Padlock for keyed-alike security

This American Lock padlock provides a single-key solution for users who need multiple locks operated by one key. Its rekeyable cylinder allows the lock to be repinned when key control changes. The hardened boron shackle resists cutting and sawing. A chrome-plated steel body adds corrosion protection for outdoor use.

Weather resistance and low-maintenance operation

The chrome-plated finish and sealed construction keep moisture and grit out of the mechanism. No bumpers are fitted, so there are no rubber parts to degrade in sunlight. The six-pin cylinder turns smoothly without lubrication in normal conditions. The lock draws no power and produces no noise during use.

Six-pin American AK5 keyway with key number 27234

This cylinder uses the proprietary American AK5 keyway and is supplied keyed alike to key number 27234. Buyers who need a different key code or a master-keyed system cannot use this unit as shipped. The lock is not interchangeable-core compatible, so core swaps are not possible.

Questions about this item

How do I install this padlock and what step do people often miss?

Insert the shackle through the hasp or chain, push down until the locking lugs engage, then turn the key to verify the cylinder rotates freely — skipping the verification step leaves the lock appearing closed while the bolt is not fully thrown.

What maintenance or replacement will this padlock need over time?

Lubricate the cylinder and shackle pivot periodically with a dry PTFE spray; the 6-pin American AK5 cylinder is rekeyable so a locksmith can change the key code without replacing the body, and the boron shackle resists cutting but should be inspected for deformation after any attack.

What limit shows up first when this padlock sees sustained outdoor use?

The chrome-plated steel body and boron shackle are rated weather resistant, so the first limitation under constant exposure is typically grit accumulation in the keyway and shackle clearance rather than corrosion of the metal components themselves.
