American Lock AME-A3260WOUN 2KEY – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the American Lock A3260WOUN padlock come with a core, or do I have to buy the cylinder separately?
No core. The A3260WO series ships without a cylinder, and this uncombinated version is meant to receive a small format interchangeable core you supply or key yourself. Budget for a SFIC core and the control key on top of the padlock. If you want it delivered already keyed, look at the keyed different (A3260WOKD), keyed alike (A3260WOKA), or master keyed (A3260WOMK, A3260WOKAMK) versions of the same padlock instead.
2) Can I key this American Lock SFIC padlock to match my Best, Arrow or Falcon door locks?
Yes. The A3260WO padlock takes a small format interchangeable core and is offered in 16 SFIC keyways including Best, Arrow and Falcon, so it drops into an existing facility keying system and runs on the same key as the doors. That is the whole point of ordering it uncombinated: your locksmith pins the core to your system rather than you living with a factory key.
3) Will a 1-1/8 inch shackle padlock fit through my chain link gate or hasp?
Check the gap you need to span before ordering. The shackle on the A3260WO is 1-1/8 inches tall with a 3/4 inch clearance between the legs and a 3/8 inch diameter. That 3/4 inch spread is the limiting number: a hasp eye, chain link, or lockout tab thicker than that will not pass. On a chain link gate with a heavy carriage, or through two links of chain, you will usually want a longer shackle. The 3/8 inch shackle diameter also means the staple or hasp hole has to accept 3/8 inch stock.
4) Is a solid steel SFIC padlock the right choice for electrical lockout tagout?
No, use a dedicated safety padlock. The A3260WO is a conductive solid steel padlock built for gates, storage and tool cribs. For lockout on energized equipment you want a non conductive or insulated body: the ABUS 74/40 is an insulated safety padlock with a 6 pin cylinder, 1/4 inch shackle diameter and 1-1/2 inch body, the ABUS 76/40 is a plastic covered aluminum core padlock at 1/4 inch shackle diameter, and the ABUS 72/30 is an anodized aluminum safety padlock with a 1-1/4 inch body and 3/16 inch shackle.
5) Will the A3260WO accept a large format interchangeable core?
No. It is built for small format interchangeable cores only, the figure eight SFIC format, in 16 keyway choices including Best, Arrow and Falcon. A large format core, the kind used on many Schlage and Corbin systems, will not seat in it. If your facility runs LFIC, this is not the padlock to standardize on.
6) What is the closest equivalent to the American Lock A3260WOUN if the facility is standardized on Sargent cores?
The Sargent 60-858-2 is a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle, so it takes a Sargent core the way the A3260WOUN takes a small format interchangeable core. The American Lock A3260WOUN ships without a cylinder and uncombinated, with a 2 inch wide solid steel body, a 3/8 inch diameter shackle and a 1-1/8 inch shackle length. Choose on which core family the rest of the keying already uses.
7) What padlock should be used instead of the A3260WOUN when the lock needs a longer shackle to clear a hasp or chain link?
The A3260WOUN shackle is 1-1/8 inch tall with a 3/4 inch clearance width, which is a short shackle meant to sit tight to the hasp. Where more vertical clearance is needed, the Sargent 60-858-2 carries a 2 inch stainless steel shackle, and the Sargent 858 also uses a stainless steel shackle in a non-key-retaining padlock.
8) What is the difference between the American Lock A3260WOUN and the Medeco 521 G8R padlock?
Both are supplied less cylinder, so both go into a facility that keys its own locks. The Medeco 521 G8R is a weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body and takes a pop-out cylinder. The American Lock A3260WOUN has a chrome plated solid steel body 2 inch wide and accepts a small format interchangeable core. Pick by which cylinder format the site already stocks and whether the opening is exposed.
9) Which padlock comes ready to use if a core is not going to be installed in the A3260WOUN?
The A3260WOUN is supplied without a cylinder and uncombinated, so it needs a core and a keying operation before it will lock. A padlock that arrives with its cylinder in place includes the Sargent 758, a key retaining padlock in US4 satin brass, the Schlage KS23D/KS23F brass padlock with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter, and the Medeco 5260, a 52 Series brass body padlock with a 7/16 inch shackle diameter and M3 key technology in satin chrome.
10) What padlock should be used instead of the A3260WOUN on a marine dock or a wash-down area?
The A3260WOUN body is steel with a chrome plated finish, built around a small format core for keying with the building. For exposed and wet locations the alternatives are the Medeco 521 G8R, a weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body, the ABUS T84MB/30 Nautic with a black sleeve over the body and a 13/64 inch shackle diameter, and the ABUS 76/40, a plastic-covered aluminum core padlock with a 1/4 inch shackle diameter.
11) How wide is the American Lock A3260 padlock body, and will it clear a standard hasp?
The body measures 2 inches wide in solid steel, chrome plated, in a silver finish. That is a full size commercial padlock case, so on a narrow hasp or a recessed lockout point it can foul the mounting. Where clearance is tight, a smaller aluminum body lock like the ABUS 72/30 at 1-1/4 inch body width is the sort of thing to look at instead, though it is a different class of lock.
12) Is this padlock tough enough for an exterior gate or a self storage unit?
That is what it is built for. Solid steel body resists cutting, sawing and corrosion, the shackle is hardened boron alloy steel for cut resistance, and 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 applications. It is classed as commercial hardware, not a residential lock.
13) Can I get a padlock with a chain attached so it does not walk off the gate?
Yes. The A3260WO 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 roll up door, a fence gate, or a truck box where an unattached lock gets set down and lost. Both chain choices are available across every key count offered.
14) How many keys come with the American Lock A3260WOUN, and can I order it with no keys at all?
Key count is an ordering choice: 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 keys per lock, with 2 as the standard. Because the padlock is uncombinated and takes a core you supply, 0 keys per lock is the normal pick for a locksmith or a facility keying it into an existing SFIC system. Order extra keys only if you want American Lock cutting them rather than your own shop.
15) What is the difference between the American Lock A3260WO, A3261WO and A3262WO padlocks?
They are the same solid steel SFIC padlock family in different shackle configurations. The A3260WO carries a 1-1/8 inch shackle at 3/8 inch diameter, which is the short shackle. The A3261WO and A3262WO are the longer shackle members of the same series, and each of the three comes in the same keying choices: uncombinated, keyed different, keyed alike, and master keyed. Pick by the gap you need to span, then pick the keying.
16) What other removable core padlocks could I use instead of the American Lock A3260WO?
Sargent's 60-858-2 is the closest interchangeable core alternative, a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle, so it suits an opening where the short 1-1/8 inch American shackle will not reach. The Medeco 521 G8R is a weather tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body, supplied less pop out cylinder, which is the one to consider for wet or coastal exposure. If you do not need interchangeable core at all, the Sargent 758 is a key retaining standard padlock in US4 satin brass and the 858 is the non key retaining version of it.
17) Is an ABUS 72/30 safety padlock a substitute for the American Lock A3260WOUN?
They are built for different jobs. The ABUS 72/30 is an anodized aluminum safety padlock with a 1-1/4 inch body and a 3/16 inch shackle diameter, the light body used for lockout tagout. The A3260WOUN is a solid steel commercial padlock, 2 inch wide with a 3/8 inch shackle, supplied without a cylinder so a small format interchangeable core can be installed. A lockout lock is not keyed into a building core system.
18) For a key control program, what is the difference between a key retaining and a non-key retaining padlock alongside the A3260WOUN?
Key retaining means the key cannot be withdrawn while the shackle is open, which forces the lock back onto the hasp before the key comes out. The Sargent 758 is key retaining; the Sargent 858 and the Sargent 82-856, which has a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case and a stainless steel shackle, are non-key retaining, as is the Medeco 54515G XT electronic indoor/outdoor padlock with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter. The American Lock A3260WOUN is ordered uncombinated and without a cylinder, so its key behavior follows the small format core installed in it.
19) Is the Medeco 54515G XT a drop-in replacement for the American Lock A3260WOUN?
No. The Medeco 54515G XT is an electronic indoor/outdoor padlock supplied with its cylinder, so access is managed through the XT system rather than by cutting a key. The American Lock A3260WOUN is a mechanical padlock supplied without a cylinder and uncombinated, and it is keyed by installing a small format interchangeable core that matches the door locks. Swapping one for the other changes how the opening is credentialed, not just the hardware.
20) The A3260WOUN body is too wide for a narrow hasp. What smaller padlocks are available?
The A3260WOUN body is 2 inch wide. Narrower bodies include the ABUS 76/40 at 1 37/64 inch with a 1/4 inch shackle diameter, the ABUS 74/40 insulated safety padlock at 1-1/2 inch with a 6-pin cylinder and 1/4 inch shackle diameter, the ABUS 72/30 at 1-1/4 inch with a 3/16 inch shackle diameter, and the ABUS T84MB/30 at 1 17/64 inch. The shackle diameters on those are thinner than the 3/8 inch on the A3260WOUN.
21) I need to standardize padlocks across a whole facility. How do these ship in bulk?
The A3260WO padlocks come 6 to a shelf pack and 24 to a master carton, which is the practical unit for a rekeying rollout or a multi building standardization. Ordering them uncombinated and coring them yourself keeps every lock on one system as you scale it out.
