door lock won't open
Went by my RV to check it out and cannot get the door lock to open. One of the paddle style with two keys: one for the deadbolt and another for the handle. Deadbolt won't budge and it was very hard ...

The Trimark door lock failed on our Class C.....could not open door. Ultimately found out that Trimark T-507 lock assemblies had a defect.....the latch bolt was made out of pot metal.....many broke over the years. The new ones now are made of steel.
The Trimark newest version has a steel bolt.Don't buy one unless they guaranty that the bolt is steel.It's not over yet,though.The guide pins are slightly bigger than the slots on the old guide....which is virtually impossible to remove from the door jamb.I used a Dremel and a carbide burr to enlarge the slots slightly and it works perfectly.I don't think any other lock will fit in the Trimark hole without looking like a cobbled up mess.
