Rv locks install
The door on our Minnie was hard to close and we could not get the keys to work the lock without a lot of fiddling. There was a nice sale at rvlocks.com so I ordered a digital code replacement. It was relatively easy to install but I had to cut out some of the door to line it up with the metal cutouts on the side of the door.
I used a multi tool to trim the excess
The lock has wires that snap together on each side. Then it is screwed on similar to the existing lock.
The lock did leave a gap on the outside top edge in the corner.
So I caulked it with almond window and door sealant. The decal edge is a little rough where I washed off excess caulk.
I had to adjust the strike plate slightly for the new lock but the catches on the new lock are slightly smaller so they lock into the strike plate with less force. I reset the code and programmed the one included remote. I didn’t quite understand the two sets of buttons on the remote though. At first I thought one for each key insert but I think more likely it is for a second lock if you have one. I think we will enjoy the new lock and how easy it will be to leave without having to carry keys.
