American Lock A32KA-27744 Aluminum Padlock Keyed Alike

Product Description

The AMERICAN LOCK A32KA-27744 is a keyed-alike aluminum padlock designed for light-duty security applications across trade and industrial environments. The rectangular gray aluminum body measures 1.5 inches wide and 0.75 inches thick, keeping overall weight low at 0.466 pounds. The boron alloy shackle measures 0.25 inches in diameter with a 0.75-inch width and 3-inch height, providing solid cut resistance relative to the padlock class. With 5 pins in the cylinder, this lock offers reliable key control for facilities managers, contractors, and service technicians who need multiple locks operating on the same key.

This padlock suits applications where multiple units must be keyed alike for convenience across a job site, equipment room, or utility enclosure. Common uses include securing electrical panels, HVAC equipment access doors, tool storage, and gate hasps in residential and light commercial settings. The aluminum body keeps weight down where multiple locks are deployed simultaneously. It is a single-unit package appropriate for direct installation or as part of a larger keyed-alike set.
