Schlage KS43D3200 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Schlage KS43 padlock come with a cylinder, or do I have to order the core separately?
The KS43 ships less core, prepped for a full-size interchangeable core (FSIC). You supply the SIC core, which is what lets the padlock be keyed into the same Schlage key system as your door hardware, new or existing, so one key covers doors and padlocks. Budget for a core on every padlock you order.
2) Can I master key Schlage KS43 padlocks into the same system as my building's door locks?
That is the whole point of the FSIC prep. Core the KS43 to your existing Schlage system and the same master or grand master that opens the doors opens the padlocks on the gates, cages, electrical panels and storage. For a property manager or facility with an established Schlage system, that removes the separate padlock key ring entirely.
3) Is the Schlage KS43 the right padlock for lockout tagout on machinery?
No. The KS43 is a keyed security padlock for gates, cages and storage, and a brass body conducts. For electrical lockout tagout you want a non-conductive safety padlock, such as the ABUS 74/40 insulated safety padlock with a 6-pin cylinder and 1/4 inch shackle, or the ABUS 76/40 plastic-covered aluminum core padlock. Those are built for the LOTO application; the KS43 is not.
4) What is the closest equivalent to the Schlage KS43 padlock if the facility keys Sargent rather than Schlage?
The Sargent 60-858-2 removable core padlock is the counterpart move. Like the KS43, which is supplied prepped for a full-size interchangeable core and shipped less core so it can be pinned into an existing key system, the 60-858-2 is a removable core padlock and carries a 2 inch stainless steel shackle. The KS43 is offered in 1-1/2 inch and 2 inch shackle clearances, so the 2 inch clearance version lines up with the Sargent on hasp reach. For a security integrator standardizing a site, the deciding factor is which cylinder platform the rest of the doors already use, since both locks exist to be keyed into that system rather than carry their own key.
5) What should I order instead of the Schlage KS43 if I need a padlock that arrives with a cylinder in it?
The KS43 is a full-size interchangeable core prep supplied less core, so a core has to be pinned and installed before it locks. If the job needs a lock that ships complete, the Medeco 5260 is a 52 Series brass body padlock with a 7/16 inch shackle diameter and M3 key technology in satin chrome, and the Sargent 758 is a key retaining standard padlock in US4 satin brass. Both are ordered as finished locks rather than as a core prep. Property managers replacing a handful of padlocks on gates and utility cabinets usually want that; a facility running one master key system across doors and padlocks wants the KS43 core prep instead.
6) What is the option if I need audit trail or scheduled access on a padlock instead of a mechanical Schlage KS43?
The Medeco 54515G is an XT electronic indoor/outdoor padlock with a 5/16 inch shackle diameter, non-key retaining, supplied with cylinder. It is the electronic-credential path where the KS43 is purely mechanical, keyed through a full-size interchangeable core into an existing Schlage key system. A site that wants padlocks on the same master key as the door hardware stays with the KS43; a site that wants to control who opens which lock by time or revoke a lost credential without rekeying goes to the XT platform. Note the shackle difference: 5/16 inch on the Medeco against 3/8 inch on the KS43, which matters where the hasp is drilled tight.
7) How big is the Schlage KS43 padlock body? Will it fit in a tight hasp recess?
Body measures 1-15/16 W x 2-3/16 H x 7/8 D inches. That is a compact commercial body, narrower than a 2 inch case padlock, so it clears most standard hasps. The 7/8 inch depth is the one to check against a recessed or shrouded hasp pocket.
8) Is the Schlage KS43 padlock any good outdoors on gates and yard equipment?
It is a brass padlock, 606 satin brass finish, and brass is the corrosion-resistant end of the padlock range, so it holds up on exterior gates and fencing better than a plain steel case. The shackle is molybdenum hardened steel with a double deadbolt locking mechanism, so both legs lock and cutting one leg does not open it. Schlage states it meets or exceeds ASTM standards for standard steel shackle, shackle cutting and corrosion resistance.
9) Should I buy an FSIC padlock like the Schlage KS43 or a standard keyed padlock?
Choose by whether you run a key system. An interchangeable-core padlock like the KS43 is for facilities already on a Schlage SIC system, where the padlock has to sit in the same hierarchy as the doors and be rekeyed in seconds with a control key when someone leaves. If you just need a padlock that arrives keyed and working, a conventional one is less to buy and less to manage. Schlage's commercial padlocks in conventional form come with a 6-pin solid brass cylinder, C keyway, keyed different unless specified, with two nickel silver keys.
10) What else does ZenSupply carry if I need an interchangeable core padlock but not on a Schlage system?
For a Sargent keyway facility, the Sargent 60-858-2 is a removable core padlock with a 2 inch stainless steel shackle, the same idea as the KS43 with the core matched to a Sargent system. 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 look at for exposed or wash-down locations rather than a brass body.
11) Is the Schlage KS43 shackle thick enough to stop bolt cutters on a jobsite gate?
3/8 inch diameter molybdenum hardened steel is the heavy end of what these padlocks run, and it is meaningfully more shackle than the light-duty locks in the same family of products, such as the ABUS 72/30 at 3/16 inch or the ABUS 74/40 and 76/40 at 1/4 inch. Schlage rates it to meet or exceed ASTM standards for shackle cutting resistance, and the double deadbolt mechanism means a cut has to be made on both legs to free the lock.
12) Which padlock holds up better than a Schlage KS43 in wet or coastal exposure?
The KS43 has a brass body in a 606 brass finish and a hardened steel shackle that meets ASTM standards for corrosion resistance, which covers ordinary exterior use. For sustained weather or salt exposure, the Medeco 521 G8R is a weather-tight padlock with a solid stainless steel body, ordered less pop-out cylinder, and the ABUS T84MB Nautic carries a black sleeve over the body with a 13/64 inch shackle diameter and a 1-17/64 inch body width. The G8R is the one that stays in the same conversation as the KS43 on size and duty; the T84MB is a much smaller lock for lighter marine hardware.
13) How does the Schlage KS43 differ from the Sargent 858 padlock?
The Sargent 858 is a non-key retaining padlock with a stainless steel shackle in US4 satin brass, and the 82-856 is a non-key retaining lock on the KESO platform with a 2 inch by 2 inch brass case and stainless steel shackle. Non-key retaining means the key comes out with the lock open. The KS43 is supplied less core with a full-size interchangeable core prep, so its key retention behavior follows the core and cylinder you pin into it rather than being fixed by the lock body. For a property manager who wants the key to stay captive while the lock is off the hasp, that distinction decides which one goes on the order.
14) Can the shackle on the Schlage KS43 be swapped if I ordered the wrong clearance or bent one?
The KS43 uses Schlage's patented interchangeable shackle design, so the lock disassembles and the shackle comes out. You are not throwing the padlock away over a damaged shackle, and a fleet of them can be re-shackled rather than replaced.
15) Will a 606 satin brass padlock match the brass door hardware in my building?
606 is satin brass, the standard BHMA finish designation, and the KS43 body is brass rather than plated, so it wears to a consistent look instead of showing plating loss at the corners. If your openings are specified 606, the padlocks on the same property will read as the same family of hardware.
