keys for military chain lock?

[rfischba1]

Does the military locks used to secure the wheel take a universal key?
Does one key fit all chain locks , just like the ignition keys. I found a key by have not tried teh lock on my truck.
Thanks

Nope all the locks used a different key, at least in all the motorpools I ran. The only key alike locks we used were on the wrecker for instance and only on the compartments, the steering was a different higher security lock.

You can take it to a locksmith for about $12. bucks and get a key made.
Thats what I did.

I must have 20-30 of those locks. Some trucks that I have, have 2 and 3 locks each in them. One still has the lock on the wheel.

5200 series locks are all keyed different.

Not all. I have two keyed alike but you really need to get them from the same lot new.

5200 sires lock are easy to rekey a like. I got stuck rekeying all the ones in our supply room 15-20.

You can get mil locks keyed alike in sets....However most supply room folks don't research the fsns enough to do same. I just cut em off the trucks and put em in the brass scrap. New locks of the same type are about $10 ea at the mil flea mkts.
