American Lock AME-A1206MK BLK 2KEY – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the MK in American Lock A1206MK mean, and how is it different from A1206KA or A1206KD?
MK means master keyed: each A1206MK padlock is keyed different from the next, but all of them open under a common master key. If you want every lock in the group to share the same change key, that is the A1206KA. If you want locks keyed different with no master at all, that is the A1206 (A1206KD). There is also an A1206KAMK, keyed alike under a master, and A1206UN uncombinated and A1206KZ zero-bitted for locksmiths who pin their own.
2) Will the American Lock A1206 padlock shackle fit through a standard hasp or a chain link?
The shackle is 5/16 inch diameter with a 3/4 inch clearance between the legs and 2 inches of vertical clearance. So the hole in your hasp, hardware staple, or lockout device has to accept 5/16 inch, and whatever you are locking through has to sit inside a 3/4 inch wide opening. Chain links narrower than 3/4 inch inside will not pass the shackle.
3) Is the American Lock A1206 padlock rekeyable, and can a locksmith pin it into our existing system?
It uses a 5-pin APTC12 rekeyable cylinder, so a locksmith can repin it rather than replace the lock. For a system build from scratch, order the A1206KZ zero-bitted or A1206UN uncombinated version and pin it to your own keyway and master.
4) What is the difference between the American Lock A1205, A1206, and A1207 padlocks?
All three share the same 1-3/4 inch (44mm) solid aluminum body and boron alloy shackle. They differ in shackle height: the A1206 carries a 2 inch shackle. The A1205 is the shorter shackle and the A1207 the taller one in the same family, so pick by how much material you need to pass the shackle around. Each is offered in the same keying choices (KD, KA, MK, KAMK, UN, KZ).
5) Is the A1206MK a safety lockout padlock for LOTO?
No. The A1206MK is a master keyed security padlock, which is the opposite of what lockout/tagout requires, since LOTO locks must be keyed so only the worker who applied it can remove it. For lockout use, look at a dedicated safety padlock such as the ABUS 72/30 anodized aluminum safety padlock or the ABUS 74/40 insulated safety padlock.
6) What padlock has the same 5/16 inch shackle diameter as the American Lock A1206MK but with an interchangeable core?
The Sargent 60-858-2 is a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle, which lets a facility pull and swap cores rather than rekeying the cylinder. The American Lock A1206MK uses a rekeyable 5-pin APTC12 cylinder in a 1-3/4 inch wide solid aluminum body with a 5/16 inch diameter, 2 inch tall boron alloy shackle. Both give a 2 inch shackle length, so the two will pass through the same hasps; the difference is whether your key control program is built on core swaps or on repinning.
7) For outdoor gates and wet locations, is there a padlock with a sealed or weather-tight body instead of the American Lock A1206MK?
The Medeco 521 G8R is a weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body, supplied less pop-out cylinder, and the ABUS 76/40 is a plastic-covered aluminum core padlock with a 1/4 inch shackle diameter and 1-37/64 inch width. The American Lock A1206MK handles exposure with a solid aluminum body and a black anodized finish rather than a sealed cylinder cover, so for coastal or washdown areas the stainless Medeco body or the ABUS plastic jacket are the ones to price against it. Note the G8R ships less cylinder, so a cylinder has to be specified separately.
8) Can I get American Lock A1206MK padlocks in colors to code different departments or trades?
Yes. The lockbody comes in nine colors: black, blue, brown, clear, green, orange, purple, red, and yellow. Facilities and MRO buyers use that to color code by department, tenant, shift, or contractor while the master key still opens all of them.
9) How many keys come with each American Lock A1206MK padlock?
Standard is 2 keys per lock. You can also order 0, 1, 3, or 4 keys per lock. Zero keys is the usual choice when a facility already holds the key blanks and cuts its own, or when the locks are going into an existing master key system.
10) Can I order the American Lock A1206 padlock with a chain attached so the lock does not get lost?
Yes, there is a chain option: a #40 sash chain, 9 inches (229mm) long, zinc plated. Or order it with no chain. The chain version is what people use on gate posts, tool cribs, and lockers where a loose open padlock tends to walk off.
11) Will an aluminum body padlock hold up outdoors on a gate or yard equipment?
The A1206 uses a solid aluminum body with a black anodized finish for weather exposure, and the shackle is hardened boron alloy steel for cut resistance rather than aluminum. American Lock lists harsh outdoor conditions, manufacturing environments, tool cribs, and self-storage as its intended uses. For a marine or constantly wet setting, a stainless body like the Medeco 521 G8R weather-tight padlock is the different approach worth looking at.
12) If I need a padlock that works with our removable core system instead, what should I look at?
The A1206MK is a fixed, rekeyable 5-pin cylinder padlock, not an interchangeable core lock. If your facility standardizes on removable cores so you can rotate keying without pulling locks, look at the Sargent 60-858-2 removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle, which matches the A1206 on shackle height.
13) What is a lighter-duty alternative to the American Lock A1206MK for lockout tagout tags and lockers?
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 is an insulated safety padlock with a 6-pin cylinder, 1/4 inch shackle diameter and 1-1/2 inch body width. Both are narrower in the body and thinner in the shackle than the American Lock A1206MK, which runs a 1-3/4 inch wide aluminum body and a 5/16 inch boron alloy shackle. For personal lockout devices where the lock is a tag rather than a barrier, the thinner ABUS shackles pass through small lockout hasp eyes the 5/16 inch American shackle will not.
14) What padlock should I use instead of the American Lock A1206MK if I need audit trail and electronic access control?
The Medeco 54515G XT is an electronic indoor/outdoor padlock, non-key retaining, with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter and cylinder included. It matches the American Lock A1206MK on shackle diameter, so it fits the same hasps, but it is an electronic credential platform rather than a mechanical one. The A1206MK is a mechanical master keyed padlock on a rekeyable 5-pin APTC12 cylinder, so key control is handled by the keying system, not by programmable permissions.
15) What is the difference between key retaining and non-key retaining padlocks when comparing the American Lock A1206MK to Sargent models?
Sargent offers both arrangements in the same body family: the 758 is a key retaining standard padlock in US4 satin brass, and the 858 is a non-key retaining padlock with a stainless steel shackle in the same US4 satin brass finish. Key retaining means the key will not come out while the shackle is open, which forces the user to close the lock to get the key back. The American Lock A1206MK is a master keyed rekeyable padlock in a 1-3/4 inch solid aluminum body, ordered with 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4 keys per lock. If retention is a written requirement in your lockout or gate procedure, the Sargent 758 is the one that states it.
16) Which padlock has a heavier shackle than the American Lock A1206MK?
The Medeco 5260 is a brass body padlock in the 52 Series with a 7/16 inch shackle diameter and M3 key technology in satin chrome. That is a thicker shackle than the American Lock A1206MK, which uses a 5/16 inch diameter, 2 inch tall boron alloy steel shackle with a 3/4 inch shackle width. A 7/16 inch shackle needs a hasp eye sized for it, so confirm the opening before you swap up; where the hasp is already drilled for 5/16 inch, the A1206MK drops straight in.
17) Is the ABUS T84MB/30 Nautic an equivalent to the American Lock A1206MK for marine use?
It is not a like-for-like swap. The ABUS T84MB/30 Nautic is a black sleeve padlock with a 13/64 inch shackle diameter and a 1-17/64 inch body width, sold in a three pack, which puts it well under the American Lock A1206MK's 1-3/4 inch body width and 5/16 inch boron alloy shackle. The Nautic suits lockers, small hatches and gear boxes where corrosion matters more than cut resistance; for a gate hasp or a tool crib built around a master keyed system, the A1206MK's larger body and master keyed rekeyable cylinder are the closer fit.
18) What padlock works with a high security restricted key system rather than the American Lock A1206MK's standard cylinder?
The Sargent 82-856 is a non-key retaining padlock on the KESO platform with a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case and a stainless steel shackle, and the Medeco 5260 runs M3 key technology in a 52 Series brass body. Both are built around restricted, patented key platforms. The American Lock A1206MK uses a rekeyable 5-pin APTC12 cylinder that is pick resistant with tens of thousands of key changes, and is supplied keyed different under a master key. Choose on whether your program requires key blank control at the factory level or whether field rekeying is enough.
19) How do American Lock A1206 padlocks ship, and what is the case quantity for a bulk facility order?
Shelf pack is 6 locks and the master carton holds 24. If you are standardizing a building or a storage facility on one master keyed group, order in those multiples to keep the keying run clean.
20) Is the American Lock A1206 padlock meant for commercial use or homeowner use?
It is catalogued as a commercial solid body padlock, and the boron shackle, rekeyable cylinder, and master keying options are aimed at property managers, facilities, and storage operators running dozens of locks under one key system rather than a single homeowner buying one lock.
