I did not think much about my storage compartment keys until I noticed that they are identical to the keys for my Torklift battery box. A quick Google search suggests these keys are extremely, extremely common. I am curious, how many Grand Design owners all have the same locks? LOL!

Easy to replace storage compartment locks with locks that match entry key.... rvlocksandmore.com check for code on entry key and order locks that match...

Yep I'm on there right now, planning to do exactly that, get matching locks for the entry door.

I'm glad to know this information, at least I can do something to mitigate it before finding out the hard way.

Finding what out?

That any remotely competent thief could just walk up, open the compartment and take what they like, and then lock it back up like nothing happened. Locks aren't going to stop someone who is a little motivated, but I'd rather not make it as easy for them as it is for me to get into the compartment.

It's actually slightly more annoying that the battery box uses the same code. Torklift sells the box specifically for expensive lithium batteries and then provides the single most common key in the world...

We replaced ours with the matching key to the rig. Easy, quick and not expensive.

I could still open the compartment up in under 2 seconds with a small screwdriver and no one would notice
I never worry about such things

Maybe a boondocking issue

Yep. Easier for a thief to open it with a screwdriver than a key. And then you have a door to replace in addition to the stuff.
 
Best protection against theft for RVers? Fully document your possessions and have a rider on the rig insurance or personal articles policy.
 
Working in construction my whole life one of the worst kept secrets was the key for most heavy equipment, lifts, cranes, high reach, etc were the same. The remarkable thing is this didn't change in almost 40 years. So you knew every operator had one and most craft crews knew where to get access to a key. It made for some interesting and sometimes exciting confrontations when a piece of equipment was "borrowed".
