American Lock AME-A3262WOKD 2KEY – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the American Lock A3262WO padlock come with a core, or do I have to supply my own?
The A3262WO ships without a cylinder, so you supply the small format interchangeable core yourself. That is what the WO in the model name means. It accepts SFIC cores in a choice of 16 keyways including Best, Arrow and Falcon, so you can key the padlock into the same system as your door locks. If you want a lock that arrives ready to use, this is not it - budget for a core and its keys on the same order.
2) I'm keying a whole property - is the A3262WO keyed alike or keyed different?
The A3262WO (A3262WOKD) is keyed different, meaning each padlock gets its own key. For a fleet of gates or storage units where one key should open them all, order the A3262WOKA keyed alike version instead, or A3262WOMK and A3262WOKAMK if the locks need to sit under a building master key. Since the padlock takes an SFIC core, a locksmith can also core it to your existing Best, Arrow or Falcon system rather than buying a factory keying option.
3) Can I swap an American Lock A3262WO onto a hasp that currently holds a Schlage or Medeco padlock?
Go by shackle geometry, not brand. The A3262WO uses a 3/8 inch diameter shackle, which is thicker than the 5/16 inch shackle on the Schlage KS23D/KS23F brass padlock and the Medeco 54515G, and thicker than the 1/4 inch shackles on the ABUS 74/40 and 76/40. If the existing hasp or drilled staple was sized for one of those, the 3/8 inch shackle will not pass through and you need to open the hole up or pick a thinner lock. Going the other direction, a hasp already taking 3/8 inch will take this padlock without modification.
4) What is the closest alternative to the American Lock A3262WO if I need a padlock that takes the same removable core my door locks use?
The American Lock A3262WO ships without a cylinder so you install your own small format interchangeable core, and it has a 2 inch wide solid steel body with a 3/8 inch diameter shackle. The closest removable-core alternative is the Sargent 60-858-2, a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle. Both let you pin the core to your existing system; the American Lock uses a steel body while the Sargent 60-858-2 is built on Sargent's 758/858 series platform.
5) I need a padlock for a wet or coastal gate instead of a chrome plated steel one. What should I use?
The American Lock A3262WO has a chrome plated solid steel body in a silver finish, which is intended for general commercial gate, locker and tool crib use. For constant weather exposure, the Medeco 521 G8R is a weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body, supplied less pop-out cylinder, and the ABUS T84MB/30 Nautic uses a black sleeve over the body with a 13/64 inch shackle for marine duty. The Medeco 521 G8R stays closest to the A3262WO in that it also ships without a cylinder.
6) If I want a padlock that already comes with a cylinder instead of the American Lock A3262WO, what are my options?
The American Lock A3262WO is shipped without a cylinder so the core can be added in your own keyway. If you would rather buy it already cylindered, the Schlage KS23D/KS23F is a brass padlock with a 5/16 inch diameter shackle, the Medeco 5260 is a 52 Series brass body padlock with a 7/16 inch shackle and M3 key technology in satin chrome, and the Medeco 54515G XT is an indoor/outdoor electronic padlock, non-key retaining, with a 5/16 inch shackle and cylinder included.
7) What is the difference between the A3262WO and the A3260WO or A3261WO padlocks?
All three are the same solid steel small format interchangeable core padlock body, less cylinder; the number identifies the shackle. The A3262WO carries the 3 inch long shackle. If you need a shorter shackle for a tight hasp, look at the A3260WO or A3261WO instead. Keying suffix is separate from shackle choice: KD is keyed different, KA keyed alike, UN uncombinated, and MK or KAMK for master keyed sets.
8) How many keys come with the American Lock A3262WO, and can I get it with a chain?
Key count is a choice at order: 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 keys per lock, with 2 keys the standard pick. Chain is a separate choice, either none or a #40 sash chain 9 inches (229mm) long, zinc plated, for tethering the padlock to a gate or locker so it does not walk off. Note that keys here pair with the core you supply, since the padlock itself comes without a cylinder.
9) Is this padlock tough enough for an outdoor gate that gets attacked?
The A3262WO is built for exposed commercial use: a case hardened, chrome plated solid steel body that resists cutting, sawing and corrosion, a hardened boron alloy shackle for cut resistance, and a dual stainless steel ball bearing locking mechanism that resists pulling and prying. It is classed as a commercial padlock, not a residential one. Common uses are security gates and fences, self storage units, lockers and secured storage.
10) What else could I use instead of an American Lock SFIC padlock if I'm not on a Best-style core system?
If interchangeable core is not the point, there are other commercial padlocks worth looking at. Sargent's 60-858-2 is a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle, and the Sargent 758 and 858 are standard key retaining and non key retaining padlocks in US4 satin brass. Medeco's G8R 521 is a weather-tight solid stainless steel body padlock supplied less pop-out cylinder, which is the closest thing to the A3262WO's less-cylinder approach in a marine or wash-down environment. For lockout tagout rather than security, the ABUS 72/30 anodized aluminum safety padlock with a 3/16 inch shackle is the lighter, non-conductive style tool.
11) Can I rekey the A3262WO padlock in the field without removing it from the gate?
That is the point of a small format interchangeable core padlock. With a control key you pull the core and drop in a new one, so rekeying after a tenant turnover or a lost key takes seconds and no disassembly. Because the A3262WO ships less cylinder in 16 SFIC keyway options including Best, Arrow and Falcon, you can pull cores from the same stock you use on the building's door locks.
12) Does the American Lock A3262WO retain the key when open, or should I choose something else?
Key retention on the A3262WO depends on the small format interchangeable core you install, since the padlock is supplied without a cylinder. If you need the behavior fixed by the lock itself, the Sargent 758 is a key retaining standard padlock in US4 satin brass, while the Sargent 858 and the Sargent 82-856 are non-key retaining with stainless steel shackles, the 82-856 using a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case.
13) I need audit trail and scheduled access on a padlock rather than a mechanical core like the American Lock A3262WO. What replaces it?
The American Lock A3262WO is a mechanical padlock that accepts a small format interchangeable core, so access is controlled by keying alone. For electronic control, the Medeco 54515G XT is an indoor/outdoor electronic padlock, non-key retaining, with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter and cylinder included. It is the electronic counterpart in the same gate and storage duty the A3262WO covers.
14) What should I use instead of the American Lock A3262WO if the hasp only clears a short shackle?
The American Lock A3262WO carries a 3 inch shackle length with a 3/4 inch shackle width, which needs a generous hasp opening. Where clearance is tight, the Sargent 60-858-2 is a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle and the ABUS T84MB/30 has a 1-17/64 inch body with a 13/64 inch shackle for small hasps and cabinets.
15) I need padlocks for a whole facility - how does the A3262WO pack?
Shelf packs are 6 padlocks and the master carton holds 24, which works out to four shelf packs per carton. Handy if you are standardizing gates or storage units across a site and want to order in even multiples. The finish is chrome plated silver, so the locks look consistent across a fleet of openings.
