American Lock AME-A1365KA BLU 2KEY – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does "keyed alike" mean on the American Lock A1365KA, and do I have to give a key code when I order?
Keyed alike means every A1365KA on the order opens with the same key, so one key runs the whole set of locks you buy together. The order form asks for a key code, so if you already run an American Lock keyway in your building you can have new locks cut to the code you have and keep one key across old and new. Leave it off and the locks are simply keyed alike to a code assigned to your order.
2) Will the A1365KA padlock shackle fit through my hasp or gate chain link?
The A1365KA takes a 3/8 inch diameter boron alloy shackle with 1-1/8 inch of clearance under the crossbar and 3/4 inch between the legs. That clears most commercial hasps, but on a chain link gate or a thick shrouded hasp the 1-1/8 inch height is short, so measure the stack you need to capture before ordering. The body itself is 2 inches wide.
3) Can a locksmith rekey the A1365KA aluminum padlock in house?
Yes. The A1365KA uses a 6-pin APTC14 rekeyable cylinder, so a locksmith can repin it to an existing system rather than replacing the lock. The cylinder is pick resistant and carries tens of thousands of key changes.
4) Should I buy the A1365 keyed alike or the keyed different version?
Take keyed alike (A1365KA) when one person or one crew needs to open many locks with a single key, such as a fleet of gates or lockers under one manager. Go keyed different (A1365, also called A1365KD) when each lock must open only on its own key, as with tenant self-storage. American Lock also builds the same 2 inch aluminum body as A1365UN uncombinated, A1365KZ zero-bitted for locksmiths to bit themselves, A1365MK keyed different master keyed, and A1365KAMK keyed alike under a master key.
5) Can I use the A1365KA as an electrical lockout tagout lock?
The A1365KA is a keyed metal-bodied padlock with a solid aluminum body, so it is a conductive lock and is not an insulated lockout device even though it comes in blue, brown, red and yellow bodies for crew color coding. Where the lockout point requires a non-conductive lock, 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 ABUS 76/40 uses a plastic-covered aluminum core.
6) What is the closest aluminum-body safety padlock alternative to the American Lock A1365KA?
The A1365KA is a 2 inch wide solid aluminum body padlock with a 3/8 inch diameter shackle. The closest aluminum-bodied alternatives are the ABUS 72/30 anodized aluminum safety padlock, which has a 1-1/4 inch body width and a 3/16 inch shackle diameter, and the ABUS 76/40 plastic-covered aluminum core padlock with a 1/4 inch shackle diameter and 1-37/64 inch width. Both ABUS locks are narrower in the body and thinner in the shackle than the American Lock, so if your hasp or lockout point was sized around a 3/8 inch shackle, the ABUS units will sit loose in it.
7) I need a padlock for an outdoor gate that will see weather - is the A1365KA the right choice or is there a better option?
The A1365KA uses a solid aluminum body with a black anodized finish and a boron alloy shackle, which is why it is specified for harsh outdoor conditions. If you want a body material that will not chalk or pit at all in coastal service, the Medeco 521 G8R is a weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body, and the ABUS T84MB/30 Nautic is built for marine exposure with a black sleeve over the body, though the T84MB/30 has only a 13/64 inch shackle diameter and a 1-17/64 inch body width against the 2 inch body and 3/8 inch shackle on the American Lock.
8) My facility is standardized on an interchangeable core keyway - can I use the A1365KA?
No. The A1365KA is built around a 6-pin APTC14 rekeyable cylinder, which is rekeyed by repinning rather than by pulling a core. If your system runs on removable cores, the Sargent 60-858-2 is a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle, and the Medeco 521 G8R is supplied less pop-out cylinder so you can fit the cylinder your system already uses.
9) We run a high-security key system - is the A1365KA keyed alike lock compatible or do we need a different padlock?
The A1365KA is keyed alike on the American Lock APTC14 6-pin rekeyable cylinder, so a set of them opens on one common key but it is an American Lock keyway, not a proprietary high-security one. If your site is already on a restricted platform, match the padlock to it: the Sargent 82-856 is a KESO Series non-key-retaining padlock with a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case and stainless steel shackle, and the Medeco 5260 runs M3 key technology.
10) Is an aluminum body padlock strong enough for outdoor gates and yard use?
The A1365KA uses a solid aluminum body with a black anodized finish, which resists corrosion outdoors better than a plated steel case, and the cut resistance comes from the boron alloy shackle rather than the body. A dual ball bearing locking mechanism resists pulling and prying. American Lock lists it for harsh outdoor conditions, manufacturing environments, self-storage units and lockers.
11) Can I color code padlocks by department or crew with the A1365 aluminum series?
Yes. The A1365KA keyed alike padlock is stocked in blue, brown, red and yellow anodized bodies, so you can assign a color per trade, per building or per contractor and still have them all open on the same key. American Lock also references laser engraving and custom marking for the series if you need stamped identification.
12) Does the American Lock A1365KA come with a chain option so the lock stays with the door?
Yes. You can order the A1365KA plain or with a #40 sash chain, 9 inches long, zinc plated, which tethers the padlock to the hasp or gate so it does not walk off when the opening is unlocked. Both build options are offered across all four body colors.
13) How many keys come with each A1365KA padlock, and can I order locks with no keys?
Key count is a choice at order: 0, 1, 2 (the standard), 3 or 4 keys per lock. Property managers handing a key to each tenant or crew lead often take 3 or 4; the 0 key option suits a locksmith who cuts keys from the code in house and does not want loose blanks shipping with the locks.
14) What is the difference between the American Lock A1365, A1366 and A1367 padlocks?
All three share the 2 inch wide solid aluminum body and the rekeyable cylinder; they differ in shackle height. The A1365 is the short shackle at 1-1/8 inches of clearance, with the A1366 and A1367 stepping up in the same family for hasps and chains that need more room. Pick by the thickness of what you are locking through.
15) How does the A1365KA compare to a brass-body padlock like the Sargent 858 or Schlage KS23?
The A1365KA has a solid aluminum body 2 inches wide with a 3/8 inch boron shackle and a rekeyable 6-pin cylinder. The brass alternatives are heavier in the hand: the Sargent 858 is a non-key-retaining padlock with a stainless steel shackle in a US4 satin brass finish, the Sargent 758 is the key-retaining version in the same finish, and the Schlage KS23D/KS23F is a brass padlock with a 5/16 inch diameter shackle. Key retention is the decision point on the Sargent pair - the 758 holds the key captive while the lock is open, the 858 does not.
16) We want audit trail and access scheduling on padlocked sites - what should we look at instead of the A1365KA?
The A1365KA is a purely mechanical padlock with a rekeyable 6-pin cylinder and no electronics. For programmable access with electronic key control, the Medeco 54515G XT is an electronic indoor/outdoor padlock, non-key-retaining, with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter and cylinder included. Note the shackle diameter difference - 5/16 inch on the Medeco against 3/8 inch on the American Lock.
17) Which padlock has a thicker shackle than the American Lock A1365KA?
The A1365KA carries a 3/8 inch diameter boron alloy shackle standing 1-1/8 inches tall with a 3/4 inch clearance width. The only comparable with a larger shackle diameter is the Medeco 5260, a 52 Series brass body padlock with a 7/16 inch shackle diameter and M3 key technology in satin chrome. The Schlage KS23D/KS23F and the Medeco 54515G both come in under it at 5/16 inch.
18) How do American Lock A1365KA padlocks pack for a bulk order?
They ship 6 to a shelf pack and 24 to a master carton, which is the count to work from when you are ordering a keyed alike set for a whole property or multiple buildings.
