RV Lock Deadbolt Cylinder RECALL.

Ever had a dead bolt break on your rig? We did. When the bead bolt breaks the spring will slam the dead bolt locked. You can't unlock your door, just glad we had two doors on that rig. There were several of us looking at it trying to get it unlocked. With the cover off & he only thing we could come up with is drill the bolt in half, had to drill real slow as it was hard steel took several bits & long time. Any way you do not want your bolt to break. as you can't get in or out the door. Our rig today only has one door & I am getting to old to go out the window.

the dead bolt lock on my Chieftain would not lock from the outside. worked fine on the inside. whenever I left for the day with an audience I would go through the motions, put key in lock, act like I was twisting it, etc. ;)

My key was on the list. Submitted teh form and called the 1-800 number. Nice lady answered on third ring. Said that becasue of the recal it may take a day or two more than the normal 7 to 10 business days to get the new cylinder and keys (only 2).

No problem. Recalled we had a problem with an 05 Cougar we had where the deadbolt hung up. Sure hope that owner sees this recall.

Got the replacements. Changed the cylinders out, sent them back prepaid. Done. Don't forget to put the M cylinder in the top location.

My key has HF-306 on it, which isn't on the list of recalled keys/locks, but it does allow me to remove the key in the 9 o'clock position. I will be giving them a jingle.

Will the new cylinder match the lock for the handle, or will I have two keys for my door; one for the deadbolt and one for the handle?

With our toyhauler we have two doors and 4 cylinders. We got 4 cylinders/keys that were the same number. Very nice since I no longer have to carry 2 different keys for the doors.

Keyed alike

I got mine on Saturday. Installed in about 5 minutes. Work fine. Sent the tool and old keys and cylinders back today.
