American Lock A5201 Steel Padlock 1.75 in Keyed Different

Product Description

The AMERICAN LOCK A5201 is a rectangular steel padlock built for industrial and commercial security applications. The body measures 1.75 inches wide and 0.75 inches thick, constructed from solid steel for durability under heavy use. The shackle is made from boron alloy steel, offering superior cut resistance compared to standard hardened steel. A 5-pin tumbler cylinder provides reliable pick resistance. The shackle diameter is 0.3125 inches, with a clearance height of 2 inches and an internal width of 0.75 inches, making it compatible with a wide range of hasps, chains, and lockout hardware. The A5201 ships keyed different, meaning each unit operates on its own unique key. Licensed locksmiths, safety coordinators, and facilities maintenance professionals are the primary installers and users.

The A5201 is suited for securing gates, equipment enclosures, storage units, utility access panels, and tool cribs in residential, commercial, and light industrial settings. Its compact rectangular body fits standard padlock hasps commonly found on sheds, lockers, and fence gates. The keyed-different configuration makes it appropriate for individual-access control where master keying is not required. The boron alloy shackle is a practical choice in environments where cut attempts or physical tampering are a concern.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no tools beyond fitting the shackle through the intended hasp or chain link. Before securing the lock in a permanent application, confirm the hasp or anchor point is properly fastened and rated for the intended load. Locks used in lockout/tagout procedures must comply with applicable OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 requirements. Keep the keyway clear of debris and apply a dry lubricant periodically in outdoor or high-moisture environments to maintain cylinder operation.
