I have heard there are only a few key variations making it easy for some one else to get a key that would on lock mine. Is this accurate?

In order for someone to obtain a full set of keys, it would take ordering them from the company. The notches that align with a round key are different in depth and could be measured with a small device that is available from a locksmith supply. Take the measurements, have a key cut. But I've been a locksmith for 30 years and most thieves would just use a 4" grinder and cut the lock OR they can buy a bit that fits the circle and is used to drill the lock in a few seconds. The lock is not hardened or protected from drilling. The bit is available from a locksmith supply, can be bought on line, then put in a cordless drill. In addition the round locks were found to be vunerable to picking with the tip of a Bic pen, which Kryptonite got a lot of publicity over that a couple of years ago. These types of lock provide good "bread and butter" protection but can be found to be insufficient if you're talking about leaving a trailer on a jobsite, instead of a locked and watched storage facility or next to your driveway.

Yes each set has its own keys. I bought a few of them, most work with the same key but a few are unique.

No that is not true, mine is locked and my key is in my hand right now. You just have to turn it all the way over and the key can be removed.

Luckily you cant change the combo without a Change Key. If it were possible these locks would not sell very well as they would not be very secure.

absolutely. It gives you two keys so i've put them on two different key chains. My hope is this way i won't lose both (like i did on my old fire box lol).

The way it works is that you choose how many locks you want, order that many, and they are supposed to send them all keyed alike. I ordered 3, but they ended up sending me locks that were NOT keyed alike. Frustrating for me, and had to send them back. Try your luck with these people I guess.

yes, you have to configure it, or take it to the agency to configure it as I did. I live in Mexico. and these kind of keys are expensive, for that reason I bought it in Amazon.

These are sold individually and you are welcome to buy as many as you wish, however, I can not speak to whether or not the keys are all the same. You might speak to master lock and give them the item number 99DSPT. Thanks, wish I could be more help.

The physical key that comes with each set is unique but a locksmith can change them to be all the same. You can also program all the sets to have same entry code/s.

I noticed that the key must be in the right positon for that to be possible. I had a problem at first then realized the key was not properly positioned. Hope that helps.

That would be a question best directed to the manufacturer. It seems to be a simple lock that would be easily replaced or re-keyed, but I've never tried it, so cannot say for sure.

I know "Keyed alike" does NOT mean that every lock manufactured uses the same key. You want just four "keyed alike" . Have a locksmith do it.

I'm no locksmith, but I believe you could have all your locks re-keyed to use a single 'master' key, if you wanted...sure.

Yes every key works on all the locks. Each lock comes with two keys, all keys work on all locks. I have had no issues with a single lock. I'm considering ordering another set.

Yes. Within one package there are two locks that both open to the same key. You get two sets of keys as I recall. The key code is printed on the back of the package so if you are buying more than one set that will tell if all of them take the same key or the two packages (of two each) take different keys.

if you purchase the "keyed alike" verion. I purchased three of these and only have one key.

Yes. One key opens them all...easy for you, but perhaps easy for a thief as well. I don't know how many variations of keys there are, but with locking gas caps, there are rumored to be only seven variations. Still, I've had mine for a year without incident. Hope this helps.
