After several un-productive phone calls with Aircraft Spruce, I am back at square one with lock sets. I am trying to piece together the ignition switch, baggage door lock, and 2 cabin door locks, all keyed the same. Aircraft Spruce says that I have to buy 2 of their ignition/lock sets and then pay a special order fee to have them keyed alike. The total comes to almost $300. While a drop in the bucket in the grand scheme of things, there has to be a better way. Does anyone out there know of another source to get such a package of lock sets?

I found the same locks that are included with the "kit" at a local Home
Depot/Lowes. I was able to take them to a lock smith and have them
rekeyed to match the others.

My solution was to buy the ignition switch from Vans. Their switch includes
two additional door/baggage locks.
I needed one more lock, so I called Aircraft Spruce customer service and
talked to a very helpful lady (Robin I think).
I gave her my key number and she ordered a pair of locks keyed like the
ignition switch (they only come in pair).
So now I have a spare lock and enough locks to lock all the doors.
The total cost was less than half what you mentioned.

Steve Dinieri at Iflyrv10.com is close to having a stainless steel lock set for the airplane. I don't know what the price is, but if they are as nice as his RV-10 door handles, they will probably be worth it. Steve is a pleasure to deal with.

Take the odd cylinders (and keys) to a locksmith and have them re-keyed
to match the others. Haven't a clue how much they'll charge though. A
DIY article is at http://www.rd.com/familyhandyman/content/18168/. I
just googled 're-key lock' and it was one that showed up. $8.00 for a
pin kit ...... but they're aimed at house door locks.
