American Lock AME-A3260WOKD 2KEY – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the American Lock A3260WO padlock come with a cylinder, or do I need to order a core separately?
No core is included. The A3260WO is a solid steel small format interchangeable core padlock shipped without a cylinder, so you supply or order an SFIC core separately and drop it in. That is the whole point of the WO version: you core it to the keyway already running in your building.
2) Can I key this American Lock SFIC padlock to the same system as my Best or Arrow door locks?
Yes. The A3260WO takes a small format interchangeable core, with a choice of 16 SFIC keyways including Best, Arrow and Falcon, so you can put the padlock on the same key system as your door hardware. Because it is supplied uncored, the core you install determines the keyway and the keying level.
3) Will a 1-1/8 inch shackle clearance fit my hasp or gate chain?
The shackle gives 1-1/8 inch of clearance under the crossbar with a 3/4 inch inside width, and the shackle is 3/8 inch in diameter. That is a short shoulder height, so it works on tight hasps, lockers, tool cribs and storage units but will not reach around a thick gate post or a heavy chain link. For those, step up to a longer shackle version in the same solid steel family.
4) Should I buy the keyed different A3260WO or a keyed alike version for a building full of locks?
Keyed different means every padlock opens on its own key, which is what you want for tenant storage units or individual tool cribs where nobody should cross-open. If one maintenance key needs to open every padlock, order the A3260WOKA keyed alike version instead, or A3260WOMK and A3260WOKAMK if the padlocks need to sit under an existing master key. Uncombinated A3260WOUN is the choice when your locksmith is pinning the cores in house.
5) What are the alternatives to the American Lock A3260WO if I do not run a small format interchangeable core system?
The A3260WO only makes sense if you are feeding it an SFIC core. If your building is on a different platform, the Sargent 60-858-2 removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle is the removable-core route on Sargent keying, and the Medeco 521 G8R weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless body is supplied less pop-out cylinder for Medeco systems. For a straight keyed padlock with no core swapping, the Schlage KS23D/KS23F brass padlock with a 5/16 inch shackle or the Sargent 758 key retaining padlock in US4 satin brass are simpler options.
6) What is the closest equivalent to the American Lock A3260WO if I key my facility on Sargent removable cores?
The Sargent 60-858-2 is a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle, so it takes a core the same way the A3260WO does rather than a fixed cylinder. The A3260WO ships without a cylinder and has a 3/8 inch diameter shackle with a 1-1/8 inch shackle length, so the Sargent gives a taller shackle clearance while the American Lock gives a heavier shackle. Choose on which core format your existing system uses and on how much shackle clearance the hasp needs.
7) I need a padlock that arrives ready to use with a cylinder already in it instead of the A3260WO - what should I order?
The A3260WO is supplied without a cylinder, so it needs a small format interchangeable core added before it will lock to a key. If you want a lock that comes complete, the Sargent 758 is a key retaining standard padlock in a US4 satin brass finish, and the Schlage KS23D/KS23F is a brass padlock with a 5/16 inch diameter shackle. Both are ordered as finished locks rather than as a shell waiting on a core.
8) What is the body size of the A3260 padlock, and will it fit inside a standard hasp staple?
The body is 2 inches wide in chrome plated solid steel. That is the common commercial padlock width, so it seats in most 2 inch hasps and lock boxes. Check the staple opening against the 3/8 inch shackle diameter as well, since undersized staples are the usual reason a solid steel padlock will not go on.
9) How many keys come with each American Lock A3260WO padlock?
Key count is an ordering choice: 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4 keys per lock, with 2 keys per lock as the standard. Fleet buyers stocking spares usually take 3 or 4; the 0 key option suits shops that cut and stamp their own keys for the core.
10) Can I get this padlock with a chain so it stays attached to the gate or locker?
Yes. Along with the plain version, the A3260WO can be ordered with a #40 sash chain, 9 inches (229mm) long, zinc plated. That keeps the padlock captive on a gate, cabinet or locker so it does not walk off between uses.
11) Is a solid steel padlock like the A3260 tough enough for an outdoor gate or fence?
It is built for it. The case hardened chrome plated solid steel body resists cutting, sawing and corrosion, the shackle is hardened boron alloy for cut resistance, and a dual stainless steel ball bearing locking mechanism resists pulling and prying. American Lock lists security gates and fences among its uses, and the lock is rated commercial rather than residential.
12) Is the A3260WO a suitable lockout/tagout safety padlock?
No. It is a chrome plated solid steel security padlock for gates, storage and tool cribs, not a LOTO lock. For lockout work you want a non-conductive or lightweight safety padlock such as the ABUS 74/40 insulated safety padlock with a 1/4 inch shackle, the ABUS 76/40 plastic-covered aluminum core padlock, or the ABUS 72/30 anodized aluminum safety padlock with a 1-1/4 inch body.
13) I need a longer shackle than the A3260 offers. What else is in the same American Lock solid steel SFIC line?
The same solid steel SFIC padlock body is offered as the A3261WO and A3262WO, both also supplied without a cylinder and available keyed different, keyed alike, master keyed or uncombinated. Those are the step-ups when the 1-1/8 inch clearance on the A3260 is too short for your hasp or chain.
14) For an outdoor gate where the padlock sees weather, is the A3260WO the right pick or is there a better option?
The A3260WO uses a chrome plated solid steel body 2 inches wide with a boron alloy shackle and is described for security gates and fences. If you want a body built specifically around weather exposure, the Medeco 521 G8R is a weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body, supplied less its pop-out cylinder, and the Medeco 54515G XT is an electronic indoor/outdoor padlock with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter supplied with cylinder. The tradeoff is a steel SFIC-ready shell against a stainless or electronic credential body.
15) What is the difference between the A3260WO and a brass body padlock like the Medeco 5260 or Sargent 858?
The A3260WO has a steel body in a silver chrome finish and takes a small format interchangeable core, so rekeying is a core swap. The Medeco 5260 is a 52 Series brass body padlock with a 7/16 inch shackle diameter and M3 key technology in satin chrome, and the Sargent 858 is a non-key retaining padlock with a stainless steel shackle in a US4 satin brass finish. Brass bodies suit marine and coastal exposure; the steel A3260WO suits sites standardizing on an SFIC keyway already used on the doors.
16) Do I need a key retaining padlock, and does the A3260WO behave that way?
Key retaining behavior on the A3260WO depends on the small format interchangeable core you install, since the lock ships without a cylinder. If retention has to be fixed by the lock itself, the Sargent 758 is specified as key retaining, while the Sargent 858 and the Sargent 82-856 KESO padlock with a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case are non-key retaining, as is the Medeco 54515G XT. Pick the retaining behavior deliberately where an operator must not walk off with the key while the gate is open.
17) What are the packaging quantities if I am buying these padlocks for a whole property?
Shelf pack is 6 and the master carton holds 24, so multi-family and facilities buyers standardizing a storage bank or locker row typically order in those multiples.
18) Is an ABUS 76/40 or T84MB/30 a substitute for the A3260WO on a self storage or tool crib application?
Not really. The ABUS 76/40 is a plastic-covered aluminum core padlock with a 1/4 inch shackle diameter and 1-37/64 inch width, and the ABUS T84MB/30 Nautic is a black sleeve padlock with a 13/64 inch shackle diameter and 1-17/64 inch body width. Both are smaller and lighter bodied than the A3260WO, which is a 2 inch wide solid steel lock with a 3/8 inch boron alloy shackle described for self storage units, lockers and tool cribs and keyed through an interchangeable core.
