Need source to replace FIC lock cylinders for RV door

I need to pick your brains a bit here.....

Does anyone know of a place besides Fastec to order new lock cylinders for RV doors?
I went through the recall fiasco with my TT and waited for a heck of a long time to get my new cylinders and don't want to go through that again. Easier to just order some new ones somewhere.

I checked online and found Fastec as the only source for their cylinders.
Fastec has no way to email contact them, only a phone number.

I am fixing a friends 2 door TT and it has a different key for each door. I want to have them operate with the same key, so ordering new cylinders is the easiest.
One of them actually qualifies for the recall but the other doesn't.

Apparently they have a new 400 series cylinders for the locks that will fit most older ones including the problematic 300 series.

I'm in Calgary Alberta and would like to find some place I can get 4 cylinders, keyed alike from.

Any ideas?
  • Here is a kicker for you. Fastec will be happy to sell you cylinders. The key that is used to retract the clip that allows you to pull the cylinder out, they won't sell to you, period. If you want to replace the cylinders out yourself.

    Same with Global Link. The cylinders they ship are worthless unless you can pull the old ones out.

    The trick is to hit ebay and buy a blue or yellow key from one of the people there, that or just buy new handles keyed alike.
  • X2 on the rvlocksandmore.
    I even changed out the baggage door locks so they use the same key as the main door. A little more secure than the CH751 universal and I only need 1 key for all the door locks on our 5r.
  • rvlocksand more.com Ireplaced both door locks and got new compartment locks and they are all keyed alike. Handy to only have one key for the whole trailer. They are located in Elkhart, IN, but will ship. Easy to work with.
  • Maybe a local locksmith may have them but I'm guessing they are a rare size.
