American Lock AME-A3105CYKD BLK 2KEY – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the American Lock A3105CY take my existing SFIC cores from my Best-style keying system?
The A3105CY is built for standard small format interchangeable cores, and it ships with a standard SFIC keyway cylinder already in it. If your facility is already running SFIC on the doors, the padlock drops into the same system, and 16 interchangeable core keyways are offered so the lock can be matched to whichever keyway your system uses. The core is removable with a control key like any other SFIC opening, so a locksmith can pull it and combinate it to your existing bitting.
2) What is the difference between the A3105CY and the A3105WO padlock?
Same solid aluminum lock body. The CY comes with a standard SFIC cylinder installed; the WO is supplied without a cylinder so you can drop in a core you already own or one from a different keyway family. If you stock your own SFIC cores, order the WO. If you want the padlock ready to key and go, take the CY.
3) Will a 1-inch shackle clear my hasp or locker latch?
Shackle clearance is tight on this one. The A3105CY has a 1 inch shackle height, 3/4 inch clearance between the legs, and a 1/4 inch diameter shackle. That works on self-storage doors, lockers, tool cribs and standard hasps where the staple is thin. If you are locking through a thick hasp, a chain link or a gate latch, the 1 inch shackle will not reach - step up to the A3106 or A3107 bodies in the same aluminum family, which use longer shackles.
4) What is the difference between keyed different, keyed alike and master keyed on the A3105CY?
Keyed different (A3105CYKD) means every lock has its own key, which is what you want for tenant storage units or individual employee lockers. A3105CYKA is keyed alike, so one key opens the whole group - handy for a crew that shares access. A3105CYMK and A3105CYKAMK add a master key over the top of keyed different or keyed alike, so supervisors carry one key for everything. A3105CYUN ships uncombinated for a locksmith to pin to your own system.
5) What is the closest alternative to the American Lock A3105CY if I need a padlock that takes my existing interchangeable core system?
The A3105CY is a small format interchangeable core padlock built on a standard SFIC keyway, so its core pulls and swaps with the rest of an SFIC system. The nearest removable-core alternative from another manufacturer is the Sargent 60-858-2, a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle. Note the shackle difference: the American Lock carries a 1 inch shackle length at 1/4 inch diameter, so the Sargent gives considerably more clearance through a hasp while the A3105CY sits tighter to the staple.
6) I need an aluminum body padlock but the 1-1/2 inch body is too wide for my hasp. What is a narrower option?
The American Lock A3105CY has a 1-1/2 inch wide solid aluminum body. If you need a narrower footprint in aluminum, the ABUS 72/30 is an anodized aluminum safety padlock with a 1-1/4 inch body width, though it steps down to a 3/16 inch shackle diameter against the A3105CY's 1/4 inch. The ABUS T84MB/30 is narrower still at 1-17/64 inch body width with a 13/64 inch shackle, using a black sleeve over the body rather than an anodized aluminum shell.
7) Is the ABUS 74/40 a direct substitute for the American Lock A3105CY?
They match on two headline numbers - the ABUS 74/40 is listed at 1-1/2 inch body width with a 1/4 inch shackle diameter, the same body width and shackle diameter as the A3105CY. They are not interchangeable on keying, though. The 74/40 is an insulated safety padlock built around a 6-pin cylinder, while the A3105CY is a small format interchangeable core lock on a standard SFIC keyway, so only the American Lock drops into an existing SFIC masterkey system.
8) Can I get these color coded so each crew or department has its own lock?
Yes, and that is the main reason people buy the aluminum body. The A3105CY body is anodized in black, blue, brown, clear, green, orange, purple, red and yellow. Utility crews and MRO shops typically assign a color per trade or per department, then use the SFIC core to control who actually opens what. Laser engraving and custom marking are also offered if you need department names or asset numbers on the body.
9) Is an aluminum padlock strong enough for outdoor and utility use?
Solid aluminum body, not a laminated or plated shell, so it will not rust and it holds up in harsh weather. Aluminum is also spark resistant and light, which is why it gets specified around utility gear and fuel areas. The cut resistance comes from the shackle rather than the body: 1/4 inch hardened boron alloy steel, held by a dual ball bearing mechanism that resists pulling and prying. For a brass or stainless body instead, the Sargent 858 uses a stainless shackle and the Medeco 521 G8R has a solid stainless steel body.
10) Can I order the A3105CY with a chain attached so the lock stays with the gate?
Yes. The A3105CY can be ordered with a #40 sash chain, 9 inches (229mm) long, zinc plated, or with no chain at all. The chain keeps the padlock tethered to the hasp or cabinet so it does not walk off or get set down in the dirt during a shift.
11) How does the A3105CY compare to an ABUS aluminum safety padlock for lockout tagout style use?
Both are aluminum-bodied at similar size, but they serve different programs. The A3105CY is a 1-1/2 inch wide body with a 1/4 inch shackle and a standard SFIC core, so it belongs to your building's master key system. The ABUS 72/30 is a 1-1/4 inch body with a lighter 3/16 inch shackle, and the ABUS 74/40 matches the 1-1/2 inch body width and 1/4 inch shackle but runs a 6-pin cylinder rather than an interchangeable core. If your keying has to fold into an existing SFIC system, the American Lock is the one that does that.
12) For an outdoor or wash-down location, should I use the A3105CY or a stainless or brass body padlock?
The A3105CY uses a solid aluminum body, which is corrosion resistant, spark resistant and light, and it takes a standard SFIC core. If the environment calls for a different body metal, the Medeco 521 G8R is a weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body supplied less pop-out cylinder, and the Sargent 858 is a non-key-retaining padlock with a stainless steel shackle in a US4 satin brass finish. The trade-off is keying platform: those peers are not SFIC locks, so they will not accept the cores you already stock for the American Lock.
13) What padlock should I look at instead of the A3105CY if I want a heavier shackle?
The A3105CY shackle is 1/4 inch in diameter with a 3/4 inch shackle width and 1 inch clearance. For a thicker shackle, the Schlage KS23D/KS23F brass padlock and the Medeco 54515G both use a 5/16 inch diameter shackle, and the Medeco 5260 brass body padlock steps up to 7/16 inch. Keep in mind those larger diameters need a hasp opening sized to match, which is the usual reason a 1/4 inch shackle gets specified in the first place.
14) Which padlock gives me an audit trail instead of a mechanical key like the A3105CY?
The A3105CY is a purely mechanical keyed padlock on a standard SFIC keyway. If the application needs electronic credentialing rather than a mechanical key, the Medeco 54515G is an XT electronic indoor/outdoor padlock, non-key retaining, with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter, supplied with cylinder. It is a different keying platform entirely, so it will not share cores or keys with SFIC padlocks already in service.
15) I color-code padlocks by crew. Does anything else offer that, or only the American Lock A3105CY?
The A3105CY body is offered in black, blue, brown, clear, green, orange, purple, red and yellow, which is what makes it common for departmental or crew-based color coding, and it can be ordered with or without a #40 sash chain 9 inches long. Among other-brand padlocks, the ABUS 76/40 uses a plastic cover over an aluminum core with a 1/4 inch shackle diameter and 1-37/64 inch width, and the ABUS T84MB/30 uses a black sleeve body. Those are single-appearance locks rather than a multi-color program.
16) How many keys come with each padlock, and can I order fewer?
Standard is 2 keys per lock. You can also order 0, 1, 3 or 4 keys per lock. Property managers handing out storage units often take 2 or 3; facilities that pull the core and key it in-house usually take 0 and supply their own.
17) How do these ship if I am buying padlocks by the case for a facility?
Shelf pack is 6 locks and the master carton holds 24. That sizes well for standardizing a building or a storage facility one aisle at a time rather than buying singles.
18) Is this padlock meant for commercial use or is it a homeowner lock?
Commercial. The A3105CY is specified for facility work - tool cribs, self-storage, lockers and utility applications - and its value is that it runs on the same interchangeable core keying as the commercial doors in the building. A residential buyer with one shed does not need an SFIC padlock.
19) Do I need a key-retaining padlock, and is the A3105CY one?
Key retention is a keying-platform choice, not a body choice. Within the Sargent padlocks, the 758 is key retaining in a US4 satin brass finish while the 858 is non-key retaining with a stainless steel shackle, and the Sargent 82-856 is also non-key retaining with a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case. The American Lock A3105CY is a small format interchangeable core padlock, so its retention behavior follows the SFIC core you install in it rather than the lock body, which is why shops standardizing on retention usually specify it at the core.
