American Lock AME-A1305UN BLU 2KEY – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does "uncombinated" mean on the American Lock A1305UN padlock, and will it arrive ready to use?
Uncombinated means the A1305UN ships without a key combination set in the cylinder. It is not a working lock out of the box. A locksmith or an in-house key shop combinates the 5-pin APTC12 rekeyable cylinder to your own keyway and bitting, then cuts keys to match. That is why you can order it with 0 keys per lock. If you want a lock that works the moment it lands, order the keyed-different, keyed-alike, or master-keyed version of the same 2 inch aluminum body instead.
2) Will an American Lock A1305 padlock shackle fit through my hasp? What are the shackle dimensions?
The shackle is 3/8 inch diameter, 1-1/8 inch clearance under the crossbar, and 3/4 inch between the shackle legs. Those three numbers decide it: your hasp staple has to accept a 3/8 inch shank, the material you are locking through cannot stack more than 1-1/8 inch, and the hasp loop has to fit inside a 3/4 inch span. On a standard heavy hasp that is fine. On a thick gate chain or a doubled-up hasp it is not, and you want a longer shackle version.
3) I need padlocks that take our small format interchangeable core. Does the American Lock A1305 work, or do I need something else?
No. The A1305 uses a fixed 5-pin APTC12 rekeyable cylinder, so it is rekeyed by pinning, not by swapping a core out with a control key. If your facility standardizes on removable cores, the Sargent 60-858-2 removable core padlock is the one to look at, with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle. Sargent also lists the 758 as key retaining and the 858 as non-key retaining, both with stainless shackles in US4 satin brass.
4) What is the closest equivalent to an American Lock A1305UN if I need a stainless steel body instead of aluminum?
The American Lock A1305UN has a 2 inch wide solid aluminum body with a 3/8 inch diameter shackle. Where an aluminum body is not wanted, the Medeco 521 G8R is a weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body, supplied less pop-out cylinder. The Sargent 60-858-2 also pairs a stainless steel shackle with a removable core, and its shackle is 2 inches. The A1305UN carries its own 5-pin rekeyable cylinder and a 1-1/8 inch shackle length, so the two are set up differently at the cylinder as well as the body material.
5) I need a color-coded aluminum lockout padlock but the 2 inch body is too big for my hasp - what else works?
The American Lock A1305UN is a 2 inch wide aluminum body padlock with a 3/8 inch shackle diameter and 3/4 inch shackle width, and it comes in blue, brown, red and yellow lockbody colors. For a narrower hasp, 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 ABUS 76/40 is a plastic-covered aluminum core padlock at 1 37/64 inch width with a 1/4 inch shackle diameter. Both sit under the A1305UN on body width and shackle diameter, so confirm the hasp staple against the smaller shackle before ordering.
6) Can I use a Sargent 758 in place of an American Lock A1305UN on a keyed-alike gate program?
They are keyed and retained differently. The Sargent 758 is a key retaining padlock, meaning the key cannot be withdrawn while the lock is open, and it is finished US4 satin brass. The Sargent 858 is the non-key-retaining version with a stainless steel shackle in the same US4 satin brass finish. The American Lock A1305UN ships uncombinated with a 5-pin APTC12 rekeyable cylinder, so it is pinned to your own bitting rather than to a factory key. If your gate crew needs to carry the key away with the lock open, the 858 or the A1305UN suits; the 758 does not.
7) I need a padlock that takes an interchangeable core instead of being rekeyed by pinning - what replaces the A1305UN?
The Sargent 60-858-2 is a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle, so the core is pulled with a control key rather than the lock being taken apart to repin. The American Lock A1305UN instead carries a rekeyable 5-pin APTC12 cylinder and ships uncombinated, which means a locksmith pins it to your bitting at setup. Facilities that rotate keying by swapping cores across many openings usually specify the removable core version; facilities keying a batch once at receiving use the uncombinated lock.
8) Can I get American Lock A1305 padlocks in different colors to separate departments or crews?
Four body colors are offered: blue, brown, red, and yellow. Color-coding is the usual reason people buy them that way, one color per trade, per building, or per crew, so a lock on the wrong gate is obvious at a glance. The colors are anodized into the aluminum body rather than painted on, so they hold up outdoors. Model suffixes run A1305UNBLU, A1305UNBRN, A1305UNRED, and A1305UNYLW.
9) Should I buy an uncombinated padlock or a zero-bitted one for setting up my own key system?
Both let you key the lock yourself, and they are not the same starting point. Uncombinated (A1305UN) comes with no pinning in the cylinder at all, so you build the combination from scratch in your own keyway. Zero-bitted (A1305KZ) comes pinned to an all-zeros cut, so it opens on a factory zero key and you rekey from there. Shops running an established American Lock system on Edge key control usually take the uncombinated. A property manager who just wants to set two or three locks to one key usually finds zero-bitted quicker. The 2 inch aluminum body and 1-1/8 inch shackle are the same on both.
10) Can I order American Lock padlocks with a chain attached so they don't get lost or walked off?
Yes. Every color and key count can be ordered with a #40 sash chain, 9 inches long, zinc plated, or with no chain at all. The chain tethers the lock to the hasp or the door frame so it is not set down on a shelf and lost, which is why fleets and self-storage operators specify it. If you already have your own cable or tether, order the NONE chain option.
11) How many keys come with an American Lock A1305 padlock, and can I order extras?
Key count is something you pick, not something fixed. The standard is 2 keys per lock, and 0, 1, 3, or 4 per lock are all orderable. Zero makes sense on the uncombinated version, since you are cutting your own keys anyway. Three or four is what a property manager takes when the same lock has to be opened by a super, a maintenance tech, and a contractor without anybody borrowing.
12) What is the difference between the American Lock A1305, A1306, and A1307?
Same 2 inch wide solid aluminum body across all three, with the shackle height being what separates them. The A1305 has the 1-1/8 inch shackle, the shortest of the three, which is the one you want where a short shank means less to get a bolt cutter or a pry bar onto. Step up to the A1306 or A1307 when you need more clearance to get through a thick hasp, a chain link, or a gate latch. Each of the three comes uncombinated, zero-bitted, keyed different, keyed alike, and master keyed.
13) I need a padlock for a coastal or washdown site. Is aluminum the right call, or should I use stainless or brass?
Aluminum with a black anodized finish handles weather and washdown well and will not rust, which is why the A1305 gets specified for outdoor and plant use. Where you are on salt air or under constant spray, a solid body in a different material is worth looking at: the Medeco 521 G8R is a weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body, supplied less the pop-out cylinder. The ABUS T84MB/30 Nautic is built for marine use, 1 17/64 inch body with a 13/64 inch shackle, though that is a much lighter lock than the 2 inch A1305.
14) What padlock should I use instead of an American Lock A1305UN if the facility is standardizing on electronic audit-trail keys?
The A1305UN uses a mechanical 5-pin APTC12 rekeyable cylinder, so it has no electronic credential. The Medeco 54515G is an XT electronic indoor/outdoor padlock with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter, supplied with cylinder, and it is non-key retaining. The Sargent 82-856 is a KESO Series non-key-retaining padlock with a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case and a stainless steel shackle if the standard is a high-security mechanical system rather than an electronic one.
15) Is the ABUS 74/40 a substitute for the American Lock A1305UN on outdoor equipment?
They are built for different exposures. 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. The American Lock A1305UN is a 2 inch wide solid aluminum body with a black anodized finish and a 3/8 inch diameter boron alloy steel shackle, rated commercial. The 74/40's insulation is aimed at electrical isolation rather than at a heavier shackle, so it is not a like-for-like swap where cut resistance is the reason for the lock.
16) What is a brass body alternative to the American Lock A1305UN 2 inch aluminum padlock?
The Medeco 5260 is a 52 Series brass body padlock with a 7/16 inch shackle diameter and M3 key technology in satin chrome. The Schlage KS23D/KS23F is a brass padlock with a 5/16 inch diameter shackle. Against those, the American Lock A1305UN is a solid aluminum body 2 inches wide with a 3/8 inch shackle diameter, so the three sit at different shackle diameters and the hasp opening decides which will pass through.
17) Is the American Lock A1305 padlock rated for commercial use or is it a residential lock?
Commercial. American Lock puts the A1305 at self-storage units and lockers, manufacturing environments, and harsh outdoor conditions, and the build follows: solid aluminum body, boron alloy steel shackle, dual ball bearing locking mechanism against pulling and prying, and a pick-resistant 5-pin cylinder with tens of thousands of key changes. That key change depth is what makes it workable as a facility-wide keyed system rather than a handful of one-off locks.
18) How do American Lock A1305 padlocks ship for a bulk order across a property portfolio?
Packing is 6 to a shelf pack and 24 to a master carton. If you are standardizing gates or storage units across a portfolio, order in multiples of 24 and the cartons land intact for distribution to each site, or take shelf packs of 6 when you are splitting a color per building.
19) Can I laser engrave or custom mark American Lock A1305 padlocks with our door numbers or company name?
Yes, laser engraving and custom marking are offered on the A1305. Property managers use it to stamp unit or gate numbers on the body so a lock returned to the shop goes back to the right opening, and facilities put the company name on to keep contractor locks from disappearing into a truck. It pairs well with the four body colors when you are coding by building or by trade.
20) Is the ABUS T84MB/30 a lighter-duty option than the American Lock A1305UN?
The ABUS T84MB/30 Nautic is a black sleeve padlock with a 13/64 inch shackle diameter and a 1 17/64 inch body width, sold in a 3-pack. The American Lock A1305UN is a 2 inch wide solid aluminum body with a 3/8 inch shackle diameter and a 3/4 inch shackle width. The T84MB/30 is the smaller body and the thinner shackle of the two, which matters where the hasp staple is sized for a heavier shackle and the smaller lock would leave slack in the opening.
