American Lock AME-A1306MK BLU 2KEY – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the MK suffix mean on the American Lock A1306MK padlock?
MK means the locks ship keyed different but under a master key system, so each padlock has its own change key and a single master key opens the whole group. That is how you set up a maintenance crew with one key while each tenant or department keeps a unique key. If you want every lock to share the same change key AND sit under a master, order the A1306KAMK instead. Straight keyed different with no master is the A1306 (A1306KD), and A1306KZ is zero bitted for pinning in your own shop.
2) Will a 3/8 inch shackle American Lock A1306MK fit through a standard hasp or chain link gate?
The shackle is 3/8 inch diameter with a 3/4 inch clearance between the legs and 2 inches of vertical clearance, on a 2 inch wide body. Measure the hasp eye or gate chain link: anything with less than 3/4 inch of horizontal opening will not take it. The 2 inch shackle height gives plenty of room for a doubled chain or a thick hasp staple.
3) Can the A1306MK be rekeyed into an existing key system?
Yes. It uses a 5-pin APTC12 rekeyable cylinder, pick resistant, with tens of thousands of key changes available, so a locksmith can pin it to your system rather than treating it as a throwaway lock. If you want it shipped unpinned for in-house work, the zero-bitted A1306KZ or uncombinated A1306UN versions of the same body are the ones to order.
4) What is the closest aluminum-body padlock to the American Lock A1306MK if I need a colored safety lock but a smaller body?
The A1306MK has a 2 inch wide solid aluminum body with a 3/8 inch diameter shackle. If the application calls for a narrower aluminum body, 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, and the ABUS 76/40 is a plastic-covered aluminum core padlock with a 1/4 inch shackle diameter and a 1-37/64 inch width. Both are lighter-duty shackle diameters than the 3/8 inch boron shackle on the A1306MK, so confirm the hasp opening and the cut resistance you need before swapping.
5) We run an interchangeable core system - is the A1306MK the right padlock or should I look at a removable core model?
The A1306MK uses a rekeyable 5-pin APTC12 cylinder and is supplied keyed different under a master key. If your facility standardizes on small format interchangeable cores instead, the Sargent 60-858-2 is a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle, which lets your locksmith drop in a core from the existing system rather than pinning the padlock cylinder itself. The A1306MK matches the Sargent on 2 inch shackle length.
6) The A1306MK is aluminum - what do I use instead on a marine or washdown application?
The A1306MK body is solid aluminum with a black anodized finish and a boron alloy steel shackle. Where the opening sees salt spray or constant wetting, the Medeco 521 G8R is a weather-tight padlock with 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 width. The G8R 521 is supplied less pop-out cylinder, so the cylinder is ordered separately rather than arriving rekeyable like the A1306MK.
7) What is the difference between the American Lock A1305, A1306 and A1307 aluminum padlocks?
They are the same 2 inch wide solid aluminum body and differ in shackle height. The A1306 carries a 2 inch tall, 3/8 inch diameter boron alloy shackle. The A1305 and A1307 are the shorter and taller shackle versions of the same body. Pick by how much material the shackle has to reach through: a thick hasp, a doubled chain, or a gate latch needs the taller shackle.
8) Can I color code padlocks by crew or department with the A1306MK?
Yes. The A1306MK body comes in blue, brown, red and yellow anodized aluminum, so you can assign a color per trade, per building, or per lockout crew while still keeping every lock on the same master key system. Color choice does not change the lock body size or the shackle.
9) How many keys come with each American Lock A1306MK padlock?
Standard is 2 keys per lock. You can also order 1, 3 or 4 keys per lock, or 0 keys per lock if your locksmith is supplying keys from an existing system. Order the key count deliberately on a master keyed job, since extra change keys later mean going back through the system records.
10) Can I get the A1306MK padlock with a chain attached?
Yes. Each configuration is available with no chain, or with a #40 sash chain, 9 inches long, zinc plated. The chained version is the common pick for lockers, self storage doors and equipment where the lock needs to stay tethered to the opening instead of going in someone's pocket.
11) Is the American Lock A1306MK rated for outdoor gates and harsh environments?
It is built for it. Solid aluminum body with a black anodized finish for weather and abuse, and a boron alloy steel shackle for cut resistance. American Lock calls out harsh outdoor conditions, manufacturing environments, and self storage units and lockers as the intended uses. It is a commercial-duty lock, not a residential one.
12) What are the alternatives if I need a stainless or brass body padlock instead of aluminum?
The A1306MK is a solid aluminum body. If your spec calls for a different material, the Sargent 858 is a non-key-retaining padlock with a stainless steel shackle in US4 satin brass, the Sargent 60-858-2 uses a removable core with a 2 inch stainless shackle, and the Medeco 521 G8R is a weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body. For a brass body with a heavier 7/16 inch shackle, the Medeco 5260 is the one to look at.
13) Is the American Lock A1306MK a good lockout/tagout safety padlock?
It is a keyed aluminum padlock intended for security duty in manufacturing and outdoor settings, with a 3/8 inch boron shackle that resists cutting. Dedicated LOTO safety locks are typically lighter and non-conductive. For that job the ABUS 72/30 anodized aluminum safety padlock with a 1-1/4 inch body and 3/16 inch shackle, the insulated ABUS 74/40 with a 6-pin cylinder, or the plastic-covered aluminum core ABUS 76/40 are the purpose-built options.
14) What padlock should I look at instead of the A1306MK if I need audit trail or electronic access control?
The A1306MK is a mechanical rekeyable padlock with a 5-pin APTC12 cylinder and no electronics. For openings that need electronic credentials, the Medeco 54515G XT is an electronic indoor/outdoor padlock, non-key retaining, with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter and cylinder included. That is a different key system entirely, so it will not master key with the A1306MK.
15) I need a padlock with a heavier shackle than the A1306MK - what are my options?
The A1306MK carries a 3/8 inch diameter boron alloy shackle. If the hasp accepts more, the Medeco 5260 is a 52 Series brass body padlock with a 7/16 inch shackle diameter and M3 key technology in a satin chrome finish. Check the hasp eye before ordering, since a 7/16 inch shackle will not pass through a hasp drilled for 3/8 inch.
16) For electrical lockout tagout, is the A1306MK equivalent to an ABUS 74/40?
They serve the job differently. The A1306MK is a solid aluminum body padlock with a metal shackle and no dielectric barrier. 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 insulation is what electrical crews specify for live work. The A1306MK does offer blue, brown, red and yellow bodies for color-coded lockout assignment and is keyed different under a master key so a supervisor key can be held.
17) What is the difference between the A1306MK and a Schlage KS23 padlock for a facility already on Schlage keyways?
The Schlage KS23D/KS23F is a brass padlock with a 5/16 inch diameter shackle in the Schlage 20 Series, which is the route if you want the padlocks pinned into an existing Schlage system. The A1306MK is a 2 inch wide solid aluminum body padlock with a 3/8 inch boron shackle on the American Lock APTC12 rekeyable cylinder, so it keys to an American Lock system rather than a Schlage one.
18) Our spec calls for a high-security key system - does the A1306MK meet that or do I need a different padlock?
The A1306MK uses a pick-resistant 5-pin APTC12 rekeyable cylinder with Edge key control as the American Lock option. If the specification calls for a patented high-security key system, the Sargent 82-856 is a non-key-retaining padlock on the KESO system with a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case and stainless steel shackle, and the Medeco 5260 uses M3 key technology. Both are separate key systems from the American Lock cylinder, so they cannot be master keyed together with the A1306MK.
19) How many American Lock A1306MK padlocks come in a case?
Shelf pack is 6 and the master carton holds 24. Useful if you are standardizing a facility or a storage site and buying in round quantities.
20) Does the A1306MK resist someone prying or pulling the shackle out?
The locking mechanism uses dual ball bearings engaging the shackle, which is what resists pulling and prying attacks at the heel and toe. Combined with the boron alloy shackle for cut resistance, that is the pairing that matters on an exposed gate or storage unit where the lock is the only thing in the attacker's way.
