length. If the hasp was drilled for the 5/16 inch shackle, the 72/30 will pass through but will sit loose in the opening.
13) Does the A1205KA hold the key captive when unlocked, and which padlocks differ on that?
For key retention specifically, the Sargent 758 is a key-retaining standard padlock in a US4 satin brass finish, while the Sargent 858 is non-key-retaining with a stainless steel shackle in the same US4 satin brass, and the Sargent 82-856 is also non-key-retaining. Key-retaining bodies keep the key trapped while the shackle is open, which is what many lockout procedures call for; non-key-retaining lets the operator pocket the key. The A1205KA is supplied keyed alike with a standard two keys per lock, and one, three, four, or zero keys per lock are also available.
14) My hasp needs a long shackle - the A1205KA shackle is too short. What else works?
The A1205KA shackle is 1-1/8 inches tall with a 3/4 inch shackle width, which suits a close-fitting hasp. For thicker hasps or chain links, the Sargent 60-858-2 removable core padlock carries a 2 inch stainless steel shackle. On the A1205KA itself, a #40 sash chain 9 inches long in zinc plating can be ordered with the lock as an alternative to reaching further with the shackle.
15) Can I get the A1205KA with a chain so the lock stays attached to the gate?
Yes. It can be ordered with a #40 sash chain, 9 inches long, zinc plated, attached to the lock body, or with no chain at all. The chain keeps the padlock captive at the opening so it does not get set down and lost on a dock or gate.
16) How do American Lock A1205KA padlocks ship for a large facility order?
They come 6 to a shelf pack and 24 to a master carton, which suits standardizing across a plant or a self-storage site where you are buying keyed alike in quantity.
17) Is the A1205KA rated for commercial use?
It is classified as commercial door hardware and sold as a solid body padlock. American Lock lists it for self-storage units and lockers, tool cribs, manufacturing environments and harsh outdoor conditions, and it works with Edge key control programs.
