rear hatch handles

[cheyenne10]

I see posts that say the rear blazer liftgate hatch handles are the same as a hardware Store garage door handles. Is this the way GM made them with small gas cap type key? I was assuming the stock lock used the ignition key like a burb. Is it worth getting original rekeyed if key is lost or just buy a new handle with new keys for easy R/R?
