American Lock AME-A1265KA BLK 2KEY – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the American Lock A1265KA come keyed alike, and what does that mean for a crew carrying one key?
The A1265KA is the keyed alike version of the A1265 solid aluminum padlock, so every lock on the order opens with the same key. That is the setup for a maintenance crew, a tool crib, or a row of gates where one key has to work everywhere. If you need each lock on its own key instead, the A1265 (A1265KD) is keyed different, A1265KZ ships zero-bitted, and A1265UN is uncombinated. Master keyed variants exist as A1265MK and A1265KAMK.
2) Will the A1265KA padlock fit through my hasp or a chain link gate latch?
Check two numbers before you order. The shackle is 5/16 inch in diameter and the clearance between the shackle legs is 3/4 inch, with a 1-1/8 inch shackle length (vertical clearance). The body is 1-3/4 inch wide. If your hasp eye is smaller than 5/16 inch or the staple is thicker than 3/4 inch, this lock will not go on. For taller shackle needs, the A1266 and A1267 are the longer shackle versions of the same body.
3) Can the A1265KA be rekeyed later, or do I have to replace the whole lock?
It rekeys. The A1265KA uses a 6-pin APTC14 rekeyable cylinder with tens of thousands of key changes, so a locksmith can re-pin it in the field when a key walks off or a tenant turns over. That is the difference between this and a sealed, non-rekeyable padlock, and it is why facilities standardize on it across a site.
4) If I am ordering keyed alike padlocks, do I need to give a key code?
There is a key code field on the order for the A1265KA. If you already have American Lock keyed alike padlocks on site and want new locks to run on that same key, supply the existing code so the new locks are cut to match. Leave it off and you get a fresh keyed alike group. That is the one entry that decides whether these join your existing key or start a new one.
5) What padlock has the same 5/16 inch shackle diameter as the American Lock A1265KA if I need a brass body instead of aluminum?
The American Lock A1265KA uses a 5/16 inch diameter shackle on a 1-3/4 inch wide aluminum body. The Schlage KS23D/KS23F padlock also carries a 5/16 inch diameter shackle and uses a brass body, so it matches on shackle gauge while giving you brass in place of aluminum. The Medeco 54515G XT electronic indoor/outdoor padlock is another 5/16 inch shackle option if the opening calls for electronic credentials rather than a mechanical key.
6) I need a padlock body narrower than the American Lock A1265KA for a tight hasp. What are the options?
The A1265KA body is 1-3/4 inches wide. For a narrower footprint, the ABUS 72/30 anodized aluminum safety padlock is 1-1/4 inch body width with a 3/16 inch shackle, the ABUS T84MB/30 Nautic is 1-17/64 inch body width with a 13/64 inch shackle, and the ABUS 74/40 insulated safety padlock is 1-1/2 inch body width with a 1/4 inch shackle. All three step the shackle diameter down along with the body, so confirm the hasp eye and the cut resistance you need before switching.
7) The American Lock A1265KA is rekeyable. What should I use instead if my facility runs an interchangeable core system?
The A1265KA uses a rekeyable 6-pin APTC14 cylinder that is pinned at the lock. If your facility standardizes on removable cores so any padlock can be recored with the same key system as the doors, the Sargent 60-858-2 removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle is the counterpart to look at. The Sargent 82-856 in the KESO series is another route, with a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case and stainless steel shackle.
8) The A1265KA shackle is only 1-1/8 inch tall. What padlock gives me a taller shackle for a thick hasp or chain?
The American Lock A1265KA shackle clearance is 1-1/8 inches, which suits standard hasps, lockers and tool cribs. When you need to pass through a thicker hasp, a chain link or a gate latch, the Sargent 60-858-2 carries a 2 inch stainless steel shackle and the Sargent 82-856 pairs a stainless steel shackle with a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case. If the clearance is adequate and you just need the lock tethered, the A1265KA can be ordered with a 9 inch #40 zinc plated sash chain.
9) Is an aluminum body padlock strong enough for outdoor gates and yard storage?
The A1265 body is solid aluminum with a black anodized finish, which is what makes it a good outdoor choice: aluminum does not rust like a plated steel body. The cut resistance comes from the shackle, which is hardened boron alloy steel at 5/16 inch diameter, and a dual ball bearing locking mechanism resists pulling and prying. American Lock points it at self storage units and lockers, harsh outdoor conditions, manufacturing environments, and tool cribs.
10) Can I get these padlocks in different colors to separate departments or trades?
Yes. The A1265 aluminum body comes in nine colors: black, blue, brown, clear, green, orange, purple, red, and yellow. Color coding is the usual reason people buy aluminum bodies, one color per department, per contractor, or per building. The color suffixes run on the part number, for example A1265KABLU for blue or A1265KARED for red.
11) How many keys come with each American Lock A1265KA padlock?
Standard is 2 keys per lock. You can also order it with 0, 1, 3, or 4 keys per lock, which matters on a keyed alike order where you do not want dozens of duplicate keys floating around a facility. On a large keyed alike set, most buyers cut the key count down rather than take two per lock.
12) What else could I use instead of the American Lock A1265 aluminum padlock?
Depends what you are after. For a smaller anodized aluminum safety lock, the ABUS 72/30 has a 1-1/4 inch body and a 3/16 inch shackle, noticeably lighter duty than the 1-3/4 inch body and 5/16 inch shackle here. The ABUS 76/40 is a plastic-covered aluminum core lock with a 1/4 inch shackle if you want a non-marring body. If you need the same 5/16 inch shackle diameter in brass rather than aluminum, the Schlage KS23D/KS23F is a brass body padlock at that shackle size. For interchangeable core keying into an existing facility system, look at the Sargent 60-858-2 removable core padlock.
13) For a wet or coastal location, is the American Lock A1265KA the right choice or is there a better-suited padlock?
The A1265KA has a solid aluminum body with a black anodized finish and a boron alloy steel shackle, and is listed for harsh outdoor conditions. If the location is standing salt spray or washdown, the Medeco 521 G8R weather-tight padlock uses a solid stainless steel body, the ABUS T84MB/30 Nautic uses a black protective sleeve over the body, and the ABUS 76/40 wraps an aluminum core in a plastic cover with a 1/4 inch shackle. Each takes a different approach to shielding the body from the environment.
14) Do ABUS safety padlocks work as a substitute for the American Lock A1265KA on lockout/tagout?
They serve a different purpose. The A1265KA is a commercial security padlock with a boron alloy steel shackle for cut resistance and a rekeyable 6-pin cylinder, sold keyed alike in nine body colors. The ABUS 72/30 anodized aluminum safety padlock and ABUS 74/40 insulated safety padlock are built for safety lockout duty, where the 74/40 adds insulation and a 6-pin cylinder at 1-1/2 inch body width. If you want keyed alike color coding for security on lockers and tool cribs, the A1265KA color range covers that; if the requirement is an energy isolation safety lock, the ABUS safety series is the right family.
15) If I need a key retaining padlock rather than the American Lock A1265KA, what should I order?
The Sargent 758 is a key retaining standard padlock in a US4 satin brass finish, so the key cannot be removed while the shackle is open. The Sargent 858 is the non-key-retaining counterpart, also US4 satin brass with a stainless steel shackle, and the Medeco 54515G XT is non-key-retaining as well. Key retention is the deciding point when a lock must not be left hanging open on a gate or cabinet.
16) We want an audit trail on padlocked gates. Can the American Lock A1265KA do that?
The A1265KA is a mechanical rekeyable padlock with a 6-pin APTC14 cylinder, keyed alike, so access is controlled by key possession rather than by electronic credentials. For an electronically credentialed padlock rated for indoor and outdoor use, the Medeco 54515G XT is the option in that role, with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter and a cylinder included. It shares the A1265KA shackle diameter, so hasp fit is comparable.
17) Can I order the A1265 padlock with a chain attached so it stays with the gate?
Yes, a #40 sash chain, 9 inches (229mm) long, zinc plated, is an available option on the A1265, or you can take it with no chain. The chain keeps the lock tethered to a gate, locker, or cabinet so it does not get set down and lost. Specify it at the time of order, it is not something added afterward.
18) How do these ship, and what quantity should I buy for a facility rollout?
The A1265KA comes 6 to a shelf pack and 24 to a master carton, which is the practical buying unit for a property or facility standardizing padlocks across a site. Since the keyed alike version puts all of them on one key, a carton of 24 covers a building or a gate run without handing out 24 different keys.
19) Is the A1265KA a commercial grade padlock or a consumer lock?
It is classed commercial. The solid aluminum body, boron alloy shackle, and rekeyable 6-pin cylinder are aimed at self storage, lockers, tool cribs, and manufacturing plants rather than a home shed. That also means it sits in a keying program: you can run keyed alike, keyed different, master keyed, or zero-bitted variants of the same lock across one facility.
