American Lock A5262KA-48853 Steel Keyed Alike Padlock

Product Description

The AMERICAN LOCK A5262KA-48853 is a heavy-duty steel padlock designed for industrial and commercial security applications. The rectangular body measures 2 inches wide and 3/4 inches thick, finished in chrome plating for corrosion resistance. The shackle is constructed from boron alloy steel, offering high cut resistance, and measures 3/8 inches in diameter with 3/4 inches of clearance width and 3 inches of height. A 5-pin cylinder provides reliable key control. This padlock ships keyed alike, making it a practical choice when multiple locks need to operate on the same key within a facility or job site.

This padlock is suited for securing gates, hasps, tool boxes, storage units, and equipment lockout/tagout stations in industrial, commercial, and trade environments. The keyed-alike configuration is commonly specified by facilities managers, contractors, and maintenance technicians who need consistent key access across multiple lock points. The chrome finish and boron alloy shackle make it appropriate for both indoor and moderate outdoor use where a balance of strength and corrosion resistance is required.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no tools beyond inserting the shackle through the hasp or chain link and engaging the locking mechanism. Always verify the hasp or anchor point is rated for the security load before use. For lockout/tagout applications, follow OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 energy control procedures. Store keys separately from the lock when used in a lockout/tagout program to prevent unauthorized re-energization.
