American Lock AME-A1265KD BLK 2KEY – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the American Lock A1265 padlock fit a hasp with a narrow opening?
The A1265 shackle clears 3/4 inch between the legs and stands 1-1/8 inch tall, on a 5/16 inch diameter boron alloy shackle. The body itself is 1-3/4 inch wide. That short a shackle is meant for tight hasps and lockers, so measure the staple thickness and the gap on your hasp before you commit. If you need more vertical clearance for a thick hasp or a chain link, step up in the same family to the A1266 or A1267, which are the longer shackle versions of the same 1-3/4 inch aluminum body.
2) What does keyed different mean on the A1265, and what do I order if I want one key for all my locks?
Keyed different means every A1265 comes on its own unique key change, so no lock opens another. That is what you want for tenant storage units or individual tool cribs. For one key across a group of locks, order the A1265KA (keyed alike). If you run a master key system, A1265MK is keyed different under a master and A1265KAMK is keyed alike under a master. If your locksmith bits locks in house, A1265KZ is zero-bitted and A1265UN is uncombinated.
3) Can the American Lock A1265 be rekeyed, or do I have to replace the lock when a key walks off?
It rekeys. The A1265 uses a 6-pin APTC14 rekeyable cylinder with tens of thousands of key changes, so a locksmith can re-pin it in place rather than scrapping the padlock. That is the difference between this and a sealed non-rekeyable lock, and it is the reason facilities standardize on it.
4) How does the American Lock A1265 compare to a Schlage or Sargent padlock for a commercial key system?
The A1265 is a solid aluminum body padlock with a 5/16 inch boron shackle and a rekeyable 6-pin APTC14 cylinder, and it is specified as commercial duty. If your facility keys to Schlage, the Schlage KS23D/KS23F is a brass body padlock with the same 5/16 inch shackle diameter. On a Sargent system, the 758 is key retaining and the 858 is non-key retaining with a stainless shackle, and the 60-858-2 takes a removable core with a 2 inch shackle for facilities that swap cores rather than re-pin. Pick on the keyway your building already runs.
5) I need a padlock for a lockout tagout program, not general security. Is the A1265 the right choice?
The A1265 is a rekeyable solid aluminum padlock with a hardened boron alloy shackle built for self-storage, tool cribs, and harsh outdoor conditions. For lockout tagout work, look instead at 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. Those are purpose-built safety padlocks with the lighter shackles typical of energy-isolation devices. The A1265 does offer nine body colors, so it can still support color coding by crew or department.
6) What padlock has the same 5/16 inch shackle diameter as the American Lock A1265?
The A1265 uses a 5/16 inch diameter shackle on a 1-3/4 inch wide solid aluminum body. Two other padlocks are built around the same 5/16 inch shackle diameter: the Schlage KS23D/KS23F, which uses a brass body, and the Medeco 54515G XT, an electronic indoor/outdoor padlock that is non-key retaining and ships with a cylinder. If the hasp opening was drilled for a 5/16 inch shackle, all three pass through it; the difference is body material and whether you want a mechanical rekeyable cylinder or an electronic credential.
7) Our facility is standardized on an interchangeable core system. Can we use the A1265?
The A1265 is a rekeyable padlock built on a 6-pin APTC14 cylinder, so it is rekeyed by the pinning of that cylinder rather than by swapping a core. If you need the padlock to accept the same removable core as the rest of the facility, the Sargent 60-858-2 is a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle. Sargent also offers the 758 in a key retaining configuration and the 858 as non-key retaining, both with stainless steel shackles in a US4 satin brass finish.
8) The A1265 shackle clearance is too short for my hasp. What else is available?
The A1265 gives 1-1/8 inch of shackle clearance with a 3/4 inch shackle width, which suits a tight hasp or a locker but will not reach over a thick staple or a chain link. The Sargent 60-858-2 and the Sargent 82-856 both carry a 2 inch stainless steel shackle, with the 82-856 built on a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case in a non-key retaining configuration. Measure the total stack the shackle has to clear before choosing.
9) Is the Medeco 5260 a drop-in replacement for the American Lock A1265?
No. The Medeco 5260 is a 52 Series brass body padlock with a 7/16 inch shackle diameter and M3 key technology in a satin chrome finish. The A1265 runs a 5/16 inch shackle in a 1-3/4 inch solid aluminum body. The heavier 7/16 inch shackle will not pass through a hasp drilled for the A1265, and the M3 keyway is a separate key system from the rekeyable APTC14 cylinder the A1265 uses, so existing A1265 keys will not carry over.
10) Can I color code padlocks by department or building with the A1265?
Yes, the 1-3/4 inch aluminum body comes in nine anodized colors: black, blue, brown, clear, green, orange, purple, red and yellow. Property managers and plant maintenance groups use that to split locks by trade, building, or crew at a glance while keeping the same key system underneath.
11) How many keys come with each American Lock A1265 padlock?
Standard is 2 keys per lock. You can also order it with 0, 1, 3 or 4 keys per lock, which matters when you are buying a large keyed alike group and do not want a drawer full of duplicates, or conversely need a key for every tech on a crew.
12) Will an aluminum padlock hold up outdoors or in a washdown area?
The A1265 uses a solid aluminum body with a black anodized finish, which is why it gets specified for harsh outdoor conditions, manufacturing environments, self storage units and tool cribs. The shackle is hardened boron alloy steel for cut resistance, and a dual ball bearing locking mechanism resists pulling and prying. If your application is marine or fully corrosive and you want a stainless body instead, the Medeco 521 G8R is a weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body.
13) Can I get the A1265 with a chain so the lock stays attached to the gate?
Yes. The A1265 can be ordered with a #40 sash chain, 9 inches long, zinc plated, or with no chain at all. The chain option keeps the padlock captive on a gate, locker or cabinet so it does not get set down and lost during the shift.
14) Which padlock holds up best in a coastal or wash-down environment compared to the A1265?
The A1265 uses a solid aluminum body with an anodized finish, which is the reason it is specified for harsh outdoor conditions. If the environment is marine or constantly wet, a few alternatives are built specifically for it: the Medeco 521 G8R is a weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body supplied less the pop-out cylinder, and the ABUS T84MB/30 Nautic is a black sleeve padlock with a 13/64 inch shackle diameter and 1 17/64 inch body sold in a three-pack. The ABUS 76/40 wraps an aluminum core in plastic, with a 1/4 inch shackle and 1 37/64 inch width.
15) Do I need a keyed padlock at all, or can I get a mechanical alternative for an access point staff share?
The A1265 is a keyed lock, and its key options run from zero keys per lock up to four keys per lock, with two keys per lock standard. Where a shared access point would otherwise mean handing out dozens of keys, the Medeco 54515G XT is an electronic indoor/outdoor padlock rated for indoor and outdoor use and supplied with a cylinder, which moves the access decision into a credential rather than a cut key. If you prefer to stay mechanical, the A1265 is also offered keyed alike and master keyed so one key can open a group.
16) What is the difference between a key retaining and a non-key retaining padlock, and which is the A1265?
Key retaining means the key cannot be removed while the shackle is open, which forces the user to close the lock to get the key back. Among the comparable padlocks, the Sargent 758 is key retaining, while the Sargent 858 and the Sargent 82-856 are non-key retaining, as is the Medeco 54515G XT. Decide by application: key retaining suits gates and cabinets where an open lock left hanging is a problem, non-key retaining suits self-storage, lockers, and tool cribs, which are the applications the A1265 is built around.
17) I want a padlock that stays attached to the door so it does not get lost. Does the A1265 cover that?
Yes. The A1265 is offered with a #40 sash chain, 9 inches long and zinc plated, as well as with no chain, so the lock can be tethered to a locker door or gate frame rather than set down. None of the brass or stainless body alternatives such as the Sargent 758, the Sargent 858, or the Schlage KS23D/KS23F are configured with a chain, so if the tether matters the A1265 is the one to specify.
18) Between the American Lock A1265 and the Schlage KS23D/KS23F, which suits a multi-family property standardizing across gates and utility rooms?
Both use a 5/16 inch shackle, so they fit the same hasp preparation. The Schlage KS23D/KS23F is a brass body padlock in the 20 Series. The A1265 uses a 1-3/4 inch wide solid aluminum body with a boron alloy shackle and comes in nine lockbody colors, which lets you color-code gates against utility rooms across a portfolio, and it is available keyed alike and master keyed so a single maintenance key can open a group. It also ships six to a shelf pack and 24 to a master carton for fleet quantities.
19) How do American Lock A1265 padlocks ship, and can I buy less than a full carton?
The A1265 packs 6 to a shelf pack and 24 to a master carton. Useful when you are standardizing a facility and want to work out how many cartons cover a keyed alike group across buildings.
