American Lock A5260 Padlock Brass Steel Keyed Different

Product Description

The AMERICAN LOCK A5260 is a brass and steel body padlock designed for general security applications in commercial and industrial settings. The rectangular body measures 1-1/2 inches wide and 3/4 inches thick, providing a compact, durable profile. The shackle is constructed from boron alloy steel for increased cut resistance, with a 3/8-inch diameter, 3/4-inch clearance width, and 1-1/8-inch height. Keyed different, each lock ships with its own unique key. A 5-pin tumbler cylinder adds pick resistance. Licensed HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and facility maintenance personnel commonly use this type of padlock to secure equipment panels, service disconnects, valve lockout points, and tool storage.

The A5260 is suited for light industrial, commercial, and trade service environments where a compact brass-body padlock is required. Its keyed-different configuration makes it a practical choice when multiple locks must operate independently across a job site or facility. The boron alloy shackle provides durability against cutting attempts in exposed or semi-exposed service locations. This padlock is typically installed by maintenance technicians, service contractors, or facility security personnel managing lockout/tagout (LOTO) programs or general equipment access control.

Installation Notes

Installation does not require special tools — insert the shackle through the hasp or anchor point and press closed until the locking mechanism engages. Before securing any electrical panel or service disconnect, verify power has been de-energized and all applicable LOTO procedures per OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 are followed. Do not force the shackle or use the lock body as a lever. Inspect the shackle and body for wear or corrosion periodically in outdoor or high-moisture environments.
