Question:
What a GREAT idea!! Finally I can toss out ALL my darn keys for the trailer and hitch pins!!So how does the fitting of the key take place? I have a 1999 Ford F-150...are there different tumblers that come with?Or do I send my ignition key to have the tumblers matched up?Thank you for your time and I look forward to the response

Basically all you do is insert your key into the lock core of the # BL7018447 that you referenced, turn it clockwise as far as it will go, and the lock will then be set to your key. The tumblers of the lock will be set to your key profile so that only your key will open it.
For more info and to see how it works check out the review video I attached.
I also attached a picture of what styles of keys this lock will work with.
