American Lock AME-A1307KZ BLU 2KEY – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does "zero-bitted" mean on the American Lock A1307KZ padlock, and do I need my own key machine?
Zero-bitted means the A1307KZ ships with its cylinder pinned to all-zero cuts, so a locksmith rekeys it on site to whatever key system the building runs. You need pinning kits and a key machine (or a keying service) to put it into service. If you want locks that arrive ready to use, order the keyed-different, keyed-alike or master-keyed versions of the same lock instead: A1307 (A1307KD), A1307KA, A1307MK or A1307KAMK.
2) Will the A1307KZ padlock fit through a standard hasp opening?
Check two numbers. The shackle is 3/8 inch in diameter, so the hasp eye has to clear that, and the clearance between the shackle legs is 3/4 inch, which is what limits how thick a hasp staple or chain link you can capture. Body width is 2 inches and shackle length is 3 inches, giving plenty of vertical reach on gates and lockers.
3) Is the A1307KZ a lockout/tagout safety padlock?
No. The A1307KZ is a solid body commercial security padlock with a 3/8 inch boron shackle, sold zero-bitted for keying into a facility system. For lockout/tagout you want a dedicated safety padlock with a light non-conductive or aluminum body and a thin shackle, such as the ABUS 72/30 anodized aluminum safety padlock (1-1/4 inch body, 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 padlock.
4) What padlock works instead of the American Lock A1307KZ when the facility keys everything on removable cores?
The A1307KZ uses a rekeyable 5-pin APTC12 cylinder in a 2 inch wide solid aluminum body. If the site standardizes on interchangeable/removable core keying, the Sargent 60-858-2 removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle lets the padlock join the same core system as the doors, rather than being pinned separately.
5) Which padlock should I use instead of the American Lock A1307KZ for a wet or coastal exterior application?
The A1307KZ has a solid aluminum body with a black anodized finish and a boron alloy steel shackle, intended for harsh outdoor conditions. If the opening is salt-air or continuously wet, the Medeco 521 G8R weather-tight padlock uses a solid stainless steel body, and the ABUS T84MB/30 Nautic is built for marine use with a 13/64 inch shackle diameter and a 1-17/64 inch body width.
6) Is an ABUS 72/30 safety padlock a substitute for the American Lock A1307KZ?
They are different tools. The A1307KZ is a 2 inch wide solid aluminum body with a 3/8 inch diameter, 3 inch tall shackle - a security padlock. 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, sized for lockout/tagout on energy isolation points rather than for cut resistance on a gate or storage unit.
7) We want audit trail and scheduled access on padlocks instead of mechanical keys - what replaces the American Lock A1307KZ?
The A1307KZ is a mechanical rekeyable padlock keyed with a 5-pin APTC12 cylinder. For electronic credential control on indoor and outdoor points, the Medeco 54515G XT electronic padlock is non-key-retaining with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter and ships with a cylinder. It changes how access is granted and revoked rather than how the lock mounts.
8) Can I get the A1307KZ aluminum padlock in colors for color-coding departments or crews?
Yes. The 2 inch solid aluminum body comes in blue, brown, red and yellow, which is how most shops split locks by trade, building or shift. The matching catalog numbers are A1307KZBLU, A1307KZBRN, A1307KZRED and A1307KZYLW.
9) Does the A1307KZ come with a chain to keep the lock attached to the door or gate?
It can. Each A1307KZ configuration is offered either with no chain or with a #40 sash chain, 9 inches (229mm) long, zinc plated. The chain version is the one to pick for self-storage doors and gates where an unattached padlock walks off.
10) How many keys come with each American Lock A1307KZ padlock?
Key count is something you specify. Options run 0, 1, 2 (the standard), 3 or 4 keys per lock. Since the lock is zero-bitted and gets cut to your system anyway, many locksmiths order it with 0 keys and supply blanks from their own stock.
11) Is an aluminum padlock strong enough for outdoor gates, or should I use steel?
The A1307KZ pairs a solid aluminum body with a boron alloy steel shackle, so the cutting-resistant part is steel while the body stays corrosion resistant outdoors. A black anodized finish and a dual ball bearing locking mechanism that resists pulling and prying round it out. It is built for commercial use, typical spots being self-storage units and lockers, harsh outdoor conditions and manufacturing environments.
12) What cylinder does the A1307KZ use, and how many key changes can I get out of it?
It uses American Lock's rekeyable 5-pin APTC12 cylinder, described as pick resistant with tens of thousands of key changes. That is what makes it workable as a master-keyed padlock across a large property, and it is the same cylinder platform across the A1305, A1306 and A1307 aluminum bodies, so you can standardize keying while varying shackle length.
13) What is the difference between the American Lock A1305, A1306 and A1307 aluminum padlocks?
All three share the 2 inch (51mm) wide solid aluminum rekeyable body; they differ by shackle. The A1307KZ carries a 3 inch shackle, the tallest of the three, which is what you want when a hasp, chain or gate fitting needs extra clearance. If the shackle sits proud and invites bolt cutters on your application, step down to the A1306 or A1305 version of the same lock.
14) What else could I use instead of the American Lock A1307KZ if I need a non-aluminum body?
A few directions, depending on why aluminum does not suit. For a brass body, the Sargent 758 (key retaining) and Sargent 858 (non-key retaining) padlocks come in US4 satin brass, and the Schlage KS23D/KS23F brass padlock uses a 5/16 inch shackle. For stainless, the Medeco 521 G8R is a weather-tight solid stainless steel body. If you need interchangeable core rather than rekeying pins, the Sargent 60-858-2 is a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless shackle. All are smaller-diameter shackles than the A1307KZ's 3/8 inch, so confirm your hasp before switching.
15) I need color-coded padlocks for lockout or crew assignment - how does the American Lock A1307KZ compare to ABUS color-body options?
The A1307KZ aluminum body is offered in blue, brown, red and yellow, so crews or departments can be separated by body color while keeping one 2 inch aluminum platform. The ABUS 76/40 takes a different approach, wrapping an aluminum core in a plastic cover, with a 1/4 inch shackle diameter and a 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.
16) Which padlock has a heavier shackle than the American Lock A1307KZ?
The A1307KZ uses a 3/8 inch diameter boron alloy steel shackle, 3 inches tall. If you want more shackle section, the Medeco 5260 in the 52 Series has a brass body and a 7/16 inch shackle diameter with M3 key technology in satin chrome. The heavier shackle requires a hasp with a larger throat, so check the hasp before switching.
17) The American Lock A1307KZ is zero-bitted so I pin it myself - what do I order if I would rather the lock arrive on an existing high-security key system?
Zero-bitted means the A1307KZ cylinder arrives unpinned for the locksmith to key into the house system. If the site is already on a restricted or patented platform, the Sargent 82-856 is a non-key-retaining padlock on the KESO series with a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case and stainless steel shackle, and the Medeco 5260 uses M3 key technology. Those come keyed to their own factory systems rather than field-pinned from blank.
18) How many A1307KZ padlocks come in a carton for a multi-site rollout?
Packaging runs 6 per shelf pack and 24 per master carton. For a property manager standardizing a set of buildings, that is the unit to order against so you are not splitting cases.
