American Lock A7201KA-17008 Steel Padlock Keyed Alike

Product Description

The AMERICAN LOCK A7201KA-17008 is a rectangular steel padlock with a tubular keyway and 7-pin cylinder, designed for high-security locking applications in industrial, commercial, and trade environments. The body is chrome-plated steel measuring 1-3/4 inches wide and 7/8 inches thick. The shackle is boron alloy with a 5/16-inch diameter, 3/4-inch clearance width, and 2-inch height, providing cut and pry resistance suited to lockout/tagout stations, tool cribs, gate hasps, and storage enclosures. Keyed Alike configuration means multiple locks in a set operate on the same key, reducing keyring complexity for service professionals managing multiple lock points.

This padlock is suited for lockout/tagout (LOTO) programs, equipment lockout panels, jobsite storage boxes, utility enclosures, and gate hardware in residential, commercial, and light industrial settings. The Keyed Alike format is commonly specified by facilities managers, electrical contractors, and HVAC service companies that need a single key to open several locks across a site. The tubular keyway and 7-pin cylinder provide a higher pick-resistance rating than standard 4- or 5-pin designs.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by the end user or a qualified tradesperson following applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures (29 CFR 1910.147) when used in energy-control programs. Ensure the shackle clearance is compatible with the hasp slot or chain link opening before installation. Do not force the shackle into an undersized opening, as this can damage the locking mechanism. Inspect the cylinder and shackle for debris or corrosion before placing the lock into service.
