Padlocks. Buy them in matched-key sets, all sets same key, and get at least one more set than you think you need.
For decades I've been buying padlocks as needed and it got to the point where even with painting the locks and keys different colors it was a real pia to keep track. So when we got our TH ('needed' a pair of padlocks for the ramp even tho it locks from the inside). Counted all my padlocks...15...and bought four sets of four, all 16 same key. Figures that now I need a couple more padlocks and I can't get another set with that same key even ordering from Master. Sigh.
