I have a solution for you, but the Bauer Products Locking Cam Latch for Horse Trailers, # BA32FR does not have a keyed alike option. I recommend the Global Link Vise Lock for Cam-Action Door Latches, # 295-000024 that does provide the keyed alike option. This is an aluminum construction with a black powder coat finish and can be keyed alike to match other Global Link locks too, not just matching cam locks. So if you have other locks on your trailer aside from the cam locks, please consider this available feature too for having everything in one key. Simply select the keyed alike option in the drop-down window when ordering. If you do so, all latches placed on the same order will be keyed alike.
