The locksmiths guessed the hitch pins/locks are made in China and they don't care much for "standards".
You get two keys per hitch pin.
Yes, good information for folks to be aware of when considering these. Two keys per lock.
1UP does let you buy just the lock portion, each coming with two keys, and they're $11.05 each when buying two or more (or buying with another lock). So if you're setting up an order and think you may need more than the included number of keys, add more
1/4 Turn Coupler Locks to your order and they'll be matched with any/all other locks in your order.
This is also helpful for the person who later orders their
wheel locks or whatever, they can add an extra lock to replace an existing one and have everything keyed the same.
(just for kicks I checked the price of Yakima lock cores and keys - the cores at REI are $45 for two or $65 for four, and keys alone on Amazon are a bit over $8 each... so it's best to plan ahead for how many locks and keys you need no matter which you get)
