Master Lock 3KA-2996 Keyed Alike Steel Padlock

Product Description

The MASTER LOCK 3KA-2996 is a keyed-alike steel padlock designed for facilities, job sites, and trade applications where multiple locks must operate on the same key. The shackle measures 9/32 inches in diameter and 5/8 inches in width, with 3/4 inch of shackle clearance. The tumbler-style cylinder provides reliable locking action. At 0.45 pounds, this is a compact, solid-body padlock suited for securing equipment, panels, storage units, and access points in commercial and industrial environments. Key number 2996 is stamped for easy rekeying reference and replacement ordering.

This padlock is appropriate for use in electrical, HVAC, plumbing, and general trade applications where lockout-tagout procedures, equipment security, or controlled-access scenarios require consistent keying across multiple lock points. The keyed-alike configuration is especially practical for facilities managers and service contractors who maintain multiple secured locations and need to minimize key inventory. The silver steel body resists wear in light-duty indoor and covered outdoor installations.
