American Lock A31KA-25845 Aluminum Keyed Alike Padlock

Product Description

The AMERICAN LOCK A31KA-25845 is a keyed-alike aluminum padlock built for light-duty security applications where consistent keying across multiple locks is required. The rectangular body measures 1-1/2 inches wide and 3/4 inches thick and is constructed from aluminum for a lightweight, corrosion-resistant profile. The shackle is boron alloy, 1/4 inch in diameter, with a 3/4 inch width and 1-1/2 inch height, providing adequate clearance for standard hasps and staples. A 5-pin non-rekeyable cylinder delivers reliable key control. Licensed tradespeople, facilities maintenance techs, and service contractors install this padlock where matched keying across a set of locks simplifies access management.

This padlock suits residential and light commercial applications including electrical panels, HVAC equipment enclosures, gate hasps, storage units, and tool cabinets. The keyed-alike configuration means multiple A31KA-25845 units can be operated with a single key, reducing the key burden for technicians managing several secured points on a job site or facility. The gray aluminum body keeps overall weight low at 0.416 pounds, making it practical for portable or overhead applications where a heavy steel body is unnecessary.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no special tools — insert the shackle through the hasp or staple and close until the locking mechanism engages. Before securing electrical panels or equipment enclosures, confirm power is de-energized and lockout/tagout (LOTO) procedures are followed in accordance with OSHA 1910.147. Do not force the shackle or use the padlock as a load-bearing fastener. Inspect the shackle and body for wear or deformation at each service interval.
