Best place to buy keyed alike locks for arcades?

[BLACK KNIGHT]

Where would be the best place to buy like a dozen or so keyed alike locks for my arcade cabinets?  And would I need different locks to hold the back of the cabinet on as I would for the coin doors?

I don't know if it's the *best* place, but my local RV dealer has all sorts of styles of locks that would work on arcade games, and they *all* use the same key. They also have keyless knobs that replace locks.

I pick up locks at the parts counter of my local arcade distributor. They sell much higher quality locks than those you'll find at Lowes/Home Depot, yet the price difference is trivial.

Typically cabs use a better quality lock in the coin door, as those see a lot more use than the back door lock.  When I replace them I put the good locks in the back door as well, mostly to keep everything keyed alike.

IMHO Peale's locks are much better than those at Home Depot et al.

Mine are from the Illinois Lock Company.

I REALLY like the double-bitted locks from Peale.
