American Lock A5102 Steel Padlock Keyed Different

Product Description

The AMERICAN LOCK A5102 is a rectangular steel-body padlock designed for general-purpose security applications where keyed-different operation is required. The lock features a 1-1/4 inch wide steel body, a boron alloy shackle measuring 1/4 inch in diameter and 3/4 inch in width, and a 5-pin cylinder for added pick resistance. At 0.7 pounds, it is compact enough for portable use while offering the durability expected from a hardened shackle construction. This padlock is suited for installation by maintenance professionals, facility managers, and tradespeople managing multi-lock setups on job sites, equipment enclosures, gates, and storage units.

The A5102 is intended for residential and light commercial applications where individual key control is needed across multiple locks. Its keyed-different configuration means each lock in a set operates on a unique key, making it appropriate for scenarios where separate access control per lock point is required. Common use cases include securing electrical panels, tool storage, HVAC equipment enclosures, and utility access points.

Key Features

• Steel body construction for durability in general-purpose environments

Compatibility

Designed as a standard keyed-different padlock for use with conventional hasps, staples, and chain links sized to accept a 1/4 inch diameter shackle.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no tools beyond threading the shackle through the intended hasp or anchor point and closing the lock body. Before securing electrical enclosures or utility access points, ensure all power or supply lines are de-energized or isolated per applicable NEC or facility lockout/tagout procedures. Do not force the shackle into a hasp that is undersized for the 1/4 inch shackle diameter, as this can damage the locking mechanism.
