American Lock AME-A1265MK BLK 2KEY – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the MK in American Lock A1265MK mean for keying?
MK means keyed different under a master key. Each A1265MK padlock has its own change key, and a single master key operates the whole group. That's the setup for self-storage, tool cribs, and locker banks where each user gets one key and maintenance carries the master. If you want every lock to share one change key plus a master instead, that is the A1265KAMK. All-different with no master is the A1265 (A1265KD), and keyed alike with no master is the A1265KA.
2) Will the A1265 padlock shackle fit through my hasp or chain link?
The shackle is 5/16 inch diameter with a 1-1/8 inch clearance height and 3/4 inch inside width. That's a short shackle, so it needs a tight hasp or a snug staple, not a loose chain wrap. Measure the opening in your hasp: anything needing more than 1-1/8 inch of vertical clearance won't close. The body itself is 1-3/4 inch wide.
3) Can the A1265MK be rekeyed later, and what cylinder does it use?
Yes, it's a rekeyable padlock built on a 6-pin APTC14 cylinder with tens of thousands of key changes, so a locksmith can re-pin it rather than replace the lock when a tenant turns over or a key goes missing. The cylinder is pick resistant, and the locking mechanism uses dual ball bearings to resist pulling and prying on the shackle.
4) What padlock has the same 5/16 inch shackle diameter as the American Lock A1265MK but a brass body?
The Schlage KS23D/KS23F is a brass padlock with a 5/16 inch diameter shackle, matching the A1265MK shackle diameter of 5/16 inch. The A1265MK body is aluminum at 1-3/4 inch wide, so the Schlage is the option when a brass case is specified instead of aluminum.
5) I need a longer shackle than the American Lock A1265MK offers - what should I use for a thick hasp or gate chain?
The A1265MK shackle clearance is 1-1/8 inch tall. For a taller reach, the Sargent 60-858-2 is a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle, which spans thicker hasps and chain links. Note the Sargent takes a removable core rather than the A1265MK rekeyable cylinder.
6) Which padlock should I use instead of the American Lock A1265MK for a wet or coastal exterior application?
Two alternates are built for exposure: 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 uses a black sleeve over a 1-17/64 inch body with a 13/64 inch shackle. The A1265MK uses an aluminum body 1-3/4 inch wide with a 5/16 inch boron alloy shackle.
7) Is the ABUS 72/30 aluminum padlock a direct substitute for the American Lock A1265MK?
No. 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, both smaller than the A1265MK at 1-3/4 inch wide with a 5/16 inch shackle. A hasp drilled for the heavier American Lock shackle will accept the ABUS, but the reverse is not true, and the 72 Series is a lockout/safety style lock rather than a master keyed security padlock.
8) We standardize on interchangeable core keying - what padlock works instead of the American Lock A1265MK?
The A1265MK uses a rekeyable 6-pin APTC14 cylinder and ships master keyed with keys differing. If your facility keys on cores instead, the Sargent 60-858-2 is a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle, and the Sargent 82-856 is a non-key-retaining padlock with a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case and stainless shackle in the KESO series.
9) What should I use instead of the American Lock A1265MK if I want audit trail or electronic access on a padlock?
The A1265MK is a mechanical rekeyable padlock keyed different under a master key. For electronic credentialing, the Medeco 54515G XT is an electronic indoor/outdoor padlock, non-key retaining, with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter and cylinder included - the same 5/16 inch shackle diameter the A1265MK uses, so hasp clearance carries over.
10) What's the difference between the American Lock A1265, A1266 and A1267?
All three are the same 1-3/4 inch solid aluminum body with a boron alloy shackle; they differ in shackle height. The A1265 is the 1-1/8 inch short shackle. The A1266 and A1267 are the longer-shackle versions of the same lock. Pick the A1265 when the hasp is tight and you want to minimize the exposed shackle a bolt cutter can get to, and step up to the A1266 or A1267 when you need more clearance for a chain or a thicker hasp.
11) Can I color code padlocks by department or building?
Yes. The A1265MK body comes in nine colors: black, blue, brown, clear, green, orange, purple, red and yellow. Property managers and plant maintenance groups use the color to sort by building, crew, or hazard class while keeping one master key across the whole set. The finish is anodized aluminum, so the color is in the surface rather than a paint coat that chips off a tool crib lock.
12) How many keys come with each American Lock A1265MK padlock, and can I order it with none?
Standard is 2 keys per lock. You can also order 1, 3, or 4 keys per lock, or 0 keys per lock if you are a locksmith keying these into an existing system and don't want loose keys in the box. Choose the key count on the order, since it is a separate option from body color.
13) Does the A1265 padlock come with a chain to keep it attached to the locker or gate?
There's a chain option: a #40 sash chain, 9 inches long, zinc plated, or NONE if you don't want one. The chain keeps the padlock tethered so it doesn't walk off when the door is open, which is why self-storage and locker applications ask for it. If you don't specify the chain, the lock ships without one.
14) Is this aluminum padlock suitable for outdoor gates and wash-down areas?
It's built for it. Solid aluminum body with a black anodized finish for harsh outdoor conditions and manufacturing environments, paired with a hardened boron alloy steel shackle for cut resistance. Aluminum won't rust the way a plated steel body does. It's rated for commercial use rather than residential.
15) What other brands should I look at instead of an American Lock aluminum padlock?
Depends on what the aluminum body isn't giving you. For lockout/tagout on an electrical panel, the ABUS 74/40 insulated safety padlock has a 6-pin cylinder, 1/4 inch shackle and 1-1/2 inch body, and the ABUS 76/40 is a plastic-covered aluminum core lock at 1/4 inch shackle. If you need the padlock keyed into an existing large-format interchangeable core system, the Sargent 60-858-2 removable core padlock takes a 2 inch stainless shackle. For a brass body with the same 5/16 inch shackle diameter as the A1265, look at the Schlage KS23D/KS23F. For marine exposure, the Medeco 521 G8R is a solid stainless steel weather-tight body.
16) I need padlocks with no keying at all so my locksmith can set them up. What should I order?
Two options in the same body. The A1265UN is uncombinated, shipped without a keyed cylinder combination set, and the A1265KZ is zero-bitted for a locksmith to bit to your system. Either way you can also specify 0 keys per lock. If you'd rather have the factory do the master keying, the A1265MK ships keyed different under a master.
17) Do I need a key-retaining padlock, and is the American Lock A1265MK one?
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 - common on utility and tool crib policies. The A1265MK is a rekeyable master keyed padlock with a 1-1/8 inch shackle. If key retention is the requirement, the Sargent 758 is a key retaining standard padlock in US4 satin brass; the Sargent 858 is the non-key-retaining version with a stainless steel shackle in the same US4 satin brass finish.
18) I need a heavier shackle than the American Lock A1265MK - what brass body padlock steps up?
The Medeco 5260 in the 52 Series has a brass body with a 7/16 inch shackle diameter and M3 key technology in a satin chrome finish. That is a larger shackle section than the 5/16 inch boron alloy shackle on the A1265MK, so confirm your hasp opening accepts 7/16 inch before you switch.
19) For self-storage and locker fleets, how does the American Lock A1265MK compare to the safety padlocks in the ABUS 72 and 74 series?
The A1265MK is built for self-storage units, lockers, tool cribs and outdoor or manufacturing environments, with a 1-3/4 inch aluminum body, 5/16 inch boron alloy shackle and a rekeyable cylinder that can be master keyed, and it can be ordered with a 9 inch #40 zinc plated sash chain. The ABUS 72/30 (1-1/4 inch body, 3/16 inch shackle) and ABUS 74/40 (insulated, 1-1/2 inch body, 1/4 inch shackle, 6-pin) are safety padlocks, a lockout-oriented style with lighter shackles.
20) How are these padlocks packaged if I'm buying for a whole facility?
Shelf pack is 6 locks and the master carton is 24. If you're standardizing a locker bank or a storage facility, order in those increments to keep the keying group together and avoid split packs.
