American Lock A11KA-33872 Aluminum Keyed Alike Padlock

Product Description

The AMERICAN LOCK A11KA-33872 is a keyed-alike aluminum padlock designed for applications where multiple locks must operate on the same key. The rectangular body measures 1-3/4 inches wide and 3/4 inches thick, providing a compact, lightweight profile at 0.5 pounds. The shackle is constructed from boron alloy steel, offering solid cut resistance, with a 5/16-inch diameter, 3/4-inch width, and 2-inch height clearance. A 5-pin cylinder delivers reliable key control. Licensed contractors, facilities managers, and maintenance technicians commonly deploy this padlock on equipment panels, gate hasps, and lockout/tagout stations.

This padlock is suited for light-to-medium security scenarios in both commercial and industrial settings. Its keyed-alike configuration makes it practical for multi-lock installations where a single key must open several padlocks on the same job site or facility. Common applications include electrical panel lockouts, HVAC equipment cabinets, storage units, and gate chains. The aluminum body keeps weight low while resisting corrosion in indoor and sheltered outdoor environments.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no tools beyond attaching the shackle through a hasp, cable, or lockout device. For lockout/tagout applications, follow OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 control of hazardous energy procedures and ensure all energy sources are isolated before securing the lock. Do not force the shackle into an oversized or misaligned hasp, as this can damage the locking mechanism. Inspect the shackle and cylinder periodically for signs of wear, corrosion, or tampering.
