American Lock AME-A1205KZ BLK 2KEY – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does zero-bitted mean on the American Lock A1205KZ padlock, and will it work out of the box?
Zero-bitted means the A1205KZ ships with its 5-pin APTC12 rekeyable cylinder pinned to all-zero bittings, so a locksmith has to key it to your system before it goes into service. It is not a ready-to-use lock like a keyed-different or keyed-alike version. If you want it usable as delivered, order the A1205 (A1205KD) keyed different, the A1205KA keyed alike, or the master keyed A1205MK or A1205KAMK instead.
2) Will a 5/16 inch shackle fit through my hasp, and how much clearance does the shackle give?
The A1205KZ shackle is 5/16 inch (8mm) in diameter with a 3/4 inch clearance between the legs and a 1-1/8 inch (29mm) vertical clearance. The hasp eye or chain link has to accept 5/16 inch stock, and whatever you are locking through needs to sit inside that 3/4 by 1-1/8 inch opening. Larger hasps need a long-shackle model such as the A1206 or A1207.
3) Can these padlocks be brought into an existing master key system?
Yes. The A1205 uses a rekeyable 5-pin APTC12 cylinder with tens of thousands of key changes, and the family includes master keyed versions, the A1205MK keyed different under a master and the A1205KAMK keyed alike under a master. American Lock also offers Edge key control, keying options, and laser engraving or custom marking for lock identification. The KZ zero-bitted version is the one you buy when your own locksmith will pin it to the system.
4) What is the closest alternative to the American Lock A1205KZ if I need the same 5/16 inch shackle diameter but a brass body instead of aluminum?
The A1205KZ uses a 5/16 inch diameter shackle on an aluminum body 1-3/4 inch wide. The Schlage KS23D/KS23F padlock is a brass padlock that also carries a 5/16 inch diameter shackle, so it matches on shackle stock while changing the body material to brass. The Medeco 5260, a 52 Series brass body padlock, steps up to a 7/16 inch shackle diameter if you want heavier shackle stock in brass.
5) I need color-coded safety lockout padlocks smaller than the American Lock A1205KZ. What else works?
The A1205KZ is a 1-3/4 inch wide anodized aluminum body available in black, blue, brown, clear, green, orange, purple, red and yellow for crew identification. If the hasp is tight and you need a narrower body, 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, and the ABUS 74/40 insulated safety padlock runs a 1-1/2 inch body with a 1/4 inch shackle on a 6-pin cylinder. Both use thinner shackle stock than the 5/16 inch on the A1205KZ.
6) My facility standardizes on interchangeable core. Is the American Lock A1205KZ the right padlock for that?
The A1205KZ is a rekeyable padlock supplied zero-bitted, meaning a locksmith pins the 5-pin APTC12 cylinder to your existing key system at the bench. That is a conventional cylinder, not a removable core. If your program is built around removable cores that a facility can swap without disassembly, the Sargent 60-858-2 is a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle, and the Sargent 82-856 is a KESO Series non-key-retaining padlock with a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case and stainless shackle.
7) What is the difference between the American Lock A1205, A1206 and A1207 aluminum padlocks?
All three share the same 1-3/4 inch (44mm) solid aluminum body and boron alloy shackle; the difference is shackle height. The A1205 uses the 1-1/8 inch (29mm) shackle, with the A1206 and A1207 stepping up from there. Pick by how thick a hasp or how many lockout tags you need to capture, then choose the keying suffix: KD keyed different, KA keyed alike, KZ zero-bitted, UN uncombinated, MK or KAMK for master keyed.
8) Can I color code these American Lock aluminum padlocks by department or by employee?
Yes. The anodized aluminum body comes in nine colors: black, blue, brown, clear, green, orange, purple, red and yellow. That is the usual way safety lockout programs assign a color per trade, shift or individual, and the aluminum body keeps the lock light enough to wear on a belt all day.
9) Does the A1205KZ padlock come with keys, and can I order extra keys per lock?
Key count is something you choose when ordering: 0, 1, 3 or 4 keys per lock, with the standard being 2 keys per lock. On a zero-bitted lock the keys are cut when the cylinder is keyed, so match the count to how many people need access to each lock.
10) Can I get this American Lock padlock with a chain so it stays attached to the gate?
Yes. The A1205KZ 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 captive on a gate, locker or tool crib door so it does not walk off when the opening is unlocked.
11) Is an aluminum body padlock strong enough for outdoor gates and manufacturing use?
The A1205 body is solid aluminum with an anodized finish, which resists corrosion outdoors, and the cut resistance comes from the hardened boron alloy steel shackle rather than the body. A dual ball bearing locking mechanism resists pulling and prying. American Lock lists it for self-storage units and lockers, harsh outdoor conditions, manufacturing environments and tool cribs. If you want a steel or stainless body instead, look at the Medeco 521 G8R with its solid stainless steel body.
12) Will the American Lock A1205KZ hold up on a coastal or washdown application, or should I use something else?
The A1205KZ pairs a solid aluminum body with a hardened boron alloy steel shackle, and the anodized finish is aimed at harsh outdoor conditions and manufacturing environments. Where you want a non-ferrous or sealed body instead, the Medeco 521 G8R is a weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body, and the ABUS T84MB/30 Nautic is a sleeve-covered padlock with a 13/64 inch shackle diameter and a 1-17/64 inch body width for marine use. Both change the body material rather than matching the aluminum construction.
13) Does the American Lock A1205KZ retain the key when unlocked, and what are the alternatives either way?
The A1205KZ is a rekeyable aluminum padlock ordered with 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4 keys per lock and can be ordered with a #40 sash chain 9 inches long for tethering. On the key retention question, the Sargent 758 is a key retaining standard padlock in US4 satin brass, while the Sargent 858 is non-key retaining with a stainless steel shackle in the same US4 satin brass finish, so the 758 and 858 give you a choice between the two behaviors in a brass body.
14) We want audit trail and electronic credentials on our gates. Can the American Lock A1205KZ do that?
The A1205KZ is a mechanical padlock with a 5-pin APTC12 rekeyable cylinder pinned from zero-bitted, so access is controlled by cut keys. For an electronic credential instead, the Medeco 54515G XT is an electronic indoor/outdoor padlock, non-key retaining, with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter supplied with cylinder. That shackle diameter matches the 5/16 inch on the A1205KZ, so hasp clearance carries over.
15) Is a plastic-covered padlock like the ABUS 76/40 the same thing as the American Lock A1205KZ?
No. The A1205KZ is a solid aluminum body 1-3/4 inch wide with a 5/16 inch diameter boron alloy steel shackle and a 1-1/8 inch shackle clearance. The ABUS 76/40 is a plastic-covered aluminum core padlock with a 1/4 inch shackle diameter and a 1-37/64 inch width, so the cover protects the mating surface and the shackle stock is lighter. They look similar in a photo but differ in body construction and shackle size.
16) How many of these padlocks come in a box if I am buying for a facility?
The A1205KZ ships 6 per shelf pack and 24 per master carton, which is the practical buying unit when you are standardizing lockout or tool crib locks across a site.
17) Is the American Lock A1205 a commercial-duty padlock or a consumer one?
It is classed as commercial. The A1205 is a solid body padlock aimed at facility and industrial use, self-storage and lockers, tool cribs, manufacturing plants and exposed outdoor openings, not a retail luggage or shed lock.
