American Lock A40KA-38576 Steel Keyed Alike Padlock

Product Description

The AMERICAN LOCK A40KA-38576 is a steel-body padlock designed for industrial and commercial locking applications where multiple locks must operate on the same key. The rectangular steel body measures 1-1/2 inches wide and 3/4 inches thick, providing solid resistance to forced entry. The shackle is manufactured from boron alloy steel, offering hardened cut resistance, and measures 1/4 inch in diameter with a 3/4-inch clearance width and 1-inch height. A 5-pin tumbler cylinder delivers reliable pick resistance. Licensed tradespeople and facilities maintenance personnel use this lock to secure panels, gates, hasps, and equipment enclosures where keyed-alike master-key discipline is required.

This padlock is suited for facilities management, HVAC equipment lockout, electrical panel lockout-tagout (LOTO) programs, and general industrial site security. Its keyed-alike designation means it operates with the same key as other locks sharing the A40KA-38576 key series, simplifying key management across multiple lock points on a single job site or building. The non-rekeyable cylinder keeps the key series fixed, making it appropriate for permanent or long-term installations where the keying configuration will not need to change.

Installation Notes

Installation of this padlock requires no tools beyond the hasp or anchor hardware it secures. When used in LOTO applications, follow OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 lockout-tagout procedures and verify the lock is applied only after the energy source has been fully isolated and de-energized. Do not force the shackle closed on an oversized hasp staple, as this can damage the locking mechanism. Inspect shackle and body for wear or corrosion periodically in outdoor or high-moisture environments.
