American Lock A700KA-32427 Keyed Alike Padlock 2.5in Steel

Product Description

The AMERICAN LOCK A700KA-32427 is a heavy-duty keyed alike padlock built for trade and industrial applications where multiple locks must operate from a single key. The rectangular steel body measures 2.5 inches wide and 1.125 inches thick, finished in satin chrome triple-plating for corrosion resistance. The boron alloy shackle provides cut resistance well beyond standard hardened steel. With a 5-pin cylinder, this padlock delivers reliable pick resistance for gate, hasp, and equipment lockout applications. It weighs 1.5 pounds, indicating a solid, full-size lock body suited for demanding job-site conditions.

This padlock is designed for commercial and industrial environments where a keyed alike configuration simplifies key management across multiple locks. Typical applications include securing electrical panels, HVAC equipment access doors, gate hasps, storage units, and job-site tool chests. Licensed tradespeople performing lockout/tagout procedures on HVAC, electrical, or plumbing systems will find the keyed alike format useful when multiple workers need simultaneous access to separate secured points using the same key.

Installation Notes

A licensed electrician, HVAC technician, or plumber should de-energize or shut off all systems before applying lockout/tagout hardware, per OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 lockout/tagout procedures. Verify that the hasp or anchor point accepts a 0.4375-inch shackle diameter before installation. Inspect the shackle and body for damage before each use; do not use a damaged lock as a safety device. No special tools are required for installation beyond confirming proper fitment.
