American Lock AME-A1306KZ BLU 2KEY – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does zero-bitted mean on the American Lock A1306KZ padlock, and do I need a key machine to use it?
Zero-bitted means the A1306KZ ships with the cylinder pinned to all-zero cuts, so it is not usable as delivered until you key it. A locksmith or a facility shop pins the 5-pin APTC12 rekeyable cylinder to whatever bitting the site uses, cuts keys to match, and the lock joins the existing system. If you don't have pinning capability in house, order a factory keying option instead: American Lock offers the same 2 inch aluminum body as A1306KD keyed different, A1306KA keyed alike, A1306MK master keyed, and A1306KAMK keyed alike and master keyed.
2) My facility runs interchangeable cores. Will the A1306KZ accept one?
No. The A1306KZ is built around a 5-pin APTC12 rekeyable cylinder, which you re-pin rather than swap out as a core. For a padlock that takes a removable core and stays on the same core system as the rest of your doors, the Sargent 60-858-2 is a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle.
3) For lockout tagout, is the ABUS 72/30 a substitute for the American Lock A1306KZ?
They are different sizes. 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 personal lockout on a device. The American Lock A1306KZ has a 2 inch wide solid aluminum body and a 3/8 inch shackle with a 2 inch clearance, so it fits heavier hasps and gates. If your lockout procedure calls for a light, thin-shackle lock that passes through small lockout devices, the 72/30 is the closer fit; for gates, self-storage units and outdoor hasps, the A1306KZ shackle is the one that will pass.
4) Our campus is standardized on a Medeco or Sargent key system - can the A1306KZ be keyed into it?
The A1306KZ ships zero-bitted with a rekeyable 5-pin APTC12 cylinder, which is an American Lock keyway that a locksmith bits to your American Lock system, not to another manufacturer's. If the site key system is Medeco, the Medeco 5260 brass body padlock with a 7/16 inch shackle diameter uses M3 key technology, and the Medeco 54515G is an XT electronic indoor/outdoor padlock with a 5/16 inch shackle. On a Sargent system, the 758 is key retaining and the 858 is non-key retaining, both with stainless steel shackles, and the 82-856 is a non-key-retaining KESO padlock with a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case. Spec the padlock to the key system already in place.
5) How many keys come with the American Lock A1306KZ, and can I order it with no keys at all?
Key count is something you pick on the order. The A1306KZ can be ordered with 0, 1, 2 (the standard), 3, or 4 keys per lock. The zero-key option exists because a zero-bitted lock is normally keyed in your own shop to your existing system, so factory keys would just be scrap.
6) I need color-coded padlocks for departments or lockout stations. What colors does the A1306KZ come in?
Four anodized body colors are orderable: blue, brown, red, and yellow. Property managers and plant maintenance groups use the colors to separate departments, buildings, or crews at a glance while every lock still runs on the same keying scheme. The corresponding catalog numbers are A1306KZBLU, A1306KZBRN, A1306KZRED, and A1306KZYLW.
7) Can I get this padlock with a chain attached so it doesn't get lost?
Yes. Alongside the plain lock, the A1306KZ is offered with a #40 sash chain, 9 inches (229mm) long, zinc plated. That is the common setup for gates, electrical panels, and self-storage doors where you want the lock tethered to the fixture instead of sitting in someone's pocket. Chain is available with every body color and every key count.
8) What is the difference between the American Lock A1305, A1306, and A1307?
All three share the same 2 inch wide solid aluminum body and differ in shackle height. The A1306 carries a 2 inch tall shackle, which is the mid length and the one to use when you need clearance through a gate chain or a thicker hasp. The A1305 is the shorter-shackle version and the A1307 the longer. Each of the three is sold in the full range of keying setups: keyed different, keyed alike, master keyed, uncombinated, and zero-bitted.
9) What are the alternatives if I need a padlock that ships ready to use instead of zero-bitted?
If in-house pinning isn't an option, look at a factory-keyed padlock. From other brands ZenSupply carries, the Sargent 758 is a key retaining standard padlock in US4 satin brass and the Sargent 858 is the non-key-retaining version with a stainless steel shackle. The Schlage KS23D/KS23F is a brass body padlock with a 5/16 inch shackle, and the Medeco 5260 is a 52 Series brass body lock with a 7/16 inch shackle on M3 key technology. All are heavier metal bodies than the A1306KZ's aluminum, which matters if corrosion resistance outdoors is the driver.
10) What should I use instead of the A1306KZ on a marine or salt-air application?
For salt exposure, the Medeco 521 G8R weather-tight padlock uses a solid stainless steel body, and the ABUS T84MB/30 Nautic is a sleeved padlock with a 13/64 inch shackle diameter and a 1-17/64 inch body sold in sets of three. The American Lock A1306KZ answers harsh outdoor conditions with a solid aluminum body and black anodized finish over a boron alloy shackle, which suits weather and manufacturing environments; where the spec explicitly calls for stainless in a coastal setting, the Medeco 521 G8R body material is the direct answer.
11) Is the Schlage KS23D a direct replacement for an American Lock A1306KZ?
No. The Schlage KS23D/KS23F is a brass padlock with a 5/16 inch diameter shackle, while the A1306KZ is a 2 inch wide solid aluminum body with a 3/8 inch shackle. The larger shackle diameter means an A1306KZ will not pass through a hasp drilled for the Schlage, and the Schlage will sit loose in a hasp sized for the A1306KZ. Check the hasp opening before swapping either direction.
12) Which padlock keeps the key captive while the lock is open, and does the A1306KZ do that?
Key retention is a Sargent distinction in this group: the Sargent 758 is a key retaining padlock in US4 satin brass, while the Sargent 858 and the 82-856 are non-key retaining, as is the Medeco 54515G XT. Key retaining locks are specified where a lock must never be walked off with an open shackle. The American Lock A1306KZ is a zero-bitted rekeyable aluminum padlock and is selected instead for color-coded identification across departments, since the 2 inch aluminum body comes in blue, brown, red and yellow.
13) How does the A1306KZ resist prying and picking compared to a basic padlock?
Two things do the work. A dual ball bearing locking mechanism grips the shackle on both legs, which resists pulling and prying attacks on the shackle. The 5-pin APTC12 cylinder is pick resistant and carries tens of thousands of key changes, so a large facility can build a real keying system on it rather than running out of differs.
14) I'm buying padlocks by the case for a facility. How does the A1306KZ pack?
Shelf packs are 6 locks and the master carton holds 24. That sizing suits MRO and property management buyers standardizing a building or a storage row, where you want a case of identical bodies to pin to one system.
