American Lock AME-A1266KA BLK 2KEY – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the KA in American Lock A1266KA mean, and will every lock I order open with the same key?
KA is keyed alike: every A1266KA on a given key code opens with the same key. That is why a key code field is part of the order, so a follow-on order years later can be matched to the original code and keep working across the same set of locks. If you want each lock on its own key, the keyed different version is the A1266 (A1266KD); if you want them blank for your own pinning, the A1266KZ is zero-bitted and the A1266UN is uncombinated.
2) Will an American Lock A1266KA padlock fit through my hasp? What are the shackle dimensions?
The shackle on the A1266KA is 5/16 inch in diameter, 2 inches tall, with 3/4 inch clearance between the legs. Measure the hole in your hasp or chain link first: anything under 5/16 inch will not take it, and the 3/4 inch spread limits how thick a hasp staple or how many links you can capture. The body itself is 1-3/4 inches wide.
3) Can I color code padlocks by department or crew with the American Lock A1266KA?
Yes, the anodized aluminum body comes in nine colors: black, blue, brown, clear, green, orange, purple, red and yellow. Keeping them all keyed alike on one code while assigning a color per trade, building or crew is the usual way facilities and contractors handle this. The color suffix follows the model number, for example A1266KARED or A1266KAYLW.
4) Can a locksmith rekey the American Lock A1266KA, or is it a throwaway lock?
It is rekeyable. The cylinder is a 6-pin APTC14 rekeyable unit that American Lock describes as pick resistant with tens of thousands of key changes, so when a key walks off you repin the lock instead of replacing the fleet. If you want to pin them yourself out of the box, order the zero-bitted A1266KZ rather than a keyed alike code.
5) Can I put these padlocks on a master key system?
Yes. Within the same aluminum body family American Lock offers master keyed versions: the A1266MK is keyed different under a master key, and the A1266KAMK is keyed alike under a master key. Use the KAMK when a crew all carries one operating key but a supervisor or facility master needs to open every lock.
6) I need padlocks that take my building's existing Schlage or Sargent key system. Is the A1266 the right choice?
No. The A1266 uses American Lock's own 6-pin APTC14 cylinder, so it keys into an American Lock system, not into another manufacturer's keyway. To tie padlocks into an existing system, look at the brand you already run: Schlage's KS23D/KS23F brass padlock has a 5/16 inch shackle like the A1266, Sargent offers the 758 key retaining and 858 non-key retaining padlocks, and the Sargent 60-858-2 takes a removable core with a 2 inch stainless shackle.
7) What padlock has the same 5/16 inch shackle diameter as the American Lock A1266KA if a different brand is required?
The A1266KA carries a 5/16 inch shackle diameter on a 1-3/4 inch wide solid aluminum body. Two other brands list the same 5/16 inch shackle diameter: the Schlage KS23D/KS23F brass padlock and the Medeco 54515G XT electronic indoor/outdoor padlock, which is non-key retaining. The A1266KA is the aluminum-body option of the three and is rekeyable with a 6-pin APTC14 cylinder.
8) Which padlock should I use instead of the American Lock A1266KA where the lock sits in constant salt spray or wash-down?
The A1266KA uses a solid aluminum body with a boron alloy steel shackle. Where corrosion is the governing concern, the Medeco 521 G8R is a weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body, supplied less pop-out cylinder, and the ABUS T84MB/30 Nautic uses a black sleeve over the body with a 13/64 inch shackle for lighter marine duty. The A1266KA remains the rekeyable 6-pin choice with the larger 5/16 inch boron shackle.
9) Is the ABUS 72/30 aluminum padlock a substitute for the American Lock A1266KA?
They are not interchangeable in a security application. The ABUS 72/30 is an anodized aluminum safety padlock with a 1-1/4 inch body and a 3/16 inch shackle diameter, sized for lockout/tagout service. The A1266KA is a 1-3/4 inch wide solid aluminum commercial padlock with a 5/16 inch boron alloy steel shackle and a 2 inch shackle clearance. If the need is safety lockout in assorted colors, the 72/30 fits; if the need is cut resistance on a gate, tool crib, or storage unit, the A1266KA is the heavier body and shackle.
10) We standardize on interchangeable core so our locksmith can key padlocks into the building system. What alternative to the American Lock A1266KA does that?
The A1266KA is rekeyable through its own 6-pin APTC14 cylinder and is supplied keyed alike with the key code given at order. For a removable-core approach 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 steel shackle in the KESO series. Both put keying in the core rather than in the padlock cylinder.
11) What is the difference between the American Lock A1265, A1266 and A1267 aluminum padlocks?
They are the same 1-3/4 inch solid aluminum body and the same rekeyable 6-pin APTC14 cylinder; the difference is shackle height. The A1266 carries a 2 inch tall, 5/16 inch diameter boron alloy shackle. The A1265 and A1267 are the shorter and longer shackle versions of the same lock, each offered in the same keying variations (KD, KA, KZ, UN, MK, KAMK). Pick by how much clearance your hasp or chain needs, then pick the keying suffix.
12) How many keys come with an American Lock A1266KA padlock, and can I get extras or none at all?
Standard supply is 2 keys per lock. You can also order it with 1, 3, or 4 keys per lock, or with 0 keys per lock when you are buying a large keyed alike set and only need a handful of keys total rather than a pair with every padlock.
13) Is there a chain option so the padlock stays attached to the locker or gate?
Yes. The A1266KA can be ordered with a #40 sash chain, 9 inches long, zinc plated, or with no chain at all. The chain keeps the lock tethered to the door, cabinet or gate so it does not get pocketed or lost when the opening is left unlocked.
14) Is an aluminum body padlock tough enough for outdoor gates and yard use?
The A1266 body is solid aluminum with a black anodized finish, chosen for corrosion resistance outdoors rather than raw mass, and the cut resistance comes from the hardened boron alloy steel shackle. American Lock lists it for harsh outdoor conditions, self storage units and lockers, manufacturing plants and tool cribs. A dual ball bearing locking mechanism holds the shackle against pulling and prying. If you want a stainless steel body instead of aluminum, the Medeco 521 G8R weather-tight padlock has a solid stainless steel body.
15) What else could I use instead of the American Lock A1266 aluminum padlock for lockout tagout or a safety program?
The A1266 is a general security padlock with a hardened boron shackle, not a dedicated safety lock. For lockout work, ABUS builds purpose-made safety padlocks: the 72/30 anodized aluminum safety padlock has a 1-1/4 inch body and 3/16 inch shackle, and the 74/40 insulated safety padlock has a 1-1/2 inch body, 1/4 inch shackle and a 6-pin cylinder. Both use thinner shackles than the A1266's 5/16 inch, which is deliberate on a lockout device.
16) Does the American Lock A1266KA retain the key when the shackle is open, and which comparable padlocks do?
For key retention specifically, the Sargent 758 is a key retaining standard padlock in US4 satin brass, while the Sargent 858 and the Medeco 54515G are non-key retaining. The A1266KA is the solid aluminum rekeyable body with a 5/16 inch boron shackle and is ordered keyed alike with 0 to 4 keys per lock depending on the quantity needed for the crew.
17) I need color-coded padlocks for department identification. How does the American Lock A1266KA compare to the ABUS options?
The A1266KA body is offered in black, blue, brown, clear, green, orange, purple, red, and yellow anodized aluminum, and it can be supplied with a #40 sash chain 9 inches long, zinc plated, for tethering to a hasp. Among other brands, the ABUS 76/40 uses a plastic-covered aluminum core with a 1/4 inch shackle and 1 37/64 inch width, and the ABUS 74/40 is an insulated safety padlock with a 6-pin cylinder, 1/4 inch shackle, and 1-1/2 inch body. The A1266KA colors come from the anodized body itself rather than a cover or insulation jacket.
18) What is a heavier-shackle alternative to the American Lock A1266KA for a high-value gate?
The A1266KA shackle is 5/16 inch in diameter with a 3/4 inch shackle width and 2 inch clearance. Where a thicker shackle is called for, the Medeco 5260 in the 52 Series is a brass body padlock with a 7/16 inch shackle diameter and M3 key technology in satin chrome. The A1266KA keeps the lighter solid aluminum body and boron alloy shackle, which is the reason it is specified on self-storage units, lockers, and outdoor equipment.
19) Can I use the Medeco 54515G in place of the American Lock A1266KA to get audit trail on a remote site?
They solve different problems. The Medeco 54515G is an XT electronic indoor/outdoor padlock, non-key retaining, with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter and supplied with cylinder, so access is managed electronically. The A1266KA is a mechanical padlock with a rekeyable 6-pin APTC14 cylinder ordered keyed alike to a key code, which is the approach when many locks must open on one common key without programming.
20) How are American Lock A1266KA padlocks packed for a bulk facility order?
They pack 6 to a shelf pack and 24 to a master carton, which is the practical buying increment when you are standardizing a building or a storage facility on one keyed alike code.
