American Lock AME-A1266KZ BLK 2KEY – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does zero-bitted mean on the American Lock A1266KZ padlock, and will it come with working keys?
Zero-bitted means the A1266KZ ships with its 6-pin APTC14 cylinder pinned to all-zero cuts, so a locksmith pins and keys it to your own system before it goes into service. It is not a ready-to-use keyed lock out of the box. Key count is an order choice: 0, 1, 2 (standard), 3, or 4 keys per lock. If you want a lock that arrives keyed and usable, order the keyed different (A1266KD), keyed alike (A1266KA), or master keyed (A1266MK / A1266KAMK) version instead.
2) I need a padlock with a 2 inch shackle like the American Lock A1266KZ - what else comes that way?
The A1266KZ carries a 2 inch shackle length. The Sargent 60-858-2 removable core padlock also comes with a 2 inch shackle, in stainless steel rather than the boron alloy steel used on the A1266KZ. The Sargent takes a removable core, so it suits a facility already standardized on interchangeable cores, while the A1266KZ is a zero-bitted rekeyable cylinder you pin to your own bitting.
3) What padlock has the same 5/16 inch shackle diameter as the American Lock A1266KZ?
The A1266KZ uses a 5/16 inch diameter shackle. Two other padlocks share that shackle diameter: the Schlage KS23D/KS23F brass padlock and the Medeco 54515G XT electronic indoor/outdoor padlock, which is non-key-retaining and supplied with a cylinder. The A1266KZ differs in body material - it is solid aluminum - while the Schlage KS23D/KS23F uses a brass body. If the hasp opening on your gate or tool crib was sized around a 5/16 inch shackle, all three will pass through it.
4) If I do not want to pin the cylinder myself, what is an alternative to the zero-bitted American Lock A1266KZ?
The A1266KZ ships zero-bitted, meaning the cylinder has no bitting until a locksmith pins it to your key system. If you would rather buy a lock that arrives ready to use, the Sargent 758 is a key-retaining padlock in a US4 satin brass finish, and the Sargent 858 is the non-key-retaining version with a stainless steel shackle in the same US4 finish. Those are a fit when there is no one on staff to do the pinning.
5) Is an ABUS 72/30 aluminum safety padlock a substitute for the American Lock A1266KZ?
They are not interchangeable in most openings. 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 A1266KZ has a 1-3/4 inch wide body and a 5/16 inch shackle, so it is a heavier lock through a larger hasp. The ABUS 72/30 belongs on lockout-tagout points sized for a thin shackle; the American Lock suits tool cribs, self-storage and outdoor gates.
6) What is the difference between the American Lock A1265, A1266 and A1267 aluminum padlocks?
All three share the same 1-3/4 inch (44mm) solid aluminum body and rekeyable cylinder; they differ by shackle height. The A1266 carries a 2 inch shackle. The A1265 and A1267 are the shorter and taller shackle versions of the same body. Pick by how much clearance your hasp, chain, or gate loop needs.
7) Can I color code padlocks by department or tenant with the American Lock A1266?
Yes, the anodized aluminum body comes in nine colors: black, blue, brown, clear, green, orange, purple, red, and yellow. That is what makes this series common in self-storage, tool cribs, and manufacturing plants where locks get assigned by crew, shift, or unit. Since the zero-bitted version is keyed by your locksmith, you can pair a color with a keying group and keep both consistent across the site.
8) Is the American Lock A1266 padlock OK outdoors on a gate or yard enclosure?
It is built for it. The solid aluminum body will not rust the way a plated steel body does, the anodized finish is made for harsh outdoor conditions, and the shackle is hardened boron alloy steel for cut resistance. American Lock lists harsh outdoor conditions among the intended uses for this series.
9) Can I order the American Lock A1266 padlock with a chain for a locker or meter?
Yes. The chain is an order option: either no chain, or a #40 sash chain 9 inches (229mm) long, zinc plated, attached to the lock. The chain version keeps the padlock tethered to the door or cabinet so it does not walk off when the unit is open, which is why storage operators and facility crews spec it.
10) How does the A1266 resist prying and picking compared with a basic padlock?
Two things do the work. A dual ball bearing locking mechanism holds the shackle against pulling and prying, and the 6-pin APTC14 rekeyable cylinder is pick resistant with tens of thousands of key changes. The boron alloy shackle covers the cut attack. It is specified as a commercial padlock, not a residential one.
11) Is there a brass-body padlock with the same 5/16 inch shackle as the American Lock A1266?
Yes, the Schlage KS23D/KS23F brass padlock uses the same 5/16 inch shackle diameter, so it passes through the same hasp openings. The difference is body material: brass on the Schlage, solid aluminum on the A1266, which is the lighter choice and the one American Lock builds in nine colors for sorting locks by area or crew.
12) What should I use instead of the American Lock A1266KZ in a wet or marine environment?
The A1266KZ is a solid aluminum body lock with a black anodized finish rated for harsh outdoor conditions. Where you want a body that is not aluminum, 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 is a sleeved padlock with a 13/64 inch shackle and 1-17/64 inch body for smaller marine hasps. Both sit in a different size class than the 1-3/4 inch wide American Lock.
13) I need color-coded padlocks for crews - how does the American Lock A1266KZ compare to plastic-covered options?
The A1266KZ body comes in black, blue, brown, clear, green, orange, purple, red and yellow, with the color in the anodized aluminum body itself. If you prefer color from a covering rather than an anodized finish, the ABUS 76/40 is a plastic-covered aluminum core padlock with a 1/4 inch shackle diameter 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. Both carry a smaller shackle than the 5/16 inch on the A1266KZ.
14) What padlock alternatives use a high-security key system rather than the American Lock A1266KZ standard cylinder?
The A1266KZ uses a 6-pin rekeyable APTC14 cylinder shipped zero-bitted. If your facility runs a patented or high-security key system, the Medeco 5260 is a 52 Series brass body padlock with a 7/16 inch shackle diameter and M3 key technology in satin chrome, and the Sargent 82-856 is a non-key-retaining KESO Series padlock with a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case and stainless steel shackle. Note the Medeco 5260 shackle is larger than the 5/16 inch on the American Lock, so confirm your hasp opening.
15) Is the Medeco 54515G an equivalent to the American Lock A1266KZ for an outdoor gate?
They share a 5/16 inch shackle diameter but work very differently. The Medeco 54515G is an XT electronic indoor/outdoor padlock, non-key-retaining, supplied with a cylinder - it belongs in an audited electronic access program. The A1266KZ is a mechanical padlock with a solid aluminum body, 1-3/4 inch wide, on a zero-bitted rekeyable cylinder. Choose the American Lock if the gate is keyed off your existing mechanical system and no electronic credentialing is involved.
16) How many American Lock A1266 padlocks come in a case?
They pack 6 per shelf pack and 24 to a master carton. Useful if you are standardizing a facility and want to buy in even case quantities rather than singles.
