Why pay more money for a barrel lock than a flat key lock? They are both equally impotent at providing security for the basement/storage doors. The only thing the barrel locks might do is pique the curiosity of someone enough they pop the door open with a medium screwdriver. Why ever would a thief bother with a key when a screwdriver is faster, and the noise isn't that much. Those doors deform very easy.
I can certainly understand wanting all doors keyed the same, but any lock is only as secure as the material surrounding it. And I don't think thieves wander around the campground checking locks. You're more at risk when the unit is in storage, where the risk of a little noise is pretty much a non-issue. Almost all thefts I've heard of took place when the trailer was not being used.
