American Lock AME-A1265KZ BLK 2KEY – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does zero-bitted mean on the American Lock A1265KZ padlock, and can a locksmith key it to my existing system?
Zero-bitted means the A1265KZ ships with its 6-pin APTC14 cylinder pinned to all-zero cuts, so it is not usable on a jobsite until a locksmith pins it. That is the point: you bit it to your own keyway and key system rather than accepting factory keying. The cylinder is rekeyable and carries tens of thousands of key changes. If you do not have a keying bench, order the keyed different, keyed alike, or master keyed versions of the same lock instead.
2) Will the A1265KZ padlock shackle fit through my hasp or chain link?
The shackle is 5/16 inch in diameter with a 1-1/8 inch clearance height and 3/4 inch inside width, so your hasp staple or chain link has to accept a 5/16 inch bar and the material you are locking through cannot stack up more than about 1-1/8 inches inside the shackle. On a thick hasp or a heavy chain, step up to a longer shackle version.
3) Our facility standardizes on small-format interchangeable cores. Is the A1265KZ the right padlock for that?
No - the A1265KZ uses a rekeyable 6-pin APTC14 cylinder shipped zero-bitted, so it is pinned to your keyway rather than accepting a removable core. If your master key system runs on cores you swap in the field, the Sargent 60-858-2 is a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle and is the one to price against. Sargent also lists the 758 as a key retaining standard padlock in US4 satin brass and the 858 as a non-key retaining padlock with a stainless steel shackle in the same finish, if you want a conventional cylinder in that family instead.
4) What is the closest alternative to the American Lock A1265KZ padlock if I need the same 5/16 inch shackle diameter?
Two padlocks carry the same 5/16 inch shackle diameter as the A1265KZ. The Schlage KS23D/KS23F is a brass-body padlock with a 5/16 inch diameter shackle, and the Medeco 54515G XT is an electronic indoor/outdoor padlock, non-key retaining, also with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter. The A1265KZ differs in body material and keying setup: it uses a 1-3/4 inch wide solid aluminum body and ships zero-bitted, meaning a locksmith pins the rekeyable cylinder to the site keyway before the lock goes into service. The Schlage is brass-bodied and the Medeco 54515G is an electronic credential lock rather than a mechanically keyed one.
5) I need a padlock for lockout tagout on an electrical panel, not a security padlock. What should I use instead of the A1265KZ?
For lockout tagout on energized equipment, look at the ABUS safety padlocks rather than the A1265KZ. 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, and the ABUS 76/40 is a plastic-covered aluminum core padlock with a 1/4 inch shackle and 1 37/64 inch width - the non-conductive covering is the point on both. The A1265KZ is a bare solid aluminum body 1-3/4 inches wide with a 5/16 inch boron alloy shackle, built for self-storage, tool cribs and outdoor gates. Its color range does cover the padlock-per-worker color coding many shops use, with black, blue, brown, clear, green, orange, purple, red and yellow bodies.
6) What padlock should I specify instead of the American Lock A1265KZ for a coastal or wash-down location?
For salt spray and constant wet, the Medeco 521 G8R is a weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body, supplied less pop-out cylinder so you fit your own. The ABUS T84MB/30 Nautic is the other marine-oriented option, a black sleeve padlock with a 13/64 inch shackle diameter and 1 17/64 inch body width, sold three to a pack. The A1265KZ handles harsh outdoor conditions with a solid aluminum body and black anodized finish, but it is an anodized aluminum body rather than stainless, and its shackle is 5/16 inch boron alloy steel.
7) Is a 1-3/4 inch aluminum American Lock body wide enough for my hasp opening?
The A1265 body measures 1-3/4 inches (44mm) across and is machined from solid aluminum with a black anodized finish. Measure the pocket or recess on your hasp before ordering, since a 1-3/4 inch body will not drop into a hasp cut for a narrower lock. For a smaller footprint, the ABUS 72/30 aluminum safety padlock runs a 1-1/4 inch body with a 3/16 inch shackle.
8) Will an aluminum padlock hold up outdoors on a gate or yard storage?
Solid aluminum body with a black anodized finish is what American Lock specifies for harsh outdoor conditions, manufacturing environments, tool cribs, and self storage units and lockers. The shackle is hardened boron alloy steel for cut resistance, and a dual ball bearing locking mechanism resists pulling and prying. For coastal or wash-down duty where you want stainless, the Medeco 521 G8R weather-tight padlock has a solid stainless steel body.
9) Can I color code American Lock A1265 padlocks by department or crew?
Yes. The A1265KZ body comes in black, blue, brown, clear, green, orange, purple, red, and yellow, which is how most lockout and tool crib programs separate trades or shifts. Nine colors on one lock body means one keying program across the whole fleet with visual separation on the hasp.
10) How many keys come with each American Lock A1265KZ, and can I order it with none?
Standard is 2 keys per lock, and you can also specify 0, 1, 3, or 4 keys per lock. Zero keys is the usual choice on a zero-bitted lock, since the locksmith is cutting keys to your own system anyway and factory blanks just get scrapped.
11) What is the difference between the American Lock A1265, A1266, and A1267?
All three are the same 1-3/4 inch (44mm) wide solid aluminum rekeyable body with a boron shackle; the number steps the shackle height up, so pick by how much clearance you need through the hasp or chain. The A1265 uses the 1-1/8 inch shackle. Each of the three is offered keyed different, keyed alike, master keyed, uncombinated, and zero-bitted.
12) Is the ABUS 72/30 a direct substitute for the American Lock A1265KZ?
They are not interchangeable on the same hasp. 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. The A1265KZ is a 1-3/4 inch wide solid aluminum body with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter and a 1-1/8 inch shackle clearance height. If your hasp was drilled for the American Lock, the ABUS shackle will pass through but sit loose, and the smaller body covers less of the hasp. Both are anodized aluminum, so the substitution is about size and shackle stock, not material.
13) I need a heavier shackle than the A1265KZ carries. What are my options?
The A1265KZ shackle is 5/16 inch in diameter and 1-1/8 inch tall. If you need a thicker shackle, the Medeco 5260 from the 52 Series has a 7/16 inch shackle diameter on a brass body in satin chrome with M3 key technology. If you need more clearance rather than more stock, the Sargent 60-858-2 and the Sargent 82-856 both use 2 inch stainless steel shackles, the 82-856 on a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case and non-key retaining.
14) We want keys that cannot be walked away with. Does the A1265KZ retain the key when unlocked?
Key retention is a per-function choice on padlocks and the peer set spells it out plainly: the Sargent 758 is the key retaining standard padlock, while the Sargent 858 and the Sargent 82-856 are non-key retaining, as is the Medeco 54515G XT. If key retention is a firm requirement on the opening, spec the Sargent 758. Where the A1265KZ fits is key control on the cylinder side - it ships zero-bitted on a rekeyable 6-pin APTC14 cylinder, so you pin it to your own restricted keyway, and it can be ordered with 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4 keys per lock.
15) We want audit trail and scheduled access on our gate locks. Is the A1265KZ able to do that?
The A1265KZ is a mechanical padlock with a rekeyable 6-pin APTC14 cylinder and a dual ball bearing locking mechanism - it opens with a cut key and keeps no record. For electronic credential control on an outdoor opening, the Medeco 54515G XT is the electronic indoor/outdoor padlock in the comparable set, non-key retaining, with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter and supplied with cylinder. That matches the A1265KZ shackle diameter, so a hasp drilled for one accepts the other.
16) Can I get an American Lock A1265 padlock with a chain so it stays attached to the gate?
There is a chain option: a #40 sash chain, 9 inches (229mm) long, zinc plated, or you can order the lock with no chain. The chain keeps the padlock captive on a gate, locker, or electrical panel so it does not walk off when the opening is unlocked.
17) How does the American Lock A1265 pack for a multi-site or facility rollout?
It ships 6 per shelf pack and 24 per master carton, which is convenient sizing when you are standardizing a facility and sending a box to each building or crew. Bear in mind the KZ version arrives zero-bitted, so budget bench time to pin each one before they go out.
18) Do I need a brass body padlock instead of the aluminum A1265KZ?
That depends on what the opening asks for. The A1265KZ body is solid aluminum, 1-3/4 inches wide, with a black anodized finish and a boron alloy steel shackle. Brass-body alternatives include the Schlage KS23D/KS23F with a 5/16 inch shackle, the Medeco 5260 in satin chrome with a 7/16 inch shackle, and the Sargent 758 and 858 in US4 satin brass. Aluminum keeps the lock lighter and takes the color anodizing the A1265KZ offers across nine body colors for department or tenant coding; brass gives you a heavier body and the traditional brass finishes.
19) For lockers where the lock has to stay with the door, is there a better choice than a plain A1265KZ?
The A1265KZ can be ordered with a #40 sash chain, 9 inches long, zinc plated, attached to the lock body, which tethers it to the locker or hasp so it does not get set down and lost - that is why it is called out for self-storage units and lockers. None of the brass or stainless comparables such as the Sargent 758, Sargent 858 or Schlage KS23D/KS23F are offered with a chain option, so if tethering is the requirement, the chained build is the one to order.
