I bought a new to me 01 Exiss 3 horse with a midtack and 3 camper doors with locks and 2 windows with locks....5 different keys. I think I am going to have them keyed alike and can't believe it would have come from the factory this way....do you think it did or did things just get changed over the last 9 years.

I bought my featherlite new in 2003 and it has different keys for every door. I don't care much for it my self. All the keys looks the same to me. I keep thinking that I'm going to color code them somehow, but haven't yet.

My old '94 2h GN Logan had one key (one lock, front tack), and my new '07 Kiefer Built 2h GN has one key and has locks on the windows, living area, rear tack, horse area, everywhere, but one key for them all. It came with 3 keys, I'm glad as I had to make keys for the Logan after losing the one one time, but found it, that was a hard lesson to learn!

My Bison has one key for all the doors and another key for the horse windows. My favorite thing is the key and the lock has a number code that matches so you never have to try the wrong key. :)

We had a 2006 Cimarron that had 1 key for everything that locked. Loved that. Our new Cherokee LQ has a different key for almost everything. I think it has 5 or 6 keys. Hate that.

That's common.Hey,consider yourself REAL lucky that you even GOt the keys to the thing.I've had problems with every new trailer that I've ever bought getting keys.Both dealers to our LQ's lost them.Don't know how that can happen,but,with a lot of inventory,I guess it's possible when they haul them all over the country to shows.to me,it's not very responsible if you're planning on selling the things to customers that expect a set of keys.

I just picked up my brand new Hart trailer today (and it's awesome!) All the drop window locks, rear door locks, and front escape doors have the same key. The dressing room door has a separate key since it's a camper style door with screen. I had an extra padlock put on the front escape door so that we can use it as a mud room when camping, and it has a separate key. There's also a separate key for my hydraulic jack lock and battery box lock.

My Logan has one key for everything. DR, Mid Tack, Drop Windows, back doors to horse area. On the LQ trailers, there are some extra keys to the water fill and the pull out Shore Power cord.

My Hart has 2 keys.. one that opens all windows, rear doors and the regular lock on the DR door. But the DR has a deadbolt lock also and that requires a separate key.
Do you have 1 key for your entire trailer?
