Steve,

The under-seat storage on my slide-in middle row captains seats have keys which look similar to my glovebox key (I have not checked to ensure the key way is the same).  From what you indicated below, I should be able to have these all re-keyed the same?

It needs to be code cut back to new key specs.  Filing the wafers is just a bad idea.  It can allow multiple keys to operate the lock.  The correctly cut key should solve the problem.
