2014 Fuzion 301 THI find it odd the generator compartment is the only compartment or door on this vehicle that has no locking method; just two thumb screw type latches.Is that normal to leave one of the most expensive parts unsecured?Anyone know if anyone makes an aftermarket locking kit?

If someone is going to steal a generator you are better off not locking the door as they are serious vandals.But to answer take off one of the existing closures to a camping store and they should a a lock that works. Take the number off one of your locks/keys as they may also be able to match the number.

90 percent of all compartment locks use the same key... look it up.unless the door and frame are made of Steel.. a one pound hammer will let them in.

That Generator has some serious weight - I have to use a floor jack just to lower it to change the spark plugs. Anybody who is strong enough to steal my Generator isn't going to be intimidated by a lock - probably wouldn't be intimated by me and my baseball bat.

The generator and propane tank doors are not normally lockable so they are readily accessible in the event of a fire. That may be a code requirement, but I'm not sure about that.

Compartments that have propane an other combustionible liquids should no be locked.This so you and emergency response can extinguish any fire or shut off the propane.
