American Lock AME-A3261WOKAMK 2KEY – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the American Lock A3261WOKAMK padlock come with a cylinder or core?
No core is included. The A3261WOKAMK ships as a padlock body only, so you supply the small format interchangeable core from whatever keyway your building already runs. The body accepts SFIC cores in a choice of 16 keyways, including Best, Arrow and Falcon, which is how you get the padlock onto the same key system as your door locks.
2) What does keyed alike master keyed mean on the A3261WOKAMK padlock?
Keyed alike master keyed means every padlock in the order operates on one common change key, and a separate master key above it opens all of them. For a property manager that means maintenance staff carry a single key for a run of gates or storage units while a supervisor master still gets in. American Lock also builds the same A3261 body keyed different, keyed different master keyed, keyed alike, and uncombinated if you need a different keying scheme.
3) Will the A3261 padlock shackle fit through a standard hasp on a gate or storage unit?
The shackle is 3/8 inch diameter with a 3/4 inch clearance between the legs and a 2 inch shackle length, on a body 2 inches wide. Measure the hasp eye: it needs to pass a 3/8 inch bar, and the material you are locking through has to fit inside the 3/4 inch opening. It is built for security gates and fences, self storage units and lockers, tool cribs and secured storage.
4) How many keys do I get with the A3261WOKAMK, and can I order it with a chain?
Key count is something you pick at order: 0, 1, 2 (standard), 3 or 4 keys per lock. Since the lock is supplied without a core, the 0 key option is what you take if your locksmith is pinning and keying the cores in house. Each key count can also be ordered with a #40 sash chain, 9 inches (229mm) long, zinc plated, so the padlock stays tethered to the hasp or gate frame and does not get pocketed.
5) What is the closest alternative to the American Lock A3261WOKAMK if I need a padlock that takes the same removable core as my Sargent door cylinders?
The Sargent 60-858-2 is a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle, so it accepts a Sargent removable core the same way the A3261WOKAMK accepts a small format interchangeable core. The American Lock A3261WOKAMK ships without a cylinder and has a 2 inch shackle length and 2 inch body width, so the shackle clearance is comparable between the two.
6) I need a padlock that arrives ready to use with a cylinder already in it instead of the American Lock A3261WOKAMK - what should I order?
The A3261WOKAMK is supplied without a cylinder, so it needs a small format interchangeable core added before it will operate. If you want a lock that comes with the cylinder in place, the Medeco 5260 is a 52 Series brass body padlock with a 7/16 inch shackle diameter and M3 key technology in a satin chrome finish, and the Schlage KS23D/KS23F is a brass padlock with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter.
7) Is this padlock tough enough for outdoor gates and fencing?
The body is case hardened, chrome plated solid steel, 2 inches wide, which resists cutting, sawing and corrosion, and the shackle is hardened boron alloy steel for cut resistance. A dual stainless steel ball bearing locking mechanism holds the shackle against pulling and prying. It is rated commercial duty and finished silver. American Lock lists security gates and fences among its intended uses.
8) What information does my locksmith need to send when ordering keyed alike master keyed padlocks?
You need to supply the key code at order, which is a required entry on the A3261WOKAMK. That code ties the padlocks into your existing master key system. Decide keyway (Best, Arrow, Falcon or one of the other 16 SFIC options) at the same time, because the cores are bought separately.
9) How do the A3260, A3261 and A3262 solid steel SFIC padlocks differ?
They are the same solid steel small format interchangeable core family from American Lock, offered in three body sizes, each available without a core in five keying arrangements: keyed different, uncombinated, keyed alike, keyed different master keyed, and keyed alike master keyed. The A3261WOKAMK is the middle body in the keyed alike master keyed arrangement, with a 2 inch wide body and 2 inch shackle.
10) What other removable core padlocks could I use instead of the American Lock A3261?
If you want a removable core padlock with a similar 2 inch shackle, the Sargent 60-858-2 is a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle. Sargent also offers the 758 in a key retaining version and the 858 as non-key retaining, both with stainless steel shackles in US4 satin brass. Those are brass-bodied locks rather than the solid steel body of the A3261, and they run Sargent keying rather than a small format interchangeable core in a Best, Arrow or Falcon keyway.
11) Is the ABUS 72/30 a substitute for the American Lock A3261WOKAMK on a gate or storage cage?
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 and intended for lockout/tagout use on energy isolation points. The American Lock A3261WOKAMK is a solid steel commercial padlock with a 2 inch body width and a 3/8 inch shackle diameter, and it accepts a small format interchangeable core so it keys into an existing facility system. For security gates, fences, self-storage units and tool cribs, the solid steel body and the heavier shackle are the relevant difference.
12) What should I use instead of the American Lock A3261WOKAMK on an outdoor or wash-down application?
The A3261WOKAMK uses a chrome plated solid steel body. Where you want a different body material for exposure, the Medeco 521 G8R is a weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body supplied less the pop-out cylinder, so it still lets you fit your own cylinder. 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, and the ABUS T84MB/30 Nautic uses a black sleeve over the body with a 13/64 inch shackle diameter and a 1-17/64 inch body width.
13) Which padlocks are key retaining if the American Lock A3261WOKAMK is not what I need for a door that must stay locked?
The Sargent 758 is a key retaining standard padlock in a US4 satin brass finish, so the key cannot be removed while the shackle is open. If you want the key free while the lock hangs open, the Sargent 858 is non-key retaining with a stainless steel shackle in the same US4 satin brass finish, and the Sargent 82-856 is a non-key retaining KESO Series padlock with a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case and stainless steel shackle. The American Lock A3261WOKAMK has a chrome plated steel body in silver.
14) Can I get an electronic padlock with audit capability instead of the mechanical American Lock A3261WOKAMK?
The Medeco 54515G is an XT electronic indoor/outdoor padlock, non-key retaining, with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter and the cylinder included. It runs on an electronic credential rather than a mechanical key. The American Lock A3261WOKAMK is a mechanical keyed padlock supplied without a cylinder so it can be cored to a small format interchangeable core system, with a 3/8 inch shackle diameter.
15) How many padlocks come in a case if I'm buying for a whole facility?
Shelf pack is 6 and the master carton holds 24, which is the unit to think in when you are standardizing a run of storage units, lockers or tool cribs across a site.
