American Lock AME-A1206KZ BLK 2KEY – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does zero-bitted mean on the American Lock A1206KZ padlock, and do I need a locksmith to use it?
Zero-bitted means the A1206KZ ships with the cylinder pinned to all-zero cuts, so it does nothing useful until someone keys it. You need a locksmith or an in-house shop with pinning kits and key blanks to bit the 5-pin APTC12 rekeyable cylinder to your own keyway and combination. The payoff is control: you put these on your own master key system rather than living with factory keying. If you don't key locks yourself, order a keyed version instead, either the A1206KA keyed alike, the A1206 keyed different, or A1206KAMK for keyed alike under a master key.
2) Will the American Lock A1206 padlock fit through my hasp or a chain link gate latch?
Shackle clearance is what decides it. The A1206KZ has a 5/16 inch diameter shackle with a 3/4 inch inside width and a 2 inch shackle length, so the opening in your hasp needs to pass a 5/16 inch bar, and anything you are locking through has to fit inside a 3/4 inch wide by 2 inch tall shackle window. That covers most commercial hasps and locker latches. It's tight for gate chain or a thick truck door hasp, where you want a taller shackle.
3) What's the alternative to a rekeyable padlock if my facility runs interchangeable cores?
A rekeyable padlock like the A1206KZ is pinned like any standard cylinder, so changing keying means pulling it to a bench. If your site is standardized on small format interchangeable core, a removable core padlock is the better fit because you swap the core in seconds with a control key. The Sargent 60-858-2 removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle is the removable core option in the same shackle length. The Medeco 521 G8R weather tight padlock is ordered less pop-out cylinder for shops supplying their own Medeco cylinder.
4) Is the American Lock A1206KZ a lockout tagout safety padlock?
No. The A1206KZ is a commercial security padlock with a hardened boron steel shackle, which is the opposite of what lockout tagout calls for. LOTO locks use a non-conductive body and a light shackle so they can't be used as a security lock and won't conduct. For that duty look at the ABUS 74/40 insulated safety padlock with a 6-pin cylinder, 1/4 inch shackle diameter and 1-1/2 inch body, or the ABUS 76/40 plastic-covered aluminum core padlock. The ABUS 72/30 anodized aluminum safety padlock is the smaller 1-1/4 inch body option with a 3/16 inch shackle.
5) What is the closest equivalent to the American Lock A1206KZ if I need a padlock with the same 5/16 inch shackle diameter?
The A1206KZ uses a 5/16 inch diameter shackle on a 1-3/4 inch wide solid aluminum body. Two other padlocks match that shackle diameter: the Schlage KS23D/KS23F, which pairs a 5/16 inch shackle with a brass body, and the Medeco 54515G XT electronic indoor/outdoor padlock, which is non-key-retaining and also uses a 5/16 inch shackle. The A1206KZ differs from both in body material, since it is aluminum rather than brass or the electronic XT platform, and in keying, since it ships zero-bitted for the locksmith to pin to an existing system.
6) I need a padlock that keeps the key captive while the lock is open so crews cannot walk off with it. Does the A1206KZ do that, and what should I use instead?
The A1206KZ is a rekeyable solid aluminum padlock supplied zero-bitted, and its published data does not describe key retention. If key retention is the deciding requirement, the Sargent 758 is a key-retaining standard padlock in a US4 satin brass finish. On the other side, the Sargent 858 and the Sargent 82-856 are both non-key-retaining with stainless steel shackles, so they behave the opposite way and are not the answer to that requirement.
7) Our facility is standardized on a small-format interchangeable core system. Can the A1206KZ take our cores, or is there a padlock built for that?
The A1206KZ carries a rekeyable 5-pin APTC12 cylinder and is shipped zero-bitted, so it is pinned by a locksmith to the American Lock keyway rather than accepting a core swap. Where a facility standardizes on removable cores, the Sargent 60-858-2 is a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle, which matches the 2 inch shackle length of the A1206KZ. The Sargent 82-856 runs the KESO platform in a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case if the site is keyed to KESO instead.
8) What's the difference between the American Lock A1205, A1206 and A1207 aluminum padlocks?
Same 1-3/4 inch wide solid aluminum body and the same rekeyable cylinder across all three; the difference is shackle height. The A1206 carries a 2 inch shackle. The A1205 and A1207 are the shorter and taller shackle versions of the identical lock body. Pick by how much material you have to get the shackle around: a padlocked hasp on a locker door takes the short shackle, a gate hasp or a stacked pair of hasp eyes takes the tall one.
9) Can I color code padlocks by department or trade with the American Lock A1206?
That's exactly what the anodized body colors are for. The A1206KZ comes in nine lockbody colors: black, blue, brown, clear, green, orange, purple, red and yellow. Facilities and safety groups use them to separate departments, buildings, or crews at a glance while every lock is still keyed on the same system. Color is anodized into the aluminum body, not painted on, so it doesn't rub off in a tool crib or on an outdoor gate.
10) How many keys come with the American Lock A1206KZ, and can I order it with no keys at all?
Keys are an option you choose, not a fixed count. The A1206KZ is offered at 0, 1, 3 or 4 keys per lock, with 2 keys per lock as the standard. Zero keys is the normal choice when a shop is bitting these into an existing system and already has blanks and cut keys on hand, so you aren't paying for keys you'll throw away.
11) Is there a padlock and chain option for securing a gate or fence without the lock walking off?
Yes. The A1206KZ 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 tethers the padlock to the hasp or gate frame so it isn't dropped in the mud or pocketed while the opening is unlocked. Specify the chain when you order; it's a build option on the lock, not an accessory you add later.
12) Will an aluminum padlock hold up outdoors on a yard gate or a rooftop enclosure?
That's the case the A1206 is built for. The body is solid aluminum with a black anodized finish for weather and abuse, and the shackle is hardened boron alloy steel, which is where cut resistance comes from. Dual ball bearing locking resists pulling and prying. American Lock names harsh outdoor conditions, manufacturing environments, tool cribs, and self storage units and lockers as the intended applications. Note the shackle is steel, so in a salt or heavy chemical environment a stainless shackle lock is the better call.
13) How does the American Lock A1206 compare to a brass body padlock like the Sargent 758 or Medeco 5260?
Body material and shackle are the split. The A1206 is solid aluminum, 1-3/4 inch wide, with a 5/16 inch boron steel shackle, anodized and available in nine colors. The Sargent 758 is a key retaining padlock in US4 satin brass, and the Sargent 858 is the non-key retaining version of the same lock with a stainless steel shackle. The Medeco 5260 is a brass body padlock with a heavier 7/16 inch shackle and M3 key technology in satin chrome. Choose brass and stainless where corrosion is the enemy, aluminum where you want light weight and color coding across a fleet of openings.
14) Is an ABUS 72/30 anodized aluminum padlock the same thing as an American Lock A1206KZ?
They are not interchangeable even though both use anodized aluminum. The ABUS 72/30 is a safety padlock with a 1-1/4 inch body and a 3/16 inch shackle diameter, sized and intended for lockout tagout use where a technician's personal lock must be cut-away thin and light. The A1206KZ is a 1-3/4 inch wide security padlock with a 5/16 inch hardened boron alloy steel shackle and a dual ball bearing locking mechanism for cut, pull, and pry resistance. If the requirement is asset security on a gate, tool crib, or storage unit, the difference in shackle diameter is the deciding one.
15) Which padlock holds up better than the A1206KZ on coastal or wash-down exposure?
The A1206KZ uses a solid aluminum body with an anodized finish and is rated for harsh outdoor conditions. Where salt spray or constant wetting is the driver, the Medeco 521 G8R is a weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body, supplied less pop-out cylinder so the cylinder is ordered to the site keyway. The ABUS T84MB/30 Nautic uses a black sleeve over a 1-17/64 inch body with a 13/64 inch shackle for marine service, though its shackle is much thinner than the 5/16 inch shackle on the A1206KZ.
16) We color code padlocks by department. Does the A1206KZ support that, or do we need a different brand?
The A1206KZ body is offered in black, blue, brown, clear, green, orange, purple, red and yellow, so a fleet can be color coded by department, building or crew on one part number family, and it ships zero-bitted so every color can be pinned into the same master key system. Among the alternatives, the ABUS 72/30 is an anodized aluminum safety padlock and the ABUS T84MB/30 Nautic carries a black sleeve, but neither is described with the same color range. For color coding across a facility the A1206KZ handles it within a single series.
17) Our spec calls for a brass body padlock. What replaces the A1206KZ on that spec?
The A1206KZ body is aluminum, so it will not meet a brass body requirement. Brass body options include the Schlage KS23D/KS23F with a 5/16 inch diameter shackle, which is the same shackle diameter the A1206KZ carries, the Medeco 5260 in the 52 series with a 7/16 inch shackle diameter and M3 key technology in satin chrome, and the Sargent 82-856 with a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case and stainless steel shackle. Note that the Medeco 5260 shackle is heavier than 5/16 inch, so confirm the hasp eye before substituting it.
18) The padlocks on our lockers keep getting lost. Is there an option that stays with the door?
The A1206KZ can be ordered with a #40 sash chain, 9 inches long, zinc plated, attached, which tethers the lock to the locker or gate so it is not set down and lost, and it is also available with no chain. The comparable padlocks that address the same problem do it through key control rather than a chain: the Sargent 758 is key retaining, so the key cannot be removed while the lock is open. Those solve two different halves of the problem, the lock body and the key.
19) Do these padlocks come in a case quantity for a multi-building rollout?
They do. The A1206KZ packs 6 to a shelf pack and 24 to a master carton. For a property manager or MRO buyer standardizing openings across a portfolio, that's the practical ordering unit: pull cartons per building, bit them all to one system, and color code by site.
20) Is the American Lock A1206 rated for commercial use or is it a residential padlock?
Commercial. The A1206KZ is a solid body padlock built for commercial door hardware duty, with the applications American Lock names being self storage units and lockers, tool cribs, manufacturing environments and harsh outdoor conditions. It's not a shed lock for a homeowner, and the zero-bitted cylinder assumes a keying shop stands behind it.
21) Is a plastic-covered padlock a better pick than the A1206KZ for protecting painted equipment from scratches?
For gates and doors where the lock swings against a painted or coated surface, 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, and the ABUS 74/40 is an insulated safety padlock with a 6-pin cylinder, a 1/4 inch shackle and a 1-1/2 inch body. The A1206KZ takes a different approach, using a bare anodized aluminum body 1-3/4 inch wide with a 5/16 inch boron alloy steel shackle, which gives a heavier shackle but no soft covering.
