The locks sold by Home Depot are quite a bit less expensive then those shown by etrailer plus you can get them keyed alike and they are often only a few miles away

If you do choose the locks with a tubular key, I installed them on our last 5er and was disappointed. These were all keyed alike but even with that, a couple just did not work well with the key either hanging up or having to fiddle to make them open. I ended up going back to a conventional keyed lock
There is another option and that one with a combination lock. Great idea until you need to get into that locked compartment in the middle of the night in a downpour. Then the cost each is well up there.
Your choice, obviously, but whichever way you go, any CH751 lock is for sure not a secure way to go
