American Lock A701KA-38766 Steel Padlock Keyed Alike

Product Description

The AMERICAN LOCK A701KA-38766 is a heavy-duty rectangular steel padlock designed for demanding commercial and industrial security applications. The body measures 2.5 inches wide and 1.125 inches thick, providing a solid, tamper-resistant profile. The shackle is constructed from boron alloy steel, offering superior cut resistance compared to standard steel shackles. A satin chrome triple-plated finish protects against corrosion and wear, making this lock suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments. The five-pin cylinder provides strong pick resistance and is configured keyed alike, allowing one key to operate multiple locks in a master-key or job-site keying system.

This padlock is well-suited for gate latches, hasps, tool cribs, equipment rooms, utility enclosures, and job-site trailers where a standardized keying system is required. The keyed-alike configuration is commonly specified by facility managers, contractors, and maintenance technicians who need to reduce key count across multiple lock points. The rectangular body shape seats firmly against standard hasp hardware without rotation or misalignment issues during repeated use.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit padlock for standard hasp and staple hardware used in commercial, industrial, and job-site security applications.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no special tools beyond standard hasp or latch hardware already in place. Verify shackle clearance and hasp slot dimensions before installation to confirm the 7/16-inch shackle diameter and 15/16-inch shackle width are compatible with the existing hardware. When used in keyed-alike systems, confirm all locks in the group share the same key code before deployment. Periodic lubrication of the cylinder and shackle with a dry graphite lubricant will extend service life, especially in outdoor or high-moisture environments.
