American Lock AME-A1365KZ BLU 2KEY – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does "zero-bitted" mean on the American Lock A1365KZ, and do I need a key machine to use it?
Zero-bitted means the A1365KZ ships with its 6-pin APTC14 cylinder pinned to all-zero cuts, so it is not usable security until you key it. You need to cut your own key to your keyway and bitting and pin the cylinder to match. That is why a lot of these go out with 0 keys per lock. If you do not run a key machine or a pinning bench, order a keyed version of the same 2 inch aluminum body instead: A1365KD keyed different, A1365KA keyed alike, or the master keyed A1365MK and A1365KAMK.
2) Will a 3/8 inch shackle padlock fit my hasp, and how much clearance does the A1365KZ give?
Check two numbers against your hasp. The shackle is 3/8 inch diameter, so the hasp eye or chain link has to pass a 3/8 inch pin. Clearance under the crossbar is 1-1/8 inch of shackle height with 3/4 inch between the legs, which is enough for a standard staple hasp or a gate chain but tight on thick doubled-up hasps or fat cable. The body itself is 2 inches wide, so allow that much flat space at the staple.
3) Can the A1365KZ be brought onto an existing master key system?
Yes, within the limits of the cylinder. It uses a 6-pin APTC14 rekeyable cylinder, and because the KZ ships zero-bitted your locksmith pins it to whatever change key and master you already run. If you would rather the factory do it, the same body is sold as A1365MK keyed different master keyed and A1365KAMK keyed alike master keyed. American Lock's Edge key control program is offered on the line if you want restricted blanks.
4) What is the closest aluminum-body safety padlock to the American Lock A1365KZ if a smaller lock is needed for lockout tags?
The A1365KZ is a 2 inch wide solid aluminum body with a 3/8 inch diameter shackle. If a smaller aluminum lock fits the hasp better, the ABUS 72/30 anodized aluminum safety padlock runs a 1-1/4 inch body width with a 3/16 inch shackle diameter, and the ABUS 76/40 uses a plastic-covered aluminum core at 1-37/64 inch width with a 1/4 inch shackle. Those two step down in both body and shackle size, so confirm the hasp opening and staple clearance before switching.
5) Which padlock should be used instead of the American Lock A1365KZ on an interchangeable core master key system?
The A1365KZ is a rekeyable padlock supplied zero-bitted, so it is pinned in the field to your own key system rather than accepting a removable core. If the facility standardizes on interchangeable cores, the Sargent 60-858-2 is a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle, which lets the same core family used on the doors go into the padlock.
6) Can I color code padlocks by trade or department with the American Lock A1365 aluminum padlock?
Yes, that is the main reason the anodized aluminum body exists in colors. The A1365KZ is orderable in blue, brown, red and yellow lockbodies, so you can assign a color per crew, per building, or per shutoff type and still have them all on one key system once you pin them. Laser engraving and custom marking are also offered on the line if you need unit numbers or department names on the body.
7) Does the A1365KZ come with a chain for gates or meter panels?
A chain is an ordering option, not standard. You can take the padlock with no chain, or with a #40 sash chain 9 inches long, zinc plated, attached. The 9 inch chain is aimed at keeping the lock captive on a gate post, panel or hydrant so it does not walk off between visits. Pick the chain option on the order form if you want it; it is not added later.
8) How many keys can I get with each American Lock A1365KZ padlock?
Keys per lock is an ordering choice: 0, 1, 2 (the standard), 3, or 4 keys with each padlock. Since the A1365KZ is zero-bitted and gets cut to your own bitting, many shops take it at 0 keys and supply their own blanks. Facilities handing locks to multiple techs usually go 3 or 4.
9) Is this padlock good for outdoor gates and wash-down areas?
It is built for it. The 2 inch solid aluminum body will not rust like a steel case, the black anodized finish takes weather and abuse, and the boron alloy steel shackle resists cutting. American Lock lists it for harsh outdoor conditions, manufacturing environments, and self-storage units and lockers. It is a commercial-duty lock, not a residential one.
10) What is the difference between the American Lock A1365, A1366 and A1367 aluminum padlocks?
All three are the same 2 inch wide solid aluminum rekeyable body; the difference is shackle. The A1365 carries the 1-1/8 inch tall, 3/8 inch diameter boron shackle. If you need more clearance for a thicker hasp, a chain, or a gate latch, step up to the A1366 or A1367 in the same family. Each model number is then suffixed by keying: KD keyed different, KA keyed alike, KZ zero-bitted, UN uncombinated, MK and KAMK for master keyed.
11) What else could I use instead of an American Lock aluminum padlock for lockout or marine duty?
Depends what you are protecting against. For lockout/tagout tags on breakers and valves, the ABUS 72/30 anodized aluminum safety padlock has a smaller 1-1/4 inch body and a 3/16 inch shackle that fits hasps and scissor clamps the 3/8 inch American shackle will not, and the ABUS 74/40 insulated safety padlock is the 6-pin version at 1-1/2 inch body. For salt spray, the Medeco 521 G8R weather-tight padlock has a solid stainless steel body. If you need interchangeable core so the lock joins an existing SFIC system, look at the Sargent 60-858-2 removable core padlock with its 2 inch stainless shackle.
12) For an outdoor gate in a corrosive or coastal environment, is the American Lock A1365KZ the right choice or is there a better option?
The A1365KZ pairs an aluminum body with a boron alloy shackle, which suits general outdoor and manufacturing use. Where salt spray or washdown is constant, a stainless or weather-sealed body is the usual alternative: the Medeco 521 G8R is a weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body, and the ABUS T84MB/30 Nautic uses a black sleeve with a 13/64 inch shackle diameter on a 1-17/64 inch body for marine service.
13) What brass-body padlocks are comparable in size to the 2 inch American Lock A1365KZ?
The A1365KZ body measures 2 inches wide in aluminum. In brass, the Sargent 82-856 is a non-key-retaining padlock with a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case and stainless steel shackle, and the Medeco 5260 is a 52 Series brass body padlock with a 7/16 inch shackle diameter in satin chrome. Both carry a heavier body material than aluminum and the Medeco runs a thicker shackle than the A1365KZ 3/8 inch.
14) Can an electronic padlock replace the American Lock A1365KZ for audit trail requirements?
The A1365KZ is a mechanical 6-pin rekeyable cylinder lock and does not record openings. Where access events need to be logged, the Medeco 54515G XT electronic indoor/outdoor padlock is the comparable alternative, non-key-retaining with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter and supplied with a cylinder. Note the shackle is thinner than the 3/8 inch on the A1365KZ, so check the hasp fit.
15) How do these padlocks come packed for a bulk facility order?
Shelf pack is 6 locks and the master carton holds 24. Handy if you are standardizing a storage facility or a plant and want to order in even multiples rather than onesies.
16) Will this padlock resist someone prying or pulling on the shackle?
The locking mechanism uses dual ball bearings, which grip both shackle legs and resist pull and pry attacks better than a single-latch design. The shackle is boron alloy steel for cut resistance, and the 6-pin cylinder is pick resistant. Understand the trade-off on the body: aluminum resists corrosion, it is not a hardened steel shrouded lock, and the 1-1/8 inch of shackle clearance is short on purpose to limit bolt cutter access.
17) Does the American Lock A1365KZ hold the key when unlocked, and what is the alternative if key retention is required?
Key retention is a function choice rather than a body choice. Among comparable padlocks, 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. Specify against that pair when a lockout procedure requires the key to stay captive in the locked position.
18) What is a comparable padlock to the American Lock A1365KZ that ships pre-keyed rather than zero-bitted?
The A1365KZ is supplied zero-bitted, meaning the cylinder is not yet pinned and a locksmith sets it to the site key system. If you would rather receive a factory-keyed lock, the Schlage KS23D/KS23F is a brass padlock with a 5/16 inch diameter shackle, and the Sargent 758 in US4 satin brass is a standard key-retaining padlock. Both differ from the A1365KZ in body material and shackle diameter.
