Anything but a lock with a CH751 stamped on it since virtually every towable in any CG has that lock installed at the mfr. as well as the owner having keys, again, for every towable (and quite possibly most anything else in that CG). The only one on ours that still has a CH751 key is the water fill hatch and only because I didn't order the correct length

I found some other keyed cam locks with differnt pattern keys on line since the barrel locks that I installed on our last 5er had a tendency to jam and also make the keys hard to remove.

Make sure you get the exact length needed and you may need to use the existing tang from the original locks and may need to modify the tangs square hole - unfortunately as I found, they aren't necessarily universal. On ours, I had to weld that square hole and file to fit.
