I'm unsure of what you have going on there. Did you receive 4 locks with a common lock number with 4 keys of another lock number? Or did you have two locks with the one number and two with the other? Or 3 with 1 number and the remaining lock with the other key number?

Do all the keys open all the locks?

The keys and locks can become worn over time, once this happens the tumblers can be more forgiving. Manufacturing defects such as burrs left on the key can also allow them to open locks they weren't meant for.

You'll want the key numbers to match the lock numbers. Or, if you want all 4 locks to have the same key number, you can order 4 keyed alike replacement locks, part # TH450400. The locks include 2 keys plus a change key that lets you remove the old lock cores, as long as they're unlocked.
