American Lock A32KA Padlock Keyed Alike Silver 1/4 in Shackle

American Lock A32KA Padlock

The American Lock A32KA is a corrosion-resistant aluminium padlock with a hardened boron alloy steel shackle. It uses a keyed-alike cylinder so every lock in the set opens with the same key. The rectangular body measures 1 3/4 inches high by 1 1/2 inches wide with a 3/4 inch thickness. A 1/4 inch diameter extended shackle provides a 1 inch vertical clearance and 3/4 inch horizontal clearance for lockout points.

Replaces mixed-key padlock sets

This model replaces assortments where each padlock requires a different key. The keyed-alike configuration removes the need to carry or label multiple keys during group lockout procedures. The jump is worthwhile when a maintenance team or authorised group needs identical access to dozens of isolation points without managing a key register.

Suits facilities running group lockout programmes

It suits facilities where multiple workers must apply personal locks to the same energy source using a shared key hierarchy. Buyers who need unique keys per lock, a master-key system, or a non-conductive composite body should look at something else. The standard keyway also means it cannot accept restricted or high-security cylinders.
