American Lock AME-A1366KZ BLU 2KEY – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does zero-bitted mean on the American Lock A1366KZ padlock, and can I key it myself?
Zero-bitted means the A1366KZ ships with the cylinder set to all-zero cuts, so it arrives without a working keying. A locksmith pins it to your own keyway and bitting before it goes into service. The 6-pin APTC14 cylinder is rekeyable and offers tens of thousands of key changes, so the same lock can later be rolled into a new system rather than replaced. If you want a lock that works out of the box instead, the family also includes keyed different (A1366), keyed alike (A1366KA), and master keyed (A1366MK, A1366KAMK) versions.
2) Will the A1366KZ padlock fit through my hasp? What are the shackle dimensions?
The shackle is 3/8 inch diameter with a 2 inch clearance height and 3/4 inch between the legs, on a body 2 inches wide. That 3/4 inch inside width is the number to check against your hasp staple or chain link, and the 2 inch clearance is what decides whether it reaches around a gate latch or hasp loop. Anything needing a wider spread or taller shackle will not take this lock.
3) Can I use the A1366KZ as an electrical lockout padlock?
The A1366KZ has a solid aluminum body with a 3/8 inch boron alloy steel shackle, which is a conductive metal body and shackle. For electrical energy isolation, the comparable set includes the ABUS 74/40 insulated safety padlock with a 6-pin cylinder, 1/4 inch shackle diameter and 1-1/2 inch body, and the ABUS 76/40, which is a plastic-covered aluminum core padlock with a 1/4 inch shackle at 1-37/64 inch wide. Those two are built for the dielectric and small-hasp requirements of lockout/tagout; the A1366KZ is built for security applications like self-storage units, lockers and manufacturing environments.
4) What should I use instead of the A1366KZ for a wet or coastal outdoor location?
The A1366KZ is a solid aluminum body with a black anodized finish and a boron alloy steel shackle, and American Lock positions it for harsh outdoor conditions. If you want a corrosion-focused body material instead of aluminum, the Medeco 521 G8R is a weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body supplied less the pop-out cylinder, and the ABUS T84MB/30 Nautic uses a black sleeve over the body. The Medeco 54515G is an indoor/outdoor padlock on an electronic XT platform with a 5/16 inch shackle, which brings audit and access control rather than a mechanical key.
5) What is the closest alternative to the American Lock A1366KZ if I need a 2 inch padlock with a 2 inch shackle clearance?
The American Lock A1366KZ is a 2 inch wide solid aluminum body padlock with a 2 inch shackle length and 3/8 inch shackle diameter. The closest match on shackle length is the Sargent 60-858-2, a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle. The Sargent 82-856 is another option in that size class, with a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case and a stainless steel shackle. Both move you from an aluminum body to brass or stainless construction and from a rekeyable pinned cylinder to Sargent's removable core or KESO platforms.
6) If the A1366KZ shackle is too thick for my hasp, what smaller padlock should I use?
The A1366KZ uses a 3/8 inch diameter shackle with a 3/4 inch shackle width, which will not pass through a narrow hasp or a lockout hole. For thinner shackles, the ABUS 72/30 anodized aluminum safety padlock uses a 3/16 inch shackle on a 1-1/4 inch body, the ABUS T84MB/30 uses a 13/64 inch shackle on a 1-17/64 inch body, and the ABUS 74/40 and 76/40 both use a 1/4 inch shackle on bodies of 1-1/2 inch and 1-37/64 inch respectively. Schlage KS23D/KS23F and Medeco 54515G both use a 5/16 inch shackle.
7) I need a padlock on our existing large-format interchangeable core system rather than a rekeyable pinned cylinder. What are my options?
The A1366KZ ships zero-bitted with a 6-pin APTC14 rekeyable cylinder, which you pin to your own bitting in the shop. If your facility standardizes on removable cores instead, the Sargent 60-858-2 is a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle, and the Sargent 82-856 runs the KESO platform in a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case. The Medeco 521 G8R is supplied less its pop-out cylinder so you install the cylinder your system uses.
8) Which padlock has the heaviest shackle if my concern is bolt cutters?
The A1366KZ shackle is 3/8 inch in diameter in boron alloy steel, which American Lock specifies for cut resistance, and the body is solid aluminum. The heaviest shackle in the comparable group is the Medeco 5260, a 52 Series brass body padlock with a 7/16 inch shackle diameter and M3 key technology in satin chrome. Below that, the Schlage KS23D/KS23F brass padlock and the Medeco 54515G both use 5/16 inch shackles, and the ABUS 74/40 and 76/40 use 1/4 inch.
9) Is an aluminum body padlock good enough for outdoor gates and yard equipment?
The A1366KZ uses a solid aluminum body with a black anodized finish, which is what makes it suited to harsh outdoor conditions and manufacturing environments. Aluminum does not rust the way a plated steel body does. The security comes from the boron alloy steel shackle for cut resistance and a dual ball bearing locking mechanism that resists pulling and prying, so the soft-metal concern people have about aluminum does not apply to the shackle or the latching.
10) Can I get color coded padlocks for lockout or department assignments?
Yes. The A1366KZ body is offered in blue, brown, red, and yellow, which is how facilities split locks by department, building, or crew without relying on tags. Those are catalogued as A1366KZBLU, A1366KZBRN, A1366KZRED, and A1366KZYLW. All four carry the same 2 inch aluminum body and zero-bitted cylinder, so one keying scheme can run across every color.
11) How many keys come with each American Lock A1366KZ, and can I order it with no keys at all?
Key count is something you specify. The standard is 2 keys per lock, and you can also order 1, 3, 4, or 0 keys per lock. Zero keys is the usual choice when a locksmith is pinning the locks into an existing system and cutting keys on site, since a zero-bitted lock has no factory bitting to match anyway.
12) Can I order the A1366KZ padlock with a chain attached so it stays with the door?
Yes. A chain option is available: a #40 sash chain, 9 inches (229mm) long, zinc plated. It keeps the lock tethered to the gate, cabinet, or locker so it does not get set down and lost. If you do not want it, the same lock is ordered with the chain option set to none.
13) What is the difference between the American Lock A1365, A1366 and A1367 aluminum padlocks?
They are the same 2 inch wide solid aluminum rekeyable family, differing by shackle. The A1366KZ carries a 2 inch tall, 3/8 inch diameter boron shackle. The A1365 and A1367 are the shorter and longer shackle counterparts in the same series, and each is offered in the same keying choices: keyed different, uncombinated, zero-bitted, keyed alike, and master keyed. Pick the body first, then the shackle height your hasp or gate needs.
14) Which brass body padlocks compare to the American Lock A1366KZ aluminum body?
If your spec calls for brass rather than the A1366KZ solid aluminum body, the comparable brass options are the Sargent 758 key retaining padlock in US4 satin brass, the Sargent 858 non-key retaining version in US4 satin brass with a stainless steel shackle, the Sargent 82-856 with a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case on the KESO platform, the Medeco 5260 52 Series brass body with a 7/16 inch shackle in satin chrome, and the Schlage KS23D/KS23F brass padlock with a 5/16 inch shackle.
15) Is an ABUS aluminum safety padlock a substitute for the American Lock A1366KZ?
They are not interchangeable in most applications. The ABUS 72/30 is an anodized aluminum safety padlock with a 1-1/4 inch body width and 3/16 inch shackle diameter, sized for lockout/tagout tasks. The A1366KZ is a 2 inch wide solid aluminum body with a 3/8 inch shackle for gates, self-storage units and manufacturing environments. If your requirement is a color-coded safety lock for an energy isolation program, the ABUS 72 Series is the right family; if it is a security padlock on a hasp, the A1366KZ carries the heavier shackle.
16) Does the A1366KZ retain the key when unlocked, and which comparable padlocks do?
Key retention determines whether the key can be removed while the shackle is open, which matters for lockout programs and for keeping keys with the lock. Among the comparable padlocks, the Sargent 758 is a key retaining standard padlock in US4 satin brass, while the Sargent 858 is non-key retaining with a stainless steel shackle in the same US4 satin brass finish, and the Sargent 82-856 is also non-key retaining. The Medeco 54515G is a non-key-retaining electronic padlock. If key retention is a stated requirement on your spec, order from the Sargent 758 side of that pair.
17) We need color-coded padlocks to separate departments. Which products support that?
The A1366KZ solid aluminum body is offered in blue, brown, red and yellow lockbody colors, and American Lock also supports laser engraving and custom marking, so one part number can cover several departments by color. Among the comparables, the ABUS 72/30 uses an anodized aluminum body and the ABUS 76/40 uses a plastic cover over an aluminum core, both finishes that carry color; the Sargent 758 and 858 are specified in US4 satin brass and the Medeco 5260 in satin chrome, which are metal finishes rather than identification colors.
18) How many padlocks are in a box if I am buying for a whole facility?
The A1366KZ packs 6 per shelf pack and 24 per master carton. That is the figure to work from when standardizing lockers, self-storage units, or a gate program across a site, since ordering in full cartons keeps a single keying batch together.
