Entry Door Handle with Lock

We need to replace our entry door handle with lock and would appreciate your input.

We are looking for a quality handle but do not want the keyless version. Is there a certain brand that stands out above others?

Thank you in advance for your assistance.
  • We have a Bauer keyless entry on our 5th wheel and I do NOT recommend it. It has never worked right from the beginning.

    I agree with Doug33 that it would be nice to have some sort of labeling on the locks. We locked ourselves out this weekend and thankfully, the window next to an emergency exit window was open so we were able to get in that way.

    I'm curious to see the responses here.
  • I went with this one from Amazon, here is my post.... http://www.rv.net/forum/index.cfm/fuseaction/thread/tid/28463417.cfm

    Built much better than the factory one.
  • I've read in internet reviews that the keyless locksets don't always operate smoothly and sometimes bind but I have no personal experience with them. When I needed a new door lockset I got it here rv locks At the same time, I got new locks for my storage and outdoor shower doors and had them all keyed alike, now we only need one key to unlock our entrance door and our storage doors.
  • I didn't know there was a keyless option for a TT door lock. I must admit my key lock system is not very intuitive. I can never remember which way the two door locks turn to open/lock (the two locks turn opposite each other). I'm debating labeling the door locks since I can never remember. LOL
  • I started to say we needed more info like vehicle, year current door handle maybe a picture and then I noticed that you're talking about a trailer and I'm totally in the dark there. Sorry but welcome to the forums.
