American Lock AME-A1206KD BLK 2KEY – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the American Lock A1206 padlock fit through my hasp or chain link?
Check two numbers before you order. The A1206 shackle is 5/16 inch diameter with a 3/4 inch clearance between the shackle legs, and the vertical shackle length is 2 inches. So the hasp staple or chain link has to accept a 5/16 inch bar, and whatever you are locking through has to fit inside a 3/4 inch wide by 2 inch tall opening. The body itself is 1-3/4 inch wide, which matters when the hasp sits in a recessed pocket.
2) What does keyed different mean on the American Lock A1206, and how do I get locks that all share one key?
Keyed different (the A1206KD) means every padlock ships on its own unique key, so no two locks in the order open each other. That is what you want for tenant storage units or individual tool cribs. If you need one key to open a group of locks, American Lock makes the same padlock as the A1206KA keyed alike, the A1206MK keyed different under a master key, and the A1206KAMK keyed alike under a master key. If your locksmith wants to key them on site, the A1206KZ is zero-bitted and the A1206UN is uncombinated.
3) Can the A1206 be rekeyed later, or do I have to replace the lock when keys go missing?
It rekeys. The A1206 uses a 5-pin APTC12 rekeyable cylinder with tens of thousands of key changes, so a locksmith can repin it into your existing system instead of you buying a new padlock. That is the practical difference between this and a sealed non-rekeyable padlock when a tenant walks off with a key.
4) Is the American Lock A1206 a lockout tagout safety padlock?
No. The A1206 is a commercial security padlock with a hardened boron alloy steel shackle and a dual ball bearing locking mechanism built to resist cutting, pulling and prying. Electrical lockout/tagout calls for a non-conductive or insulated safety lock instead, such as the ABUS 74/40 insulated safety padlock with a 6-pin cylinder and 1-1/2 inch body, the ABUS 76/40 plastic-covered aluminum core padlock, or the ABUS 72/30 anodized aluminum safety padlock at 1-1/4 inch body width with a 3/16 inch shackle.
5) What padlock has the same 5/16 inch shackle diameter as the American Lock A1206?
The American Lock A1206 uses a 5/16 inch diameter shackle with a 2 inch shackle length. Two other padlocks share that 5/16 inch shackle diameter: the Schlage KS23D/KS23F brass padlock and the Medeco 54515G XT electronic indoor/outdoor padlock, which is non-key retaining. The A1206 differs in body material - it is solid aluminum, where the Schlage KS23D/KS23F has a brass body.
6) I need a padlock that takes an interchangeable core instead of a rekeyable pin cylinder - what should I order instead of the American Lock A1206?
The A1206 is a rekeyable padlock built around a 5-pin APTC12 cylinder. If your facility keys everything on removable cores, the Sargent 60-858-2 removable core padlock is the alternative; it carries a 2 inch stainless steel shackle, matching the A1206's 2 inch shackle length.
7) I need color-coded padlocks for a lockout/tagout program - does the American Lock A1206 work, or is there a purpose-built safety padlock?
The A1206 is offered in black, blue, brown, clear, green, orange, purple, red and yellow lockbody colors, so a single 1-3/4 inch aluminum body can be color coded by department or by worker. Purpose-built safety padlock alternatives include the ABUS 74/40 insulated safety padlock with a 6-pin cylinder, 1/4 inch shackle and 1-1/2 inch body, and the ABUS 76/40 plastic-covered aluminum core padlock with a 1/4 inch shackle.
8) Is an aluminum body padlock like the American Lock A1206 alright outdoors, or should I use steel or brass?
The A1206 body is solid aluminum with a black anodized finish, which is the reason to pick it outdoors: aluminum will not rust the way a plated steel body does, and the cutting resistance is carried by the hardened boron alloy steel shackle rather than the body. American Lock lists it for harsh outdoor conditions, self-storage units and lockers, manufacturing environments and tool cribs. If your application is marine or wash-down and you want a metal body that resists corrosion differently, the Medeco 521 G8R is a weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body, and the Sargent 858 uses a brass body with a stainless steel shackle.
9) Can I color code padlocks by department or crew with the A1206?
Yes, and that is the usual reason people buy this one in quantity. The A1206 lockbody comes in nine colors: black, blue, brown, clear, green, orange, purple, red and yellow. Crews use the color for department, shift, or contractor assignment while keeping the same keying scheme underneath. The part numbers follow the color, for example A1206BLU for blue and A1206RED for red.
10) How many keys come with each American Lock A1206, and can I order extras or none at all?
Standard is 2 keys per lock. You can also order the A1206 with 1 key, 3 keys, or 4 keys per lock, or with 0 keys per lock when your locksmith is cutting keys on your own system. Pick the key count at the time of order, since it is built into the part as supplied.
11) Can I get the A1206 padlock with a chain so it stays attached to the gate or locker?
There is a chain option. The A1206 can be ordered with a #40 sash chain, 9 inches long, zinc plated, or with no chain at all. The chain keeps the padlock tethered to the hasp or gate so it does not get set down and lost, which is common on yard gates and locker banks.
12) What is the difference between the American Lock A1205, A1206 and A1207?
All three are the same 1-3/4 inch wide solid aluminum rekeyable padlock with a boron alloy steel shackle; the number identifies the shackle height. The A1206 carries a 2 inch tall shackle, which suits a standard hasp. Step to the A1205 or A1207 when you need a shorter or longer shackle for the same body and keying options.
13) What else could I use instead of an American Lock A1206 if I need it on a restricted key system?
The A1206 rekeys on American Lock's own 5-pin APTC12 cylinder. If your facility runs a restricted or high-security key system instead, the padlock has to match that system. The Sargent 60-858-2 is a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle, so it takes the same interchangeable core as the rest of a Sargent system. The Medeco 5260 is a brass body padlock with M3 key technology and a 7/16 inch shackle diameter, and the Schlage KS23D/KS23F is a brass padlock with a 5/16 inch shackle, the same shackle diameter as the A1206.
14) Is the ABUS 72/30 a substitute for the American Lock A1206?
Both are anodized aluminum bodies, but the sizes are not the same. The A1206 body is 1-3/4 inch wide with a 5/16 inch shackle, while the ABUS 72/30 safety padlock is 1-1/4 inch wide with a 3/16 inch shackle. If your hasp was drilled for the A1206's 5/16 inch shackle, the 72/30 will fit loosely rather than match.
15) For a wet or coastal exterior gate, what padlock would you use instead of the American Lock A1206?
The A1206 is a solid aluminum body lock suited to harsh outdoor conditions. Where you want a different corrosion approach, the Medeco 521 G8R is a weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body, 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 - considerably lighter duty than the A1206's 5/16 inch shackle.
16) Which padlocks are key retaining if the American Lock A1206 is not what I need for lockout use?
For applications where the key must stay captive until the lock is closed, the Sargent 758 is a key retaining standard padlock in a US4 satin brass finish. The non-key-retaining alternatives include the Sargent 858 with a stainless steel shackle and the Sargent 82-856 with a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case. The A1206 differs from all three in body material, being 1-3/4 inch wide solid aluminum.
17) What is a heavier brass-body alternative to the American Lock A1206?
The Medeco 5260 in the 52 Series has a brass body with a 7/16 inch shackle diameter, M3 key technology and a satin chrome finish - a thicker shackle than the A1206's 5/16 inch. The A1206 keeps a 1-3/4 inch solid aluminum body and a rekeyable 5-pin APTC12 cylinder instead.
18) How are the American Lock A1206 padlocks packaged for a bulk order?
They pack 6 to a shelf pack and 24 to a master carton. Useful if you are standardizing a facility and want to order in even increments rather than counting singles.
