American Lock AME-A1306KAMK BLU 2KEY – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does "keyed alike master keyed" mean on the American Lock A1306KAMK, and what do I have to supply when ordering?
The A1306KAMK ships keyed alike, meaning every lock on the order opens with the same change key, and it is also set up under a master key so a supervisor key opens the whole group. Because of that, the order asks for a key code so the locks are cut to your existing system rather than a random bitting. If you want each lock on its own key under a master instead, that is the A1306MK; plain keyed alike with no master is the A1306KA.
2) Can I rekey these padlocks myself or do I have to send them out?
The A1306 uses a rekeyable 5-pin APTC12 cylinder, so a locksmith can repin it in the shop to your system rather than replacing the lock. The cylinder is pick resistant and offers tens of thousands of key changes, which is what makes it practical to fold into an existing masterkeyed facility system.
3) I need a padlock that runs on my existing Sargent or Schlage key system instead of American Lock. What are my options?
The A1306 is rekeyable to American Lock's own 5-pin APTC12 cylinder, so it will not accept another manufacturer's key without going to that brand's lock. If the facility is on Sargent, the Sargent 758 is key retaining and the 858 is non-key retaining, and the 60-858-2 is the removable core version with a 2 inch stainless shackle, which lets you drop in your own SFIC. On Schlage, the KS23D/KS23F is a brass body padlock with a 5/16 inch shackle.
4) Is the American Lock A1306 a lockout/tagout safety padlock?
No. The A1306 is a commercial security padlock with a boron shackle and a masterkeyed cylinder, which is the opposite of what lockout/tagout wants, since LOTO locks are deliberately keyed different with no master. For safety lockout look at the ABUS 72/30 anodized aluminum safety padlock with a 1-1/4 inch body and 3/16 inch shackle, the ABUS 74/40 insulated safety padlock with a 6-pin cylinder, or the ABUS 76/40 plastic-covered aluminum core lock.
5) For wet or coastal outdoor service, what should be used instead of the A1306KAMK?
The A1306KAMK is an aluminum body padlock listed for harsh outdoor conditions with a black anodized finish. Where a sealed or marine-grade lock is preferred, 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 a 1-17/64 inch body with a 13/64 inch shackle diameter. The Medeco 521 needs a cylinder specified separately; the ABUS T84MB/30 is a much smaller body than the 2 inch American Lock.
6) What padlock has a similar 2 inch shackle if the American Lock A1306KAMK aluminum body is not wanted?
The American Lock A1306KAMK has a 2 inch shackle length on a 2 inch wide solid aluminum body. For the same 2 inch shackle length in stainless steel, the Sargent 60-858-2 is a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle. That swaps the aluminum body for a removable-core platform, so keying is handled by the core rather than by a rekeyable 5-pin cylinder in the lock body.
7) Is there a brass body padlock equivalent to the American Lock A1306KAMK?
The A1306KAMK body is solid aluminum, 2 inches wide, with a 3/8 inch shackle diameter. Brass body alternatives include the Sargent 82-856, a non-key-retaining padlock with a 2 by 2 inch brass case and stainless steel shackle, and the Medeco 5260, a 52 Series brass body padlock with a 7/16 inch shackle diameter and M3 key technology in satin chrome. The Sargent 82-856 matches the 2 inch body width; the Medeco 5260 carries a heavier shackle diameter than the American Lock.
8) Can an ABUS 72/30 aluminum padlock be used in place of the American Lock A1306KAMK?
Both are anodized aluminum bodies, but they are different sizes. The A1306KAMK is 2 inches wide with a 3/8 inch shackle diameter, while the ABUS 72/30 safety padlock is 1-1/4 inches wide with a 3/16 inch shackle diameter. The narrower ABUS shackle passes through smaller hasps and lockout devices; the American Lock needs a hasp opening that accepts 3/8 inch.
9) Is an aluminum padlock body strong enough for outdoor gates and yard use?
The A1306 body is solid aluminum with a black anodized finish, which is what makes it suited to wet and corrosive outdoor exposure without the rust you get from a plated steel body. Cut resistance comes from the shackle, not the body: it is 3/8 inch boron alloy steel. A dual ball bearing locking mechanism holds the shackle against pulling and prying. American Lock calls out self-storage and lockers, harsh outdoor conditions, and manufacturing environments for it.
10) What color body options does the American Lock A1306KAMK come in, and can I use color to separate departments?
Four anodized body colors are orderable: blue, brown, red, and yellow. Property managers and plant maintenance groups commonly use the color to split a keyed alike group by building, trade, or department while keeping one master over all of them. Color is an ordering choice, not a security difference, and every color carries the same 2 inch aluminum body and 3/8 inch shackle.
11) How many keys come with each American Lock A1306 padlock, and can I get extras?
Standard 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 the keys are being cut and issued centrally out of your own key room. On a keyed alike group, fewer keys per lock is usually the right call since one key runs the whole set.
12) Can I get the American Lock A1306 with a chain so the padlock stays attached to the gate?
Yes. Each configuration is orderable either with no chain or with a #40 sash chain, 9 inches (229mm) long, zinc plated. The chain version keeps the lock tethered to the hasp or gate post so it does not walk off or get dropped in the gravel, which is why fleet yards and self-storage operators spec it.
13) What is the difference between the American Lock A1305, A1306, and A1307?
All three are the same 2 inch wide solid aluminum rekeyable padlock family, and they differ by shackle. The A1306 carries a 2 inch shackle length at 3/8 inch diameter. The A1305 and A1307 are the shorter and longer shackle versions of the same body. Pick by how much hasp or chain you need to pass through; the body, cylinder, and colors carry across.
14) I want higher key control than a standard pin cylinder. What else could I look at?
The A1306 uses American Lock's rekeyable 5-pin APTC12 cylinder, and American Lock offers Edge key control along with laser engraving and custom marking for asset tracking. If you need patented key control at the cylinder, the Medeco 5260 is a 52 Series brass body padlock with a 7/16 inch shackle and M3 key technology, and the Sargent 82-856 is a non-key-retaining KESO padlock with a 2 x 2 inch brass case and stainless shackle. For audit trail rather than mechanical key control, the Medeco 54515G XT is an electronic indoor/outdoor padlock with a 5/16 inch shackle.
15) Which padlocks look like color-coded alternatives to the American Lock A1306KAMK but are built differently?
The A1306KAMK comes in blue, brown, red and yellow lockbody colors, which is how many crews color-code by trade or by tenant. Two color-coded peers are built differently: 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 diameter and 1-1/2 inch body width. Both use a covered or insulated body rather than the American Lock's exposed anodized aluminum, and both run a smaller shackle diameter.
16) If the key must stay captive in the lock while it is open, is the A1306KAMK the right choice?
The A1306KAMK is a rekeyable 5-pin APTC12 cylinder padlock and is ordered keyed alike under a master key. If key retention is the deciding feature, the Sargent 758 is a key retaining standard padlock in US4 satin brass, while the Sargent 858 is the non-key-retaining version with a stainless steel shackle in the same US4 satin brass finish. Choose the 758 where the key cannot be walked away with and the 858 where it must be removable.
17) Is there an electronic padlock alternative to the master keyed American Lock A1306KAMK?
The A1306KAMK handles access with a mechanical master key system and a rekeyable cylinder. Where audit trail or credential-based access is wanted instead, the Medeco 54515G XT is an electronic indoor/outdoor padlock, non-key retaining, with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter and supplied with cylinder. It moves key control from pinning to electronic credentials and uses a smaller shackle than the 3/8 inch on the American Lock.
18) What is a simpler brass padlock option if master keying is not needed?
The A1306KAMK is supplied keyed alike within a master key system, which requires a key code at order. For a straightforward keyed padlock without that setup, the Schlage KS23D/KS23F is a brass padlock with a 5/16 inch diameter shackle. It is brass rather than the American Lock's solid aluminum body and uses a 5/16 inch shackle against the American Lock's 3/8 inch.
19) What is the case pack quantity on American Lock A1306 padlocks for a bulk facility order?
They pack 6 per shelf pack and 24 to a master carton, so large keyed alike rollouts order cleanly in multiples of 24.
