American Lock AME-A3260WOMK 2KEY – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the American Lock A3260WOMK padlock come with a core, or do I have to order the cylinder separately?
No core is included. The A3260WOMK ships as a body only, so you supply the small format interchangeable core yourself. That is the point of it: the padlock takes the same SFIC core as your door hardware, in any of 16 keyway options including Best, Arrow and Falcon, so the padlock falls under the same master key system as the rest of the building. It is set up keyed different under a master key, meaning each lock has its own change key with a common master above it.
2) Can I put my existing Best SFIC cores in an American Lock A3260 padlock so the padlocks key into my building master system?
Yes. The A3260WOMK is built to take a small format interchangeable core, with a choice of 16 SFIC keyways including Best, Arrow and Falcon, specifically so the padlock matches your door locks. Pull a core from your system, drop it in with the control key, and the gates, lockers and storage rooms run off the same keyway and the same master as the doors. Ordered as keyed different under a master key.
3) What size shackle opening does the A3260 padlock have, and will it fit through my hasp or chain link gate?
The shackle is 3/8 inch diameter with a 1-1/8 inch clearance height and 3/4 inch between the legs. That 3/4 inch inside width is the number that decides it: your hasp staple or gate chain link has to pass through a 3/4 inch gap, and you need 1-1/8 inch of vertical clearance above the body. On a standard heavy hasp that is fine; on a thick shrouded hasp or a doubled chain, measure first. Body is 2 inches wide.
4) I need padlocks all opened by one key, not individual keys. Is the A3260WOMK the right one to order?
No, order the keyed alike version instead. The A3260WOMK is keyed different under a master, so every lock gets its own change key. If you want one key to open the whole group, that is the A3260WOKA, or A3260WOKAMK if you also want a master key above the group. If you are pinning the cores yourself in-house, the A3260WOUN ships uncombinated. All four are the same solid steel body without cylinder.
5) Is the A3260 the right padlock for electrical lockout tagout?
No. The A3260 is a solid steel body lock for gates, fences, self storage, lockers and tool cribs, and steel is conductive. For lockout on energized equipment go to a non-conductive safety padlock: ABUS 74/40 is an insulated safety padlock with a 6-pin cylinder, 1/4 inch shackle and 1-1/2 inch body, the ABUS 76/40 is a plastic-covered aluminum core lock at 1/4 inch shackle, and the ABUS 72/30 is an anodized aluminum safety padlock, 1-1/4 inch body with a 3/16 inch shackle.
6) What padlock can I use instead of the American Lock A3260WOMK if I need a removable core lock that ships with a stainless steel shackle?
The American Lock A3260WOMK is a solid steel small format interchangeable core padlock supplied without a cylinder, with a 2 inch body width, a 3/8 inch diameter shackle and a 1-1/8 inch shackle length, so the core is keyed into an existing SFIC system after purchase. The Sargent 60-858-2 is also a removable core padlock and carries a 2 inch stainless steel shackle, which is the closer match when the shackle needs to be stainless and the clearance over the hasp is taller than 1-1/8 inch. Both are cored after the fact rather than pre-keyed at the factory.
7) Which padlock should I use on an exposed gate or yard fitting if the American Lock A3260WOMK steel body is a corrosion concern?
The American Lock A3260WOMK uses a chrome plated solid steel body in a silver finish with a 3/8 inch diameter shackle, and is sold without a cylinder for small format interchangeable coring. The Medeco 521 G8R is a weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body and is likewise supplied less its pop-out cylinder, so it keeps the same buy-the-body-then-core workflow while putting stainless rather than plated steel in the weather. Choose by the environment the lock hangs in rather than by the keying, since both are cylinder-less bodies.
8) I do not run an interchangeable core system - what padlock do I buy instead of the American Lock A3260WOMK?
The American Lock A3260WOMK arrives without a cylinder, so it only makes sense where small format cores are already on hand to key it into an existing system. Where there is no core program, the Schlage KS23D/KS23F is a brass padlock with a 5/16 inch diameter shackle, and the Sargent 758 is a key retaining padlock in a US4 satin brass finish; both are complete locks rather than bodies waiting on a core. The trade is that the A3260WOMK can be rekeyed by swapping a core, while a conventional padlock is rekeyed at the cylinder.
9) What is the difference between the A3260, A3261 and A3262 interchangeable core padlocks?
They are the same 2 inch solid steel SFIC padlock body in different shackle heights. The A3260 is the short one at 1-1/8 inch clearance, and the A3261 and A3262 are the taller-shackle versions in the same family. Pick by how much you need to reach through: short shackle for a tight hasp and less to attack with a cutter, taller shackle for a chain, a gate loop or a locker hasp that stands off. All three are offered without cylinder in keyed different, keyed alike, uncombinated, and master keyed variations.
10) How tough is the American Lock A3260 padlock body and shackle for an outdoor security gate?
Case hardened chrome plated solid steel body, 2 inches wide, with a hardened boron alloy shackle for cut resistance, and a dual stainless steel ball bearing locking mechanism that resists pulling and prying. Solid steel rather than laminated, so it resists cutting, sawing and corrosion. American Lock lists it for security gates and fences, self storage units and lockers, tool cribs and secured storage. It is a commercial-duty lock, silver in appearance from the chrome plating.
11) Can I get the A3260 padlock with a chain attached so it does not get lost or walk off the gate?
Yes. The A3260WOMK can be ordered with a #40 sash chain, 9 inches (229mm) long, zinc plated, or with no chain at all. The chain option is what you want on a gate or a piece of equipment where you do not want the open lock set down and lost. Same body either way.
12) How many keys come with each American Lock A3260WOMK padlock, and can I order it with no keys?
Key count is a choice at order: 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 keys per lock, with 2 keys the standard. Zero keys is the one people miss and it is genuinely useful. If your locksmith or facilities shop is cutting and stamping keys off your own system, order 0 and skip paying for keys you will throw away.
13) What is a good alternative to the American Lock A3260 if I want a removable core padlock from a different brand?
Sargent's 60-858-2 is the closest peer, a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle, and Sargent's 758 and 858 cover key retaining and non-key retaining standard padlocks in US4 satin brass. Medeco's 521 G8R is a weather-tight solid stainless steel body sold less pop-out cylinder, which is the one to look at for wash-down or marine exposure. The A3260 stays the pick when your building already runs SFIC and you want the padlock on the same core.
14) Is an ABUS 72/30 safety padlock an equivalent to the American Lock A3260WOMK?
No - they are built for different jobs. 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, sized for lockout/tagout use where the padlock identifies a worker on an isolated energy source. The American Lock A3260WOMK is a solid steel commercial padlock with a 2 inch body and a 3/8 inch shackle, supplied without a cylinder so it can be cored into a small format interchangeable core keying system. A safety padlock will not carry the same steel body or shackle diameter, and a security padlock is not a lockout device.
15) What is the alternative to the American Lock A3260WOMK if I want an audit trail instead of mechanical master keying?
The American Lock A3260WOMK is a mechanical padlock keyed different under a master key, supplied without a cylinder so a small format interchangeable core sets the keying. The Medeco 54515G XT is an electronic indoor/outdoor padlock supplied with its cylinder, non-key retaining, with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter - it replaces the mechanical master key hierarchy with electronic credentials. Pick the A3260WOMK when the padlock has to fall under the same master key as the door locks, and the 54515G when access needs to be managed electronically.
16) Which padlock keeps the key captive while the lock is open, compared with the American Lock A3260WOMK?
Key retention depends on the core fitted to the American Lock A3260WOMK, since it ships without a cylinder and takes a small format interchangeable core. Where retention has to be settled at the padlock itself, the Sargent 758 is a key retaining padlock in US4 satin brass, and the Sargent 858 is the non-key retaining padlock with a stainless steel shackle in the same US4 satin brass finish. Key retaining suits gates and cages where a padlock left hanging open must not lose its key; non-key retaining suits rounds where one key opens many locks in sequence.
17) What has a thicker shackle than the American Lock A3260WOMK for a heavier hasp?
The American Lock A3260WOMK carries a 3/8 inch diameter shackle with a 3/4 inch shackle width and a 1-1/8 inch shackle length under a 2 inch wide body. For a larger shackle section, the Medeco 5260 is a brass body padlock with a 7/16 inch shackle diameter in satin chrome. Measure the hasp eye before ordering, because a 7/16 inch shackle will not pass a hasp drilled for 3/8 inch.
18) Can I substitute the Sargent 82-856 for the American Lock A3260WOMK on the same key system?
Not without changing the keying platform. The American Lock A3260WOMK is supplied without a cylinder and accepts a small format interchangeable core, so it joins a master key system that is already running SFIC cores. The Sargent 82-856 is a non-key retaining padlock with a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case and a stainless steel shackle built on the KESO platform, which is its own key system rather than an interchangeable core. The body sizes are close, but the cylinder platforms are not interchangeable.
19) How do American Lock A3260 padlocks pack for a large facility order?
They come 6 to a shelf pack and 24 to a master carton. If you are standardizing padlocks across a campus or a portfolio of buildings, that is the count to build the order around, and it keeps the cores and keying request in even lots.
20) Is there a padlock like the American Lock A3260WOMK that will not mark up a painted or finished surface?
The American Lock A3260WOMK has a bare chrome plated solid steel body in silver, which can scuff a painted locker or door face it swings against. The ABUS 76/40 is a plastic-covered aluminum core padlock with a 1/4 inch shackle diameter and a body about 1-37/64 inches wide, and the ABUS 74/40 is an insulated padlock with a 6-pin cylinder, a 1/4 inch shackle and a 1-1/2 inch body - both put a covered body between the lock and the surface. They are narrower and use a smaller shackle than the 2 inch, 3/8 inch shackle A3260WOMK.
