As is the case for most the carts out there, both "common key" and "uncommon key" versions available. On a golf course they don't want to have to keep track of 50 or 100 different keys, so they are all keyed alike. Any Yamaha key they have will fit any of their rental carts. When people take the carts off the golf course for personal transportation use many times they want a differently keyed lock - just so everybody with the same brand cart isn't able to use their key and drive your cart away. Now most of those "uncommon keys" are just that, not the same as all the ones on a golf course, but the same as the uncommon (less common) key people changed it to for security reasons. Then there are some "unique keys" that are just that - a different key code for every lock - kind of. You may have to contact the seller to ask for more keys that will fit the lock they sold you.
