American Lock AME-A1266KD BLK 2KEY – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the American Lock A1266 padlock fit my hasp? What are the shackle dimensions?
The A1266 uses a 2 inch tall shackle with a 5/16 inch diameter and 3/4 inch clearance between the legs. That 3/4 inch inside width is the number that decides hasp fit, and the 5/16 inch diameter needs a staple or hasp eye big enough to pass it. The lock body itself is 1-3/4 inches wide.
2) What does KD mean on the A1266KD, and how do I order these keyed alike instead?
KD is keyed different, meaning every padlock has its own key and no two open each other. That is what you want when separate tenants or separate crews each control their own lock. If you need one key to open a group of locks, the A1266KA is the keyed alike version. There is also A1266KZ zero-bitted and A1266UN uncombinated for locksmiths pinning to an existing system, plus A1266MK and A1266KAMK when the locks have to sit under a master key.
3) Can the American Lock A1266 be rekeyed into our existing key system?
Yes. The A1266 carries a 6-pin APTC14 rekeyable cylinder, so a locksmith can pin it to your system rather than adding another orphan key to the building. If you are pinning in-house from scratch, order the zero-bitted A1266KZ or the uncombinated A1266UN instead of the keyed different version.
4) What padlock has the same 5/16 inch shackle diameter as the American Lock A1266 but a brass body instead of aluminum?
The Schlage KS23D/KS23F is a brass-body padlock with a 5/16 inch diameter shackle, matching the 5/16 inch shackle diameter of the American Lock A1266. The A1266 uses a 1-3/4 inch wide solid aluminum body, so the choice is body material and width rather than shackle size. Brass suits interior and gate use where a heavier non-ferrous body is preferred; the anodized aluminum A1266 is offered in black, blue, brown, clear, green, orange, purple, red and yellow bodies for color coding crews, departments or tenants.
5) For lockout/tagout on an electrical panel, is the American Lock A1266 the right choice or is there a better option?
For lockout/tagout on live electrical equipment, consider the ABUS 74/40 insulated safety padlock with a 6-pin cylinder, 1/4 inch shackle diameter and 1-1/2 inch body width, or the ABUS 76/40 plastic-covered aluminum core padlock with a 1/4 inch shackle and 1 37/64 inch width. Both carry a non-conductive covering over the body. The American Lock A1266 is a 1-3/4 inch wide solid aluminum body with a 5/16 inch boron alloy shackle and an anodized finish, offered in nine body colors for personal assignment, which makes it a heavier-shackle choice for gates, tool cribs and outdoor service points.
6) Is an aluminum body padlock strong enough for outdoor use, or should I use steel?
The A1266 body is solid aluminum, which does not rust the way a plated steel body does, and it carries a black anodized finish for weather exposure. The cut resistance comes from the shackle, not the body: it is hardened boron alloy steel, 5/16 inch diameter. A dual ball bearing locking mechanism resists pulling and prying. It is built for harsh outdoor conditions, manufacturing plants, tool cribs, and self storage. If you specifically need a stainless steel body instead of aluminum, the Medeco 521 G8R is a weather-tight solid stainless steel body padlock.
7) How do I color code padlocks by department or crew?
The A1266 body is offered in nine colors: black, blue, brown, clear, green, orange, purple, red, and yellow. Property managers and plant maintenance groups use that to split locks by building, trade, or shift without stamping anything. The catalog numbers follow the color, for example A1266BLU for blue and A1266RED for red.
8) How many keys come with each American Lock A1266 padlock?
Standard is 2 keys per lock. You can also order the A1266 with 1, 3, or 4 keys per lock, or with 0 keys per lock when your locksmith is cutting keys on site from your own system.
9) Can I get the A1266 padlock with a chain so it stays attached to the gate?
Yes. The A1266 can be ordered with a #40 sash chain, 9 inches long, zinc plated, or with no chain at all. The chain version keeps the lock on the hasp or gate post instead of on the ground after it is opened, which is the usual reason fleet and facility buyers add it.
10) How do the American Lock A1265, A1266, and A1267 differ?
All three are American Lock rekeyable solid aluminum padlocks with a 1-3/4 inch wide body and a boron alloy shackle. The difference is shackle height. The A1266 is the 2 inch shackle. The A1265 and A1267 are the shorter and taller siblings in the same family, so pick by how much hasp clearance the opening needs. Body, cylinder, and color choices carry across all three.
11) Is the A1266 a lockout/tagout safety padlock?
The A1266 is a commercial security padlock for self storage units, lockers, tool cribs, gates, and outdoor equipment. For electrical lockout/tagout work where an insulated or non-conductive body is required, the ABUS 74/40 insulated safety padlock and the ABUS 76/40 plastic-covered aluminum core padlock are built for that duty instead.
12) What is a smaller-bodied alternative to the American Lock A1266 for lockers and light-duty hasps?
The ABUS 72/30 anodized aluminum safety padlock has a 1-1/4 inch body width and a 3/16 inch shackle diameter, and the ABUS T84MB/30 Nautic has a 1 17/64 inch body with a 13/64 inch shackle. Both are smaller than the American Lock A1266, which is 1-3/4 inch wide with a 5/16 inch shackle, so they fit tighter hasps and locker latches where the A1266 shackle will not pass. The A1266 keeps the heavier boron alloy shackle for cut resistance.
13) Which padlock should I use for a wash-down or marine exposure instead of the American Lock A1266?
For constant water exposure, the Medeco 521 G8R is a weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body, and the ABUS T84MB/30 Nautic uses a black sleeve over the body for marine service. The American Lock A1266 is a solid aluminum body with a black anodized finish and a boron alloy shackle built for harsh outdoor conditions, which covers yard, gate and self-storage exposure; the stainless Medeco body is the choice where the hardware sits in salt spray or is hosed down routinely.
14) Does the Sargent 758 do the same job as the American Lock A1266?
Both are keyed padlocks, but they behave differently at the door. The Sargent 758 is a key retaining padlock in a US4 satin brass finish, meaning the key cannot be withdrawn while the lock is open - useful when you do not want keys walking off with the lock hanging on a gate. The Sargent 858 is the non-key-retaining version of that body. The American Lock A1266 is a rekeyable 6-pin cylinder in a 1-3/4 inch solid aluminum body with a 5/16 inch boron shackle and is ordered keyed different, so each lock carries its own key.
15) Is there an electronic or high-security cylinder padlock to use where the American Lock A1266 mechanical cylinder is not enough?
Two step-ups exist. The Medeco 54515G XT is an electronic indoor/outdoor padlock, non-key retaining, with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter and cylinder - the same 5/16 inch shackle size as the American Lock A1266 - and it logs and controls access electronically. The Medeco 5260 is a 52 Series brass body padlock with a 7/16 inch shackle diameter and M3 key technology in satin chrome, a heavier shackle with patented key control. The A1266 uses a mechanical rekeyable 6-pin cylinder in an aluminum body.
16) We key our building to a Sargent KESO system - can we still use the American Lock A1266?
If the site standard is KESO, the padlock that carries that system is the Sargent 82-856, a non-key retaining padlock with a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case and stainless steel shackle. The American Lock A1266 uses its own rekeyable 6-pin cylinder in a 1-3/4 inch aluminum body and is ordered keyed different, so it runs on its own key system rather than joining a KESO hierarchy.
17) How many A1266 padlocks come in a case if I am buying for a whole facility?
The A1266 ships 6 per shelf pack and 24 to a master carton. Useful when you are standardizing a site and want to order in full cartons rather than singles.
18) Does the A1266 have a brass or stainless body option?
No. The A1266 is aluminum only, in nine anodized colors. If the spec calls for a brass body, the Sargent 758 and 858 padlocks come in US4 satin brass, the Medeco 5260 is a brass body with a 7/16 inch shackle diameter, and the Schlage KS23D/KS23F is a brass padlock with a 5/16 inch shackle.
