American Lock A7201 Steel Padlock 1-3/4 in 7-pin

Product Description

The AMERICAN LOCK A7201 is a steel-bodied padlock built for security applications that demand a reliable keyed-different locking mechanism. The body measures 1.75 inches wide and 0.875 inches thick, housing a 7-pin tubular cylinder that resists picking and manipulation. The 5/16-inch diameter shackle provides 2 inches of shackle height with 0.75 inches of clearance, giving installers enough room to secure hasps, chains, cabinets, and gates in commercial and industrial settings. Licensed electricians, facility maintenance techs, and security contractors typically specify this lock for panel enclosures, meter sockets, and controlled-access hardware where a tubular keyway is required.

The A7201 is suited for both indoor and outdoor applications where a compact, keyed-different steel padlock is needed. Common installation scenarios include securing electrical enclosures, tool storage, gate chains, and equipment lockout-tagout (LOTO) points. The keyed-different configuration means each lock ships with its own unique key set, making it appropriate for multi-lock installations where independent access control is required. The compact 1.75-inch body fits standard hasp openings commonly found in commercial facilities and light industrial environments.

Installation Notes

Installation does not require special tools beyond verifying hasp or chain opening dimensions against the shackle clearance before securing. For lockout-tagout applications, verify compliance with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 control-of-hazardous-energy requirements before placing the lock in service. Ensure the shackle is fully seated and the lock body is not exposed to chemicals or environments that could accelerate corrosion on uncoated steel hardware.
