I took a bunch of these surplus 5200 locks to my locksmith to have rekeyed
to so all the locks on Ronzo and my fleet are the same (Kerry, if you need a
copy of the key, let me know, easier than having to cut the nice pioneer
tool lock bars), and the locksmith started by telling me that these locks
are junk, If you wanted security there are much better choices. He also told
me he can order the same lock without the US on it, and can get them
individually keyed, or fleet keyed.
The moral of the story is, if you can live without the "US" on the lock, you
can buy them commercially.

Here is a little info on the American Lock. I think they have to sell that
many a month because of all the locks they cut off/leave on the steerring
wheels chain at the DRMOs. Wayne
The 5200 GL (for "Government Lock") is currently manufactured by the
American Lock Co. SOLELY for the United States Government as well as the
U.S. Military, ONLY! These padlocks made by the American Lock Co. were
requested made to the exact specifications given them by the United States
Government.
LanTurn Productions, LLC which already has a Defense Logistics Agency
contract as well as a General Services Administration (who sell 108,000 5200
GL locks monthly on average.) contract
