Just wondering if the $10 deadbolt from walmart that is made by black and decker and i mass produced have different key combo's for every box...?
 
I buy exterior door knob sets at lowe's and home depot for rental units. If you look at the package there is a key code. If you buy the locks with the same key code one key will fit all the locks. I have bought as many as six locks all keyed the same.

Don't know if black and decker is the same way. Look at the package and see if there is a key code.

there is not, but they don't say keyed alike either.

 
When I purchased 3 new ANSI 1 door knob + deadbolt kits from Lowe's the matching SN's were in groups of 3 or 4. It wouldn't surprise me if the low end B&D locks had 6-12 that are keyed the same.
 
bump keys work on basically all normal (and "high security") locks, so if you're worried about that...
