American Lock A5202 Steel Padlock Keyed Different

Product Description

The AMERICAN LOCK A5202 is a rectangular steel-body padlock built for general-purpose security applications. The body measures 1-3/4 inches wide and 3/4 inches thick, finished in chrome plate for corrosion resistance. The boron alloy shackle measures 5/16 inches in diameter, 3/4 inches in width, and 3 inches in height, providing substantial cut resistance for its size class. Keyed different from the factory, each unit ships with its own unique key cut, making this padlock suitable for applications where shared keyways are not required. Five-pin tumbler construction delivers reliable pick resistance for everyday commercial and light industrial use.

The A5202 is suited for securing gates, storage units, equipment cabinets, tool chests, and similar assets in residential, commercial, and light industrial settings. The chrome-plated steel body handles moderate environmental exposure, and the boron alloy shackle adds resistance against bolt-cutter attacks. Licensed tradespeople and facilities maintenance personnel commonly deploy this padlock as a standalone lockout or general-access control device on HVAC, electrical, and mechanical equipment enclosures.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no tools beyond confirming the receiving hasp or staple opening accommodates the 5/16-inch shackle diameter and 3/4-inch shackle width. Verify the hasp or anchor point is rated for the intended load before deployment. For lockout/tagout (LOTO) applications, follow OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 procedures and ensure the padlock is assigned to a single authorized employee. Do not force the shackle into an undersized hasp, as this can damage the locking mechanism.
