American Lock AME-A1266KAMK BLK 2KEY – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the KAMK suffix mean on the American Lock A1266KAMK padlock?
KAMK means keyed alike and master keyed. Every lock on the order opens with the same change key, and a master key above them opens that group along with other locks in the same master system. That is the setup most self-storage operations, tool cribs and maintenance departments want: techs carry one key for the whole set, a supervisor carries the master. If you want each lock on its own key under a master instead, that is the A1266MK. Plain keyed alike with no master is A1266KA, and keyed different is A1266 (A1266KD).
2) Can these aluminum padlocks be rekeyed in the field?
Yes. The A1266 uses a 6-pin APTC14 rekeyable cylinder, so a locksmith can repin it rather than scrapping the lock when a key is lost or an employee leaves. American Lock states the cylinder carries tens of thousands of key changes, which is what lets a large keyed alike group sit under a master without collisions.
3) Do I need to supply a key code when I order a keyed alike master keyed padlock?
Yes, there is a key code field on the order. For a keyed alike master keyed order the code tells the factory which existing change key and master system to cut these locks to, so they match locks you already have in the field. If you are starting a fresh system rather than adding to one, say so with the code you want assigned.
4) What is the closest alternative to the American Lock A1266KAMK if the padlock has to accept an interchangeable core instead of a rekeyable pin cylinder?
The American Lock A1266KAMK is a rekeyable aluminum-body padlock with a 1-3/4 inch wide body and a 5/16 inch diameter shackle, keyed alike and master keyed. If the facility standard calls for a removable core so the core can be swapped rather than the lock repinned, the Sargent 60-858-2 is a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle. Both carry a 2 inch shackle length, so hasp clearance is comparable; the difference is that the Sargent takes a core from the Sargent system while the American Lock is pinned in the lock body.
5) Which padlock should I use instead of the American Lock A1266KAMK for a coastal or washdown location?
The A1266KAMK uses a solid aluminum body with a boron alloy steel shackle, which is built for harsh outdoor conditions but is still a steel shackle. Where salt exposure is constant, the Medeco 521 G8R is a weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body, and the ABUS T84MB/30 Nautic is a sleeve-covered padlock with a 13/64 inch shackle diameter intended for marine use. The G8R 521 ships less its pop-out cylinder, so plan the cylinder separately; the ABUS Nautic is a much lighter lock at that shackle size than the 5/16 inch shackle on the American Lock.
6) Is an ABUS 72/30 safety padlock a substitute for the American Lock A1266KAMK on a lockout program?
They are not the same class of lock. 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 and built for lockout/tagout where the shackle is meant to be light and the lock personal. The American Lock A1266KAMK has a 1-3/4 inch wide body and a 5/16 inch shackle for security service on self-storage units, tool cribs and outdoor gates, and it is supplied keyed alike under a master key. If you need colored locks for LOTO identification, the ABUS 72 Series is the right family; if you need a colored security padlock under a master key system, the A1266KAMK comes in nine body colors including blue, red, green and yellow.
7) Is an aluminum body padlock strong enough for outdoor gates and yard use?
The body is solid aluminum, 1-3/4 inches wide, with a black anodized finish that holds up outdoors, and the shackle is hardened boron alloy steel rather than aluminum, which is where cut resistance comes from. A dual ball bearing locking mechanism resists pulling and prying. American Lock lists it for harsh outdoor conditions, manufacturing environments, self-storage units and lockers, and tool cribs. If you need a stainless body instead, the Medeco 521 G8R is a solid stainless steel weather-tight padlock.
8) Can I get these padlocks in different colors to separate departments or tenants?
Nine lockbody colors are offered: black, blue, brown, clear, green, orange, purple, red and yellow. Color coding is a common way to split a keyed alike master system by building, crew or tenant bank while keeping one master key over all of them. The colored versions carry a suffix on the model, for example A1266KAMKBLU for blue and A1266KAMKRED for red.
9) How many keys come with each American Lock A1266 padlock, and can I order fewer?
Standard is 2 keys per lock. You can also order 1 key per lock, 3, 4, or 0 keys per lock. On a large keyed alike master keyed order the zero and one key options keep you from paying for a pile of duplicate keys you will never hand out.
10) Can I get an American Lock A1266 padlock with a chain attached so it does not get lost?
Yes. A chain option is available: a #40 sash chain, 9 inches (229mm) long, zinc plated, or you can take the lock with no chain. The chain keeps the padlock tethered to the hasp or gate frame, which is what storage operators and maintenance crews use to stop locks walking off between uses.
11) How do the A1265, A1266 and A1267 aluminum padlocks differ?
All three are the same 1-3/4 inch wide solid aluminum rekeyable body with a boron alloy shackle. The number denotes shackle height: the A1266 carries a 2 inch shackle. Each of the three is offered across the same keying set, keyed different, keyed alike, master keyed, keyed alike master keyed, uncombinated and zero-bitted. Pick the model by how much shackle clearance the hasp or chain needs, then pick the keying suffix.
12) What are the alternatives to an American Lock aluminum padlock for a commercial facility?
If you run a Sargent keying system already, the Sargent 60-858-2 is a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle, and the 758 and 858 are the key retaining and non-key retaining versions. For a brass body with the same 5/16 inch shackle diameter as the A1266, look at the Schlage KS23D/KS23F. Safety lockout and tagout is a different job entirely: ABUS 72/30 anodized aluminum safety padlocks and the insulated ABUS 74/40 are built for that, not for gate and storage security.
13) What is a brass-body equivalent to the American Lock A1266KAMK with the same 5/16 inch shackle?
The Schlage KS23D/KS23F is a brass padlock with a 5/16 inch diameter shackle, the same shackle diameter as the American Lock A1266KAMK, so it will pass through the same hasp openings. The difference is body material and keying: the American Lock body is solid aluminum, offered keyed alike and master keyed, while the Schlage is brass on the Schlage 20 Series cylinder platform. Choose by which key system the site is already standardized on.
14) What would I use instead of the American Lock A1266KAMK if I need audit trail or electronic access on the padlock?
The A1266KAMK is a mechanical rekeyable padlock with a 6-pin APTC14 cylinder and no electronics. For openings that need programmable access rather than a cut key, the Medeco 54515G XT is an electronic indoor/outdoor padlock with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter, non-key retaining, supplied with cylinder. The shackle diameter matches the American Lock at 5/16 inch, so existing hasps generally carry over.
15) For an electrical panel lockout where the lock body must be non-conductive, does the A1266KAMK work?
The A1266KAMK body is solid aluminum, a conductive metal, so it is not the pick for insulated lockout duty. 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. Both run a smaller shackle than the 5/16 inch on the American Lock, so confirm the hasp does not need the heavier shackle.
16) Is there a higher-security cylinder padlock to pair with the American Lock A1266KAMK on the same site?
The A1266KAMK uses a 6-pin APTC14 rekeyable cylinder. Where a restricted or patented key platform is required on a subset of openings, the Medeco 5260 is a 52 Series brass body padlock with a 7/16 inch shackle diameter on M3 key technology in satin chrome, and the Sargent 82-856 is a non-key-retaining padlock on the KESO Series with a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case and stainless steel shackle. Note the Medeco 5260 shackle is heavier than the 5/16 inch shackle on the American Lock, so the hasp opening has to accept it.
17) How many padlocks come in a case?
Shelf pack is 6 locks and the master carton holds 24. Worth knowing when you are standardizing a site and want to order in whole cartons rather than loose counts.
