American Lock A7202KA-15206 Steel Padlock 1-3/4 in

Product Description

The AMERICAN LOCK A7202KA-15206 is a rectangular steel padlock built for keyed-alike applications where multiple locks must operate from the same key. The body is 1-3/4 inches wide and 7/8 inches thick, finished in chrome-plating for corrosion resistance. The shackle is made from boron alloy steel, measuring 5/16 inches in diameter with 3/4 inches of clearance and a 3-inch height, providing adequate working room for hasps, chains, and gate hardware. A 7-pin tubular cylinder delivers above-average pick resistance for a standard padlock. This padlock is suitable for securing equipment, storage units, and controlled-access panels in commercial and light-industrial environments. Licensed tradespeople and facilities maintenance crews are the primary installers.

This padlock fits typical hasp-and-staple lockout points found on electrical panels, HVAC service disconnects, gas meter valves, and storage enclosures. Its keyed-alike designation makes it practical for job sites or facilities where a single key must open multiple locks, reducing key management overhead for service technicians and maintenance staff. The chrome-plated steel body holds up in indoor and sheltered outdoor settings.

Key Features

• Keyed-alike cylinder — one key operates multiple locks in the same keyed set
• 7-pin tubular cylinder for increased pick resistance over standard 5-pin designs
• Boron alloy shackle — harder than standard steel, resists cutting attempts
• Chrome-plated steel body — resists corrosion in sheltered environments
• 3-inch shackle height provides clearance for chains, cable loops, and heavy-duty hasps
• Rectangular body profile fits standard padlock hasps and lockout-tagout hardware

Compatibility

Designed as a keyed-alike replacement or addition to AMERICAN LOCK A7202KA-series padlock sets. Fits standard hasp openings accepting a 5/16-inch shackle diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no tools beyond routing the shackle through the hasp or chain link and closing the lock body. Before applying to an electrical disconnect or HVAC service panel, follow OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 lockout-tagout procedures and ensure the circuit or system is fully de-energized and isolated. Do not force the shackle if the hasp opening is undersized, as this can damage the cylinder mechanism. For outdoor or high-moisture applications, verify the installation environment is sheltered, as this lock is chrome-plated rather than weather-rated.
