American Lock AME-A3105CYKA BLK 2KEY – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the American Lock A3105CYKA come with a core, or do I have to supply my own SFIC?
The A3105CYKA ships with a standard SFIC keyway core installed and keyed alike, so locks in the order open on the same key. If you already run your own SFIC system and want to pin your own cores in, order the A3105WO version instead, which is the same solid aluminum body supplied without a cylinder. That is the single most common ordering mistake on this family: the CY prefix means core included, WO means no core.
2) Will a 1/4 inch shackle padlock fit through my hasp and locker staple?
Shackle is 1/4 inch (6mm) diameter with a 1 inch (25mm) clearance height and 3/4 inch between the legs. Measure the hole in your hasp: anything 1/4 inch or larger takes it, and the 3/4 inch inside width is what decides whether it straddles a locker staple or a chain link. The body itself is 1-1/2 inch wide, so it will not crowd a tight hasp cup.
3) I need padlocks that all open on my building's existing SFIC key. Does this one keep to my keyway?
Yes, provided your system runs a standard SFIC keyway. The A3105CYKA takes a small format interchangeable core, and American Lock offers 16 interchangeable core keyways on the aluminum SFIC line, so the padlock can be matched to the keyway already running your doors. Keyed alike means every lock on the order shares one key, and there is a key code field on the order so an existing code can be carried forward.
4) What is the difference between the A3105CYKA and the keyed different or master keyed versions?
Same 1-1/2 inch aluminum body and 1 inch shackle across all of them; only the keying changes. KA is keyed alike, one key opens every lock in the order. A3105CY (A3105CYKD) is keyed different, each lock its own key. A3105CYUN is uncombinated, shipped unpinned for a locksmith to key on site. A3105CYMK is keyed different under a master key, and A3105CYKAMK is keyed alike under a master. Facilities that want a maintenance master over crew locks want one of the MK variants, not this one.
5) My facility runs Sargent or Schlage keying, not SFIC. Can I still get a padlock on my system?
Not with this one. The A3105CYKA is built around a standard SFIC keyway core, so it keys into a small format interchangeable core system and nothing else. On a Sargent system, the Sargent 758 key retaining padlock and the 858 non key retaining padlock are the equivalents, and the Sargent 60-858-2 is a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle. For Schlage, the KS23D/KS23F brass padlock runs a 5/16 inch shackle. Key retaining matters on the choice: a key retaining lock will not release the key while the shackle is open, which stops a locker or gate being left unsecured.
6) What is the closest equivalent to the American Lock A3105CYKA if I need an aluminum-body padlock around 1-1/2 inch wide with a 1/4 inch shackle?
The A3105CYKA has a 1-1/2 inch body width, a 1/4 inch shackle diameter and an aluminum body, and it takes a standard SFIC keyway core. The nearest aluminum-core peer on the same shackle diameter is the ABUS 76/40, a plastic-covered aluminum core padlock with a 1/4 inch shackle diameter and a 1 37/64 inch width. The ABUS 74/40 also carries a 1/4 inch shackle diameter and a 1-1/2 inch body width, but it is an insulated safety padlock built around a 6-pin cylinder rather than an interchangeable core, so it will not accept the SFIC cores that key the A3105CYKA into an existing system.
7) If I already key my building on removable cores, is the American Lock A3105CYKA the only padlock that will fall into that system?
No. The A3105CYKA takes a standard SFIC keyway core, so it drops into an SFIC system directly. On the Sargent side, the 60-858-2 is a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle, which is the other route to keying padlocks on the same cores as the rest of the openings. The Medeco 521 G8R is supplied less pop-out cylinder in a solid stainless steel body, so it is cylinder-ready rather than core-ready and is combinated to Medeco's own cylinder rather than an SFIC core.
8) The 1 inch shackle clearance on the American Lock A3105CYKA is too short for my hasp - what takes more shackle?
The A3105CYKA has a 1 inch shackle length with a 3/4 inch shackle width, which suits a close-fitting hasp or a locker latch. For a hasp or chain that needs more vertical clearance, the Sargent 60-858-2 carries a 2 inch stainless steel shackle, and the Sargent 82-856 is a non-key-retaining padlock with a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case and a stainless steel shackle. Note that the A3105CYKA body stays aluminum while both of those Sargent bodies are brass or stainless.
9) Will the American Lock A3105CYKA hold up on an outdoor gate or a coastal site, or do I need something else?
The A3105CYKA uses a solid aluminum body that is corrosion resistant and suited to harsh environments, and it is spark resistant and lightweight. Where a site calls for a stainless or sealed body instead, the Medeco 521 G8R is a weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body, and the ABUS T84MB/30 Nautic is a black sleeve padlock with a 13/64 inch shackle diameter and a 1 17/64 inch body width built for marine exposure. Both of those are narrower or heavier-bodied than the A3105CYKA and neither takes an SFIC core.
10) I want every padlock on my self-storage or tool crib run on one key - does the American Lock A3105CYKA do that, and what else will?
The A3105CYKA is the keyed alike build of the A3105CY solid aluminum SFIC padlock, so a group of locks opens on one key, and the standard SFIC keyway means that key can be the same system already running the doors. It ships with 2 keys per lock as standard, with 0, 1, 3 and 4 keys per lock also available so you are not paying for keys you will not hand out. Among the peers, the Sargent 60-858-2 removable core padlock is the one that can be combinated into an existing core system the same way; the Sargent 758 is a key retaining standard padlock in a US4 satin brass finish, and key retaining means the key cannot be withdrawn while the lock is open, which changes how a storage tenant or crib attendant uses it.
11) Is an aluminum padlock tough enough for outdoor gates and utility work, or should I be buying steel?
Solid aluminum body, and that is a deliberate trade. Aluminum does not rust, so it holds up in wash-down, coastal, and outdoor utility service where a plated steel body corrodes, and it is spark resistant and light on a key ring or a lineman's belt. The cutting resistance comes from the shackle, not the body: it is hardened boron alloy steel, with a dual ball bearing locking mechanism that resists pulling and prying. For a stainless body instead, the Medeco 521 G8R weather-tight padlock has a solid stainless steel body.
12) Can I color code padlocks by department or by crew?
Nine body colors are offered: black, blue, brown, clear, green, orange, purple, red and yellow. That is what makes this lock common in tool cribs and utility work, where each trade or each shift gets its own color and a supervisor can read the board at a glance. Laser engraving and custom marking are available on the line if you want the locks stamped as well.
13) How many keys ship with each American Lock A3105CYKA padlock?
Standard is 2 keys per lock. That is a choice on the order, not a fixed count: 0, 1, 3 or 4 keys per lock are also available. On a keyed alike order most fleets take the standard 2 and cut extras from the system rather than paying per lock, but if only the supervisor carries a key, dropping to 1 or 0 per lock keeps loose keys out of the field.
14) Can I get the padlock attached to the equipment so it does not walk off?
A chain option is offered: #40 sash chain, 9 inches (229mm) long, zinc plated, or no chain at all. The chain tethers the padlock to the locker door, gate, or cabinet so it is not set down and lost when the opening is unlocked, which is the usual reason self-storage and locker installs specify it.
15) I need a taller shackle than 1 inch for a thick hasp or a chain. What else does American Lock make in this aluminum SFIC body?
The 1 inch shackle on the A3105 is short by design, meant to leave little room for bolt cutter jaws. When the hasp is too thick for it, the same aluminum SFIC body is made in the A3106 and A3107, which step up the shackle height. Those are catalogued without a cylinder (A3106WO and A3107WO families), so a core gets supplied or pinned separately.
16) Do I have to give a key code when I order a keyed alike padlock?
There is a key code field on the order. If you are adding locks to a fleet that already exists, put the existing code in so the new padlocks open on the key your crews already carry. Leave it off and the order gets keyed alike to a code, meaning the locks match each other but not the ones already hanging on your gates.
17) For lockout-tagout on an electrical panel, is the American Lock A3105CYKA the right choice or should I use a dedicated safety padlock?
The A3105CYKA is an aluminum-body padlock offered in black, blue, brown, clear, green, orange, purple, red and yellow lockbody colors, which is what lets one worker or trade be told apart from another at the panel. Purpose-built safety padlocks in the same class are the ABUS 72/30, an anodized aluminum safety padlock with a 1-1/4 inch body width and 3/16 inch shackle diameter, and the ABUS 74/40, an insulated safety padlock with a 1/4 inch shackle diameter and 1-1/2 inch body width. The insulated 74/40 body is the one built specifically for work on live electrical equipment; the A3105CYKA's advantage is that its SFIC core keys to the same system as the rest of your facility.
18) What is the difference between the American Lock A3105CYKA and the Sargent 858 or 758 if I just need a padlock on a stockroom door?
The A3105CYKA is a 1-1/2 inch wide aluminum body with a 1/4 inch shackle diameter and a 1 inch shackle length, taking a standard SFIC core. The Sargent 858 is a non-key-retaining padlock with a stainless steel shackle in a US4 satin brass finish, and the Sargent 758 is the key retaining version in the same US4 satin brass finish. The choice turns on two things: whether you want the key trapped in the lock while it hangs open, which the 758 does and the A3105CYKA does not, and whether the padlock needs to run on the same interchangeable cores as the rest of your hardware, which is the A3105CYKA.
19) Can I audit who opened a padlock, and does the American Lock A3105CYKA support that?
No. The A3105CYKA is a mechanical solid aluminum padlock keyed on a standard SFIC core, so access is controlled by who holds the key, not by a record of openings. For an electronic-credential padlock, the Medeco 54515G XT is an electronic indoor/outdoor padlock with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter, supplied non-key-retaining and with cylinder. It is a different class of product and will not accept the SFIC cores the A3105CYKA uses.
20) If I need a heavier shackle than the 1/4 inch on the American Lock A3105CYKA, what padlocks step up?
The A3105CYKA carries a 1/4 inch diameter boron alloy steel shackle, hardened for cut resistance, in a 1-1/2 inch aluminum body. For a thicker shackle, the Medeco 5260 in the 52 Series is a brass body padlock with a 7/16 inch shackle diameter and M3 key technology in satin chrome, and both the Medeco 54515G and the Schlage KS23D/KS23F use a 5/16 inch shackle diameter, the Schlage in a brass body. Moving up in shackle diameter here also means moving off the aluminum body and off the SFIC core.
21) My hasp opening is tight - is there a narrower padlock than the American Lock A3105CYKA?
The A3105CYKA body is 1-1/2 inch wide with a 3/4 inch shackle width. For a narrower body, the ABUS 72/30 is an anodized aluminum safety padlock at 1-1/4 inch body width with a 3/16 inch shackle diameter, and the ABUS T84MB/30 Nautic is 1 17/64 inch wide with a 13/64 inch shackle diameter. Both carry a thinner shackle than the A3105CYKA's 1/4 inch, so confirm the hasp staple is what is limiting you and not the shackle.
22) For a high-security key system rather than a standard SFIC, what replaces the American Lock A3105CYKA?
The A3105CYKA is built for the standard SFIC keyway, which is the common interchangeable core format. Where the specification calls for a patented or restricted key system, the Medeco 5260 is a 52 Series brass body padlock using M3 key technology with a 7/16 inch shackle diameter in satin chrome, and 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. Both put the padlock on that system's own key rather than on an SFIC core, and both use a brass body in place of the A3105CYKA's aluminum.
23) I need padlocks that stay attached to the gate or locker when opened - does the American Lock A3105CYKA do that?
The A3105CYKA can be ordered with a #40 sash chain, 9 inch (229mm) long, zinc plated, which tethers the lock to the hasp so it is not set down and lost, or without a chain. Among the peers, the retention question is about the key rather than the body: the Sargent 758 is key retaining, so the key stays captive while the lock is open, while the Sargent 858 and the Medeco 54515G are non-key retaining. Those are two different problems, so decide whether you are trying to keep the lock with the opening or the key with the lock.
24) How do these padlocks come packed for a bulk order?
Six per shelf pack, 24 per master carton. That matters when you are staging a rekey across a property: order in multiples of 6 and the packs land ready to hand out by building or by crew rather than getting broken open on a bench.
25) Will a black A3105CYKA padlock hold its finish outdoors?
The black body is a black anodized finish, not a paint or a plating, so there is no coat to chip off and expose bare metal. Anodizing goes into the aluminum surface, which is why this lock gets specified for exposed utility and outdoor storage work where a painted steel padlock chalks and rusts within a season.
