American Lock AME-A3261WOUN 2KEY – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the American Lock A3261WOUN padlock come with a core, or do I need to order the cylinder separately?
No core is supplied. The A3261WOUN ships as a body and shackle only, uncombinated, so you install your own small format interchangeable core to match the keying already running in your building. That is the point of the WO (without cylinder) version: a locksmith or facility with an existing SFIC system pins and keys it to their own system instead of living with factory keying.
2) Which interchangeable core keyways will fit this American Lock solid steel SFIC padlock?
It takes a Small Format Interchangeable Core, with 16 SFIC keyway options offered including Best, Arrow and Falcon. If your doors are already on an SFIC system in one of those keyways, the same core family drops into the padlock so the padlock rides on the same key as the openings.
3) The A3261WOUN is too heavy for lockout/tagout tags on an electrical panel - what else is there?
The A3261WOUN is a 2 inch wide chrome plated solid steel body with a 3/8 inch shackle diameter, built for gates, fences, storage units and tool cribs. For lighter duty safety and lockout use, the ABUS 72/30 is an anodized aluminum safety padlock with a 1-1/4 inch body width and 3/16 inch shackle diameter, and the ABUS 74/40 is an insulated safety padlock with a 6-pin cylinder, 1-1/2 inch body width and 1/4 inch shackle diameter. The ABUS 76/40 is a plastic covered aluminum core padlock at 1 37/64 inch width with a 1/4 inch shackle.
4) What is the closest alternative to the American Lock A3261WOUN if I need a removable core padlock with a 2 inch shackle?
The Sargent 60-858-2 is a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle, which matches the A3261WOUN's 2 inch shackle length and its interchangeable core approach. The difference is the shackle material: the A3261WOUN uses a hardened boron alloy steel shackle in a chrome plated solid steel body, while the Sargent 60-858-2 uses stainless steel. Both are keyed by dropping in a core, so either can be brought onto an existing core-based master key system.
5) I need a padlock that arrives ready to use with a cylinder already in it - what should I order instead of the A3261WOUN?
The A3261WOUN ships without a cylinder and uncombinated, so it needs a small format interchangeable core supplied and combinated separately before it will operate. If you want a lock that comes complete, 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 Medeco 54515G XT is an indoor/outdoor padlock supplied with cylinder and a 5/16 inch shackle diameter. The Schlage KS23D/KS23F is a brass bodied padlock with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter.
6) What size is the body on the American Lock A3261 padlock?
Two inches wide, solid steel, chrome plated, silver in appearance. Solid body rather than laminated, which is what gives it its cut and saw resistance, and the plating handles outdoor exposure on gates and yard storage.
7) What is the difference between the A3260WO, A3261WO and A3262WO American Lock padlocks?
They are the same solid steel SFIC padlock family, separated by shackle length. The A3261 carries a 2 inch shackle. Within each of those numbers you then pick the keying state: WOUN uncombinated, WOKD keyed different, WOKA keyed alike, WOMK master keyed different, WOKAMK keyed alike and master keyed. If you are pinning your own cores, UN is the one you want.
8) Can I get this padlock with a chain for a gate or meter application?
Yes. It can be ordered with no chain, or with a #40 sash chain, 9 inches (229mm) long, zinc plated, attached. The chain option is useful where you do not want the lock walking off the gate or the cabinet once it is opened.
9) How many keys come with an uncombinated American Lock SFIC padlock?
You choose the key count at order: 0, 1, 2 (standard), 3, or 4 keys per lock. Note that these are uncombinated locks without a core, so shops cutting their own keys on their own SFIC system commonly take the 0 key option.
10) Is this padlock suitable for outdoor gates and self-storage units, or is it an indoor lock?
It is built for commercial outdoor duty: security gates and fences, self-storage units and lockers, secured storage and tool cribs. The solid steel body resists cutting, sawing and corrosion, and the dual stainless steel ball bearing locking mechanism resists pulling and prying at the shackle.
11) What other removable core padlocks could I use instead of the American Lock A3261WOUN?
Sargent's 60-858-2 is the closest peer we carry, a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle, which matches the A3261's 2 inch shackle length. If you do not need an 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. For a stainless body weather-tight build less the cylinder, look at the Medeco 521 G8R.
12) Is a Sargent 858 padlock the same thing as the American Lock A3261WOUN?
No. The Sargent 858 is a non-key retaining standard padlock with a stainless steel shackle in a US4 satin brass finish, and the Sargent 758 is the key retaining version in the same US4 satin brass finish. The A3261WOUN differs in two ways that matter: it is supplied without a cylinder and uncombinated, so a small format interchangeable core has to go in before it works, and its body is chrome plated solid steel in a silver finish rather than brass. If you want core interchangeability from the Sargent line, the 60-858-2 removable core version is the one to look at.
13) For a coastal or wash-down location, is the A3261WOUN the right choice or should I use something else?
The A3261WOUN has a chrome plated solid steel body that the manufacturer describes as resisting cutting, sawing and corrosion, but it is an open-shackle padlock with no weather shroud. Where standing water or salt exposure is the main concern, the Medeco 521 G8R is a weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body, supplied less pop-out cylinder so it can still be keyed to your system, and the ABUS T84MB Nautic carries a black sleeve over the body with a 13/64 inch shackle diameter and 1 17/64 inch body width.
14) If I want electronic audit and access control instead of a mechanical keyed padlock, what replaces the A3261WOUN?
The A3261WOUN is a mechanical padlock that takes a small format interchangeable core and is supplied uncombinated with no cylinder. For an electronic approach on an exterior gate or remote enclosure, the Medeco 54515G XT is an electronic indoor/outdoor padlock with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter, non-key retaining, supplied with cylinder. It is not a drop-in swap - it moves the opening off your core-based key system entirely.
15) How many of these padlocks come in a case if I am buying for a whole property?
Shelf pack is 6 and the master carton holds 24. Useful if you are standardizing a storage facility or a fence line and want to keep spares on the shelf in matching stock.
