Keyless entry locks

Just ordered from RVLock but haven't installed them yet. We also have 2 doors and decided to go with one keyless and one manual since we don't use one door very often. They keyed them alike. Have also ordered baggage door locks and they are keyed the same as the entry door locks. Down to a single key!!!!

I installed this lock on our previous rig but have not done so on our current rig only because we have had other priorities. Customer service was excellent, lock was well made, installed easily and functioned flawlessly. I would install another. If I recall correctly, it has been a few years, I believe multiple locks can be keyed alike.
 
We used RV Locks and More. Preferred have 5 keys and ability to key same as existing key code (G code). Common keyed main door, storage slam locks and outdoor kitchen. I much prefer a single key and electronic main door lock to standard. Don't care about a fob or app access.

I had the RVLock on our main door for a few years. The first year or so were great. Then I noticed that it started to go through batteries every other month. It was out of warranty, but RVLocks sent me a new wireless board for it at no cost. Unfortunately that did not fix the problem. We just dealt with it for the next year and a half by switching to rechargeable batteries. I had some ideas to just wire it into the RV's battery (using a step down converter), but decided I had enough projects and just bought a new lock from LatchIt.org. It's a little sturdier construction, came with 2 remotes, and has a lifetime warranty. We only have one door, but I would image they can key two the same if you contact them.
I've heard lots of good things about RVLocks from others, so maybe I just had a one-off.
 
We have two doors and two different keys. I asked the dealer why the doors weren't keyed alike. They said that one was a master key so, if you get locked out, a tech could get you in without destroying the lock. So I was wondering if RVLocks can be keyed to a master or if it would be better to go with a new key altogether.

One key should be for the handle, which the dealer will have a "master" key to open (and which are easily purchased online) and one should be for the deadbolt that is more unique - as unique as a lock with only 5 or 6 pins can be anyway.
The other advantage to the electronic lock is we can put a code in for the dealer and then remove it when we get it back. It only takes a few seconds to change the code.
 
Just wondering if you had to do anything to make them fit. Was thinking about this one for my 2020 2970RL.

Thanks

No modifications, went right in. I’ve had no problems with it. I have a 17MKE

Well everyone may call me stupid, my wife did when we went out our last trip and I asked wheres the keys? She said you didn’t grab them? I now keep them in my truck. Was able to get in the trailer just fine. The compartment locks are my next mod. I was able to use a key on my key ring to pick it. Saved our trip for us. If anyone can recommend a good replacement for the front compartment locks would be great.
