American Lock A5260KA-53574 Padlock 2 in Keyed Different

Product Description

The AMERICAN LOCK A5260KA-53574 is a rectangular brass and steel body padlock with a chrome-plated finish, designed for general-purpose security applications requiring a keyed-different configuration. The shackle is constructed from boron alloy for enhanced cut resistance, measuring 3/8 inches in diameter, 3/4 inches in width, and 1-1/8 inches in height. The padlock body is 2 inches wide and 3/4 inches thick. With 5 pins in the locking mechanism, this lock provides a solid level of pick resistance suitable for commercial and industrial use. Locksmiths, facilities maintenance technicians, and security installers typically specify this type of hardware.

This padlock is suited for securing gates, hasps, tool cribs, storage lockers, and equipment enclosures in commercial, industrial, and light institutional settings. The keyed-different configuration means each lock in a set ships with its own unique key, making it appropriate for applications where individual access control is required across multiple lock points. The chrome-plated finish provides corrosion resistance for indoor and sheltered outdoor use.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by locksmiths or facilities maintenance personnel. Ensure the hasp, staple, or locking bar diameter is compatible with the 3/8-inch shackle before installation. No special tools are required for basic installation; verify that the mounting hardware is rated for the intended security load. Keep the shackle and cylinder lubricated periodically to maintain smooth operation.
