American Lock AME-A1206KAMK BLK 2KEY – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the KAMK suffix mean on the American Lock A1206KAMK padlock?
KAMK means keyed alike and master keyed. Every A1206KAMK padlock on the same order opens with the same change key, and all of them also operate under a master key. That is the setup for a self-storage site or a tool crib where the crew carries one key for a group of locks and the manager carries a master over the whole system. If you want each lock on its own key under a master instead, that is the A1206MK. Plain keyed alike with no master is the A1206KA, and keyed different is the A1206 (A1206KD).
2) What is the difference between the American Lock A1205, A1206 and A1207 aluminum padlocks?
Same 1-3/4 inch solid aluminum body and same boron alloy shackle diameter across all three; the number sets the shackle height. The A1206 carries a 2 inch tall shackle, so if the hasp or chain you are locking through needs more clearance you step up to the A1207, and for a tighter shackle you drop to the A1205. Each of the three is sold in the full range of keying suffixes.
3) Will the American Lock A1206 padlock fit a standard hasp?
The shackle is 5/16 inch diameter with a 3/4 inch clearance between the legs and stands 2 inch tall, so it needs a hasp staple or chain link that passes a 5/16 inch bar and an opening no wider than 3/4 inch between the shackle legs. That covers most commercial hasps and gate chains. If your hasp loop is wider than 3/4 inch, the shackle will not straddle it and you need a different body style.
4) Do I need to give a key code when ordering a keyed alike master keyed padlock?
Yes, keying information is required at order. Because the A1206KAMK is cut keyed alike and master keyed, it has to be bitted to a specific code, so the order asks for the key code you want the locks cut to. If you are adding to an existing American Lock system, supply the code already in use and the new locks will run on the keys your crews carry.
5) For lockout tagout on an electrical panel, should I use the American Lock A1206KAMK or a dedicated safety padlock?
The A1206KAMK is a keyed alike master keyed padlock, meaning multiple locks open on one key and a master opens the group - the opposite of what lockout tagout needs, where each worker holds the only key to their own lock. For that application the ABUS 72/30 anodized aluminum safety padlock, with a 1-1/4 inch body and 3/16 inch shackle, or the ABUS 74/40 insulated safety padlock with a 6-pin cylinder, 1/4 inch shackle and 1-1/2 inch body, are the purpose-built choices. Reserve the A1206KAMK for tool cribs, lockers and outdoor gates where keyed alike access across a group of locks is the goal.
6) What is an equivalent padlock to the American Lock A1206KAMK if I need a 5/16 inch shackle diameter from another brand?
The American Lock A1206KAMK uses a 5/16 inch diameter shackle on an aluminum body 1-3/4 inches wide. The closest match on shackle diameter from another manufacturer is the Schlage KS23D/KS23F, which is also built with a 5/16 inch diameter shackle but on a brass body rather than aluminum. The Medeco 54515G XT padlock also carries a 5/16 inch shackle diameter, in an electronic indoor/outdoor format rather than a mechanical keyed cylinder. If the hasp opening is sized for 5/16 inch stock, all three will pass through it; the difference is body material and how the lock is keyed.
7) I need a padlock with a 2 inch shackle for a gate chain - what are my options besides the American Lock A1206KAMK?
The American Lock A1206KAMK is specified with a 2 inch shackle length on a 5/16 inch diameter boron alloy shackle. The Sargent 60-858-2 is the other 2 inch shackle option, built with a stainless steel shackle and a removable core so the cylinder can be pulled and swapped by the facility rather than rekeyed pin by pin. Choose on cylinder strategy: the A1206KAMK is a rekeyable 5-pin APTC12 cylinder supplied keyed alike under a master key, while the Sargent 60-858-2 is designed around an interchangeable core program.
8) Can I color code American Lock A1206KAMK padlocks by department or building?
Yes. The lockbody is offered in nine colors: black, blue, brown, clear, green, orange, purple, red and yellow. Property managers and plant maintenance groups use that to separate buildings, trades or shifts while all the locks still run under one master key system. The color is an anodized finish on the aluminum body, not a sleeve or a tag that falls off.
9) How many keys come with each American Lock A1206KAMK padlock, and can I order fewer?
Standard is 2 keys per lock. You can also order 0, 1, 3 or 4 keys per lock. On a large keyed alike group most buyers cut the key count down, since every lock in the group takes the same key and paying for two keys on each of fifty padlocks leaves you with ninety-eight spares.
10) Can I get an American Lock A1206 padlock with a chain attached so it does not get lost?
Yes. A #40 sash chain, 9 inches long and zinc plated, is available as a factory-attached option, or you can take the lock with no chain. The chain is the usual choice on gates, lockers and electrical disconnects where a loose padlock walks off or gets set down and lost during a shift.
11) Is the American Lock A1206 padlock rekeyable in the field?
It uses a 5-pin APTC12 rekeyable cylinder, so a locksmith can rebit it rather than replacing the lock when a key is lost or an employee leaves. The cylinder is pick resistant and carries tens of thousands of key changes, which is what makes it workable as the base for a large master keyed system across a facility.
12) Will an aluminum body padlock hold up outdoors on a gate or yard?
The A1206 body is solid aluminum with a black anodized finish, which does not rust the way a plated steel body does, and American Lock lists harsh outdoor conditions and manufacturing environments among its uses. The shackle is hardened boron alloy steel for cut resistance, and the dual ball bearing locking mechanism resists pulling and prying. For a coastal or washdown application where you want no ferrous body at all, a stainless option like the Medeco 521 G8R weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body is the other direction to look.
13) I need a padlock with a 5/16 inch shackle but a brass body instead of aluminum. What is comparable?
The Schlage KS23D/KS23F is a brass bodied padlock with the same 5/16 inch shackle diameter, so it takes the same hasp staples and chain as the American Lock A1206. Brass adds weight and a different corrosion behavior than the A1206's anodized aluminum body. If you want a heavier shackle, the Medeco 5260 brass body padlock runs a 7/16 inch shackle, which will not pass a hasp sized for 5/16.
14) What is the difference between the American Lock A1206KAMK and a Sargent 758 or 858 padlock?
The A1206KAMK is an aluminum body padlock 1-3/4 inches wide with a 5/16 inch boron shackle and a rekeyable 5-pin cylinder. The Sargent 758 is a key retaining padlock in a US4 satin brass finish, meaning the key cannot be withdrawn while the lock is open - useful where you do not want a lock left hanging unsecured. The Sargent 858 is the non-key-retaining version with a stainless steel shackle in the same US4 satin brass finish. If key retention is a written requirement on your job, the A1206KAMK is not the part to quote.
15) The American Lock A1206KAMK is aluminum - what should I use instead in a coastal or wash-down environment?
The A1206KAMK body is solid aluminum with a black anodized finish, one of nine body colors. Where salt spray or constant wetting is the concern, the Medeco 521 G8R is a weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body, supplied less the pop-out cylinder. The ABUS T84MB/30 Nautic uses a black sleeve over the body with a 13/64 inch shackle and 1-17/64 inch body width for marine use. Both trade the A1206KAMK's 5/16 inch boron shackle and color-coded body for corrosion-focused construction.
16) I need a heavier shackle than the American Lock A1206KAMK offers - what is available?
The A1206KAMK shackle is 5/16 inch in diameter with a 3/4 inch clearance width. For a thicker shackle, the Medeco 5260 in the 52 Series uses a 7/16 inch diameter shackle on a brass body with M3 key technology in a satin chrome finish. Confirm the hasp or chain link will accept 7/16 inch stock before substituting, since a hasp cut for the 5/16 inch A1206KAMK shackle will not pass the larger diameter.
17) Is the ABUS 76/40 a substitute for the American Lock A1206KAMK on a self-storage unit?
They are not interchangeable. The ABUS 76/40 is a plastic-covered aluminum core padlock with a 1/4 inch shackle diameter and a body about 1-37/64 inches wide. The American Lock A1206KAMK is a solid aluminum body 1-3/4 inches wide with a 5/16 inch boron alloy shackle and is supplied keyed alike under a master key, which is what lets a storage operator carry one master across a run of units. The 76/40's plastic cover is aimed at protecting the surface it locks against rather than at master keyed fleet access.
18) My facility runs a KESO or high security key system - can I add the American Lock A1206KAMK to it?
The A1206KAMK uses a rekeyable 5-pin APTC12 cylinder, so it keys within American Lock's own system rather than into a proprietary high security platform. To stay on one high security key system, the Sargent 82-856 is a non-key-retaining padlock in the KESO series with a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case and stainless steel shackle, and the Medeco 5260 uses M3 key technology on a brass body. Match the padlock to the system your cylinders are already cut to.
19) Is there an electronic alternative to the American Lock A1206KAMK for auditing who opened a gate?
Yes. The Medeco 54515G XT is an electronic indoor/outdoor padlock, non-key-retaining, with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter and cylinder included - the same shackle diameter as the American Lock A1206KAMK, so it fits the same hasp. The A1206KAMK is a purely mechanical keyed alike master keyed lock and gives no record of openings, so where access logging is the requirement, the electronic unit is the one to specify.
20) How many American Lock A1206KAMK padlocks come in a case?
Shelf pack is 6 and the master carton holds 24. Useful if you are stocking a maintenance shop or issuing locks by building rather than buying onesies.
