Are Specific Locks Able to be Keyed Alike and Also Have a Unique Key No One Else Has?

Question:

I get it the keys can be keyed alike. However Im looking to spend a lot of money to replace all my brand new locks that came on my brand new Thor coach BECAUSE their locks/keys are common ones that other coach owners have as well i.e. I could access the compartments of other coaches if I wanted, and vice versa._ So MY question is: if I purchase multiple keyed alike replacement locks from eTrailers, will yours be UNIQUE to my own RV compartments? Or do you also use a fairly common keyed alike system that other RV owners might have as well? Thanks!!

The Global Link Replacement Cam Lock Cylinder for RVs - Keyed Alike Option - Stainless Steel - 7/8" Long # 295-000003 are items that can be also used by other RV owners. The possibility that another owner has your same key is more rare than you may think. They would need to have your specific brand of lock as well as your specific key number. Just the Global Link brand has 50 replacement keys available that we carry. We have products from 3 companies each with a selection similar to this.

To have something as secure as you are requesting, you would need to contact a locksmith.
