Default Gorilla lugs are all the same key??!!

We have 3 sets of the Gorilla lugs (one for my car, one for my GFs car, and one we just got because the set for the GFs car didnt have a key) and they are all the same key I figured the chances were one in a few that mine and hers would match up, but they did and the 3rd set arrived this moring and its the same numbers and key also..... Freak thing or are they all the same?

They imply on their website that all the keys are different. I have two sets also that work with the same key.
