rv door lock assembly - best quality brand to buy?

I'm looking to replace the door lock assembly on my cargo trailer. I am in and out of this door 100 times per week, making deliveries to customers. What's the most reliable brand out there? Is there any consensus on the forum?

    In other words, it's a cr@pshoot. Doggone it! Eenie, meenie, miney, moe...I guess I'll try a Global Link this time.

    To get quality, I suspect you'd have to get away from the "RV" moniker ;)

    Whichever brand you decide to buy make sure the latch itself is steel and not a zinc alloy(pot metal) these break quite often. Trimark door assy's are known for this. I understand that now make one with a steel latch. I have had three of these fail since 2004 before I figured out why.
