Additional Deadbolt

I have used "search" and it did not come up with any answers, so here I go.
We have a 2013 Keystone Pass Port 195RB and I would like to add an extra deadbolt. Why you ask? Out of habit I reached into my pocket and pulled out my "old TT" keys and to my surprise, they opened our new TT door. Looks like there are a lot of keys out there to different makes/manufactures of TT that use the same keys.
Is anyone familiar with doing this type of mod? Do you have a specific deadbolt that will work on a Pass Port?
Any and all responses are greatly appreciated.
Thank you, Carmen LD
  • Storage compartment lock are almost all the same, worst than the entry door. :)
  • That's for all your replies. Looks like I'll be visiting the local locksmith.

    Appreciate all your help, Carmen

    I have unlocked a couple of locked trailer doors in my travels where the camper had misplaced his keys...

    Some may think having all the same keys in the park might be a good thing haha...

    Having a different deadbolt would probably be good for when you are sleeping inside your trailer and don't want to wake up with an intruder inside...

    We never leave any valuables in our trailer anyway... Our spare keys for everything is kept in my truck which has the push button driver door entry key.

  • Why bother....a 99 cent screwdriver will pop that door open regardless of lock.

    Don't understand spending $50 on a lock for a $2 door.

    Changing out the lock will only give you the illusion of security

    You storage compartment locks can also be opened by others with their key(s)
  • If you take your current lock out of the door you will see there is not a lot of support in there. The doors on most are nothing more than a frame filled with Styrofoam. As suggested, I would take your locks to a locksmith and have them re-keyed.
  • Check with a locksmith, they may/should be able to rekey your dead bolt to a unique key. Should be a lot cheaper and no modifications necessary.
