When I wanted to have all the Blue Ox pins keyed alike I called them to see if I could get several with the same keys. The Guy chuckled and said they are all the same anyway. I tried my keys that I already had, sure enough they fit all pins.
Alot of mfg's do this. My Bobcat skidloader does as the local repair guy came to pick it up and he pulled out his key and took off with it. I heard even the RV storage doors can have the same key.
For this reason you may want to get a aftermarket lock pin set. I had Masterlock and hated it as you had to have the key installed to lock the lock which is a PITA. The one I have now I only need the key to unlock, when I lock it I just push it on and it locks itself. Of course if a guy comes in with a cordless angle grinder no lock is going to work. So if you do long term storage out of sight is the best theft prevention.
