American Lock AME-A3260WOKAMK 2KEY – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the American Lock A3260WOKAMK padlock come with a core, or do I have to supply one?
No core is included. The A3260WOKAMK ships as a padlock body only, prepped for a Small Format Interchangeable Core that you supply or order separately. That is the point of the WO (without cylinder) designation: you drop in a core from the keyway family already used on your building's door locks so the padlock keys off the same system. Budget for the core and the control key when you order.
2) What does the KAMK suffix mean on an American Lock A3260WO padlock?
KAMK is keyed alike and master keyed. Every padlock in the order opens on the same change key, and all of them also operate under a master key, so a maintenance tech can carry one key for a group of locks while a supervisor's master covers the whole set. The related builds are A3260WOKD (keyed different), A3260WOKA (keyed alike only), A3260WOMK (keyed different, master keyed) and A3260WOUN (uncombinated). Keying is specified on the order, and a key code field is provided for that.
3) Will this padlock take Best, Arrow or Falcon interchangeable cores?
Yes. The A3260WO body accepts Small Format Interchangeable Cores in a choice of 16 keyways, including Best, Arrow and Falcon, so the padlock can be brought onto the same keying system as the door hardware already installed in the facility. Specify the keyway when you order the core.
4) Will a 1-1/8 inch shackle clear my hasp or gate chain?
Clearance is tight on this one. The shackle is 1-1/8 inch tall with a 3/4 inch clearance width and a 3/8 inch diameter, so it fits a standard commercial hasp or a chain link that accepts a 3/8 inch shank, but it will not reach through thick stacked hasps, heavy gate chain, or a bracket needing more than about an inch of vertical opening. For those, step up to a longer shackle build such as the A3261WO or A3262WO. The body itself is 2 inches wide.
5) What is the closest alternative to the American Lock A3260WOKAMK if I need a padlock that takes a removable core to match my existing keying system?
The Sargent 60-858-2 is a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle, so it serves the same purpose as the American Lock A3260WOKAMK, which ships without a cylinder so you can install your own small format interchangeable core. The main practical difference is shackle length: the A3260WOKAMK uses a 1-1/8 inch shackle with a 3/8 inch diameter, while the Sargent carries a 2 inch shackle, which gives more clearance through a thick hasp or a chain link.
6) I need a padlock that comes ready to use with a cylinder already in it instead of the American Lock A3260WOKAMK - what should I order?
The American Lock A3260WOKAMK is supplied without a cylinder, so it needs a small format interchangeable core added before it will operate. If you want a lock that arrives complete, the Sargent 758 is a key retaining standard padlock in a US4 satin brass finish, the Sargent 858 is the non-key retaining version with a stainless steel shackle, and the Schlage KS23D/KS23F is a brass padlock with a 5/16 inch diameter shackle. All three are finished product rather than a shell waiting on a core.
7) What should I use instead of the American Lock A3260WOKAMK on an exposed outdoor opening exposed to weather?
The A3260WOKAMK uses a chrome plated solid steel body, which the manufacturer describes as resisting cutting, sawing and corrosion. If the opening is fully exposed, the Medeco 521 G8R is a weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body supplied less pop-out cylinder, so it keeps the same core-it-yourself approach while adding a sealed stainless body. The Medeco 54515G XT is an electronic indoor/outdoor padlock with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter supplied with cylinder, if you want audit trail and access scheduling instead of mechanical keying.
8) Is this padlock tough enough for outdoor gates and fencing?
It is built for that kind of use. The body is case hardened, chrome plated solid steel that resists cutting, sawing and corrosion, and the shackle is hardened boron alloy for cut resistance. A dual stainless steel ball bearing locking mechanism resists pulling and prying. American Lock calls out security gates and fences, self-storage units and lockers, secured storage and tool cribs as the intended applications. It is a commercial-duty lock, not a residential one.
9) Can I get these padlocks with a chain for gate or meter use?
Yes. The A3260WOKAMK can be ordered with a #40 zinc plated sash chain, 9 inches (229mm) long, attached, or with no chain at all. The chained build keeps the lock tethered to the gate or panel so it does not walk off or get dropped in the grass when the opening is unlocked.
10) How many keys come with each of these master keyed padlocks?
Key count is something you choose on the order. Standard is 2 keys per lock, with 1, 3, 4 or 0 keys per lock also available. Zero keys is the usual pick when you are buying bodies to core in-house and cut keys yourself, or when the cores and keys are coming from your existing system stock.
11) What else should I look at if I need a removable core padlock but not American Lock?
The closest cross-brand match is the Sargent 60-858-2, a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle, which is the one to consider when the opening needs more shackle reach than the 1-1/8 inch American Lock gives you. Medeco's G8R 521 is a weather-tight solid stainless steel body padlock supplied less pop-out cylinder, so it is also a body-only buy, aimed at exposed outdoor locations. Neither one is an SFIC padlock, though, so if the whole reason for this purchase is matching Best, Arrow or Falcon cores already in your doors, stay with the A3260WO.
12) Can I use an ABUS 72/30 or 76/40 in place of the American Lock A3260WOKAMK on gates and storage units?
They are built for different duty. The American Lock A3260WOKAMK has a 2 inch wide steel body with a 3/8 inch diameter shackle. The ABUS 72/30 is an anodized aluminum safety padlock with a 1-1/4 inch body width and a 3/16 inch shackle diameter, and the ABUS 76/40 is a plastic-covered aluminum core padlock with a 1/4 inch shackle diameter and a 1-37/64 inch width. Those ABUS models are lockout/tagout style safety locks - lighter bodies and thinner shackles - so they are not a like-for-like swap for a solid steel security padlock on a fence or self-storage unit.
13) Is there a brass body padlock comparable to the American Lock A3260WOKAMK for a coastal or high-corrosion site?
Yes. 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 82-856 is a non-key retaining padlock with a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case and stainless steel shackle. Both use brass rather than the chrome plated solid steel body of the A3260WOKAMK, and the Sargent 82-856 brass case matches the A3260WOKAMK 2 inch body width, so it covers a similar hasp footprint.
14) Does the American Lock A3260WOKAMK retain the key when unlocked, and which alternatives differ on that?
Key retention on a small format interchangeable core padlock is set by the core you install, since the A3260WOKAMK ships without a cylinder. If you need the behavior fixed by the lock itself, the Sargent 758 is a key retaining padlock, while the Sargent 858 and the Sargent 82-856 are non-key retaining, as is the Medeco 54515G XT electronic padlock. Key retaining keeps the key captive until the lock is closed again, which matters on gates where a hanging key walks off.
15) Is the ABUS T84MB/30 or 74/40 an equivalent to the American Lock A3260WOKAMK?
No. The ABUS T84MB/30 is a Nautic sleeve padlock with a 13/64 inch shackle diameter and a 1-17/64 inch body width, and the ABUS 74/40 is an insulated safety padlock with a 6-pin cylinder, a 1/4 inch shackle diameter and a 1-1/2 inch body width. Both are narrower in body and much thinner in the shackle than the A3260WOKAMK, which is a 2 inch wide steel body with a 3/8 inch shackle, and neither accepts a small format interchangeable core, so they will not key into a facility system the way the American Lock does.
16) How are these padlocks packed for a bulk order?
They pack 6 to a shelf pack and 24 to a master carton, which is worth knowing if you are standardizing a storage facility or a fence line and want to order in even carton quantities.
17) Is an aluminum safety padlock like the ABUS 72/30 a substitute for this steel lock?
Not for the same job. The ABUS 72/30 is an anodized aluminum safety padlock with a 1-1/4 inch body and a 3/16 inch shackle, built for lockout/tagout where light weight and a non-conductive body matter. The American Lock A3260WO is a 2 inch solid steel body with a 3/8 inch hardened shackle meant for physical security on gates, storage and tool cribs. If you need lockout devices, go ABUS; if you need attack resistance on an exterior opening, go with the steel body.
