American Lock A50 Steel Padlock 2 in Keyed Different

Product Description

The AMERICAN LOCK A50 is a rectangular steel-body padlock designed for industrial and commercial security applications. It features a 2-inch-wide steel body with a boron alloy shackle that measures 3/8 inch in diameter, 3/4 inch in width, and 1-1/8 inches in clearance height. The lock operates on a 5-pin tumbler cylinder and ships keyed different, meaning each unit carries a unique key cut. It is a common choice for securing gates, hasps, toolboxes, and equipment enclosures in trade and industrial environments. Licensed locksmiths, facilities personnel, and trade contractors are the typical installers.

This padlock is suited for both light commercial and heavy-duty industrial use where a solid steel body and cut-resistant boron alloy shackle are required. The keyed-different configuration makes it appropriate for multi-lock installations where individual key control is needed, such as equipment lockout/tagout programs, storage units, and job-site security panels. Its rectangular body profile fits standard hasp hardware commonly found in HVAC, electrical, and mechanical applications.

Key Features

• 2-inch-wide rectangular steel body for a compact, secure fit on standard hasps
• Boron alloy shackle resists cutting and provides greater hardness than standard steel
3/8-inch shackle diameter with 1-1/8-inch clearance height for common hasp sizes
• 5-pin tumbler cylinder for improved pick resistance
• Keyed different — each lock ships with its own unique key cut
• 7/8-inch body thickness provides a low-profile, solid feel

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit padlock for standard hasp, chain, and lockout/tagout applications requiring a 2-inch rectangular-body padlock.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no tools — the shackle inserts and locks into the body by hand. Before use on lockout/tagout programs, verify compliance with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 energy control procedures. Inspect the hasp or anchor point for proper fit with a 3/8-inch shackle diameter before securing. Do not force the shackle into an undersized hasp, as this can damage the locking mechanism.
