Kaba Ilco Corp AM3-1045 Key Blank American Padlock 5 Pin

Product Description

The KABA ILCO CORP AM3-1045 is a replacement key blank designed for 5-pin American padlocks. This newer, longer square-head style key blank is used to cut replacement keys for American brand padlocks requiring the updated, longer key profile. It ships in a package quantity of 10 units, making it suitable for locksmiths, facilities maintenance teams, and hardware distributors who need to stock or cut multiple keys from a single order. The AM3-1045 matches the profile of the original American key blank PTKB-1 and the Curtis key blank AM7, providing a direct cross-reference for shops already familiar with those designations.

This key blank is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications wherever American brand padlocks with 5-pin cylinders are in service. It is commonly used by locksmiths cutting keys at the counter or in the field, as well as facilities managers maintaining keyed padlock systems on gates, storage units, utility enclosures, and similar hardware. The square head profile is characteristic of the newer, longer generation of American padlock keys and must be matched to the correct lock generation before cutting.

Installation Notes

Key blanks should be cut by a qualified locksmith using a key duplicating machine appropriate for the blank profile. Verify the lock generation and pin count before cutting to ensure proper fitment. Do not force a cut key into a lock cylinder, as this can damage both the key and the lock. Always test the cut key in the lock before returning equipment to service.
