Default Coded trail cam locks

I'm looking for a cable lock for my trail cameras, but I'd like to find one that's got a code lock, not a key. we've got several guys in our hunting group that check cams and I'm sure keys will lost or forgotten.
Ideally something like Masterlock's Python, but I can't seem to find it in a code version

I believe there are some pretty good bike locks out there, might not be as long as the keyed ones for game purposes. They have codes with them if desired

Princess auto has smaller locks with codes. I never use keyed locks anymore. For anything

You can buy python locks in sets that are keyed the same. I bought 8 and received 16 keys all alike. Works for me and my buddy that I work my cameras with. He has 8 keyed alike too, so we can check all our cameras with 2 keys. Worth checking out.

I am going to have to check into this as gets old searching for the right key on the key ring of 20 keys. I did engrave the locks as to which key it uses but still a pain.

Going to go to coded locks instead of keyed padlocks as well.

I thought no I bought them off of eBay IIRC. I think it was the easiest and cheapest place to get them.

Maybe. It's a metal cable so wire cutters would be easier. Not sure how tough those cables are. Anyhow I use these locks on my cams too. No issues so far
