American Lock A5560 Padlock Steel Brass 5/16 Inch Shackle

Product Description

The AMERICAN LOCK A5560 is a keyed-different padlock built with a steel and brass body for reliable security in trade and industrial applications. The shackle measures 5/16 inches in diameter with 1-1/8 inches of clearance, providing enough room for standard hasps, chains, and gate hardware. The body width is 1-3/4 inches, making it a compact, solid-feel lock suited for toolboxes, equipment cabinets, storage units, and service vehicle compartments. At 0.75 pounds, it is light enough for everyday carry while offering the material durability expected on a job site. Keyed different means each unit ships with its own unique key set, making it appropriate where individual keying is required across multiple lock points.

This padlock is well suited for securing equipment enclosures, electrical panel hasps, gate chains, and storage containers in residential, commercial, and light industrial settings. HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and general contractors commonly use padlocks of this type to comply with lockout/tagout (LOTO) procedures and to secure supply storage between shifts. The steel and brass construction handles typical outdoor and shop environments without significant corrosion concern under normal service conditions.
