The Atwood AMPlock Trailer Coupler Latch Lock referenced in your question is really designed for trailer couplers to help deter theft of the trailer itself. It secures the trigger latch on the coupler so it cannot be removed from the tow vehicle or secure it to a would-be thief's tow vehicle.
A better option for the doors on your enclosed trailer will be with an entry door lock like the Global Link RV Latch Kit # 295-000019. This locking latch kit lets you secure the door on your trailer, features a sturdy steel construction and includes 2 keys. It will install into latch cutouts that are 2-1/2 inches wide x 3-1/2 inches tall to 3 inches wide x 4 inches tall. The latch kits can also be ordered keyed alike by selecting "Keyed Alike" on the drop-down menu on the product page. This will make it so that all the latches you order are compatible with the same key.
I have attached a short video demonstration on this product, along with a link that will take you to our available selection of RV locks that you can look through.
