American Lock A5100KA-44832 Keyed Alike Steel Padlock

Product Description

The AMERICAN LOCK A5100KA-44832 is a keyed-alike steel padlock built for industrial and commercial security applications. The rectangular body measures 1.5 inches wide and 0.75 inches thick, finished in chrome-plating for corrosion resistance. The shackle is boron alloy with a 0.25-inch diameter, 0.75-inch width, and 1-inch height, offering hardened cut resistance in a compact form. A 5-pin tumbler cylinder provides solid pick resistance. Licensed tradespeople and facilities maintenance crews typically specify this padlock for lockout/tagout programs, gate hasps, and equipment enclosures where multiple locks must share a common key.

This padlock is suited for light industrial, commercial, and institutional settings where keyed-alike convenience is required across multiple lock points. The compact 1.5-inch body fits standard hasps, padlock eyes, and chain links commonly found on control panels, storage lockers, and utility enclosures. It is appropriate for both indoor and outdoor use where a chrome finish provides adequate environmental protection. Facilities managers, electricians performing LOTO procedures, and HVAC or plumbing service contractors routinely deploy keyed-alike padlock sets to simplify access management across job sites.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no tools beyond threading the shackle through the hasp or chain and closing the lock body. When used in lockout/tagout applications, follow OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 procedures and ensure the lock is assigned to a single authorized user per LOTO program requirements. Inspect the shackle and cylinder for damage or wear before each use. Do not force the shackle if resistance is felt, as this may indicate a misaligned hasp or damaged lock internals.
