American Lock A32 Aluminum Padlock Keyed Different

Product Description

The AMERICAN LOCK A32 is a rectangular aluminum-body padlock designed for light-duty security applications where corrosion resistance and low weight are priorities. The padlock features a 5-pin tumbler cylinder with keyed different operation, meaning each unit ships with its own unique key set and does not interchange keys with other locks in the same order. The body measures 1.5 inches wide and 0.75 inches thick. The boron alloy shackle measures 0.25 inches in diameter, 0.75 inches in width, and 3 inches in height. At 0.466 pounds, it is well-suited for applications where a full-size steel padlock would be unnecessarily heavy.

This padlock is commonly used by HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and facility maintenance crews for lockout/tagout (LOTO) procedures, equipment enclosures, storage lockers, gates, and tool storage. The aluminum body resists rust in outdoor and humid environments. The gray rectangular body provides a low-profile fit on standard hasps and staples used in light commercial and residential service applications.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no tools — insert the shackle through the hasp or staple and press closed until the locking mechanism engages. Always verify the shackle is fully seated before leaving equipment unattended. For lockout/tagout applications, follow OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 control of hazardous energy procedures. Ensure power, pressure, or flow is fully isolated before applying the lock.
