Door lock
On our 02 DSDP - When we stopped for fuel we could not unlock the dead bolt lock. We disassembled the lock from he inside and we able to open the door. The dead bolt is still inside the door and has dropped down inside the door and now we can not use the key to lock the door for the door handle either from the inside or outside. Any suggestions or has any one ever took the door apart or had this problem
Later, We disassembled the door and determined the dead bolt had dropped down into the door latch assembly. This happened because when I had a problem with the tumbler part of the door lock I removed it and put it in a plastic bag for safe keeping. This allowed the dead bolt to move around in the door due to road vibration. I should have reinstalled the tumbler parts and taped it in place on the outside of the door until I could get it fixed.
I tried to find replacement parts in the Kansas City metro area and was unable to find either parts or a new dead bolt lock the would fit. It is not a standard size door lock. In the end I had to order a new lock assembly from Newmar.
They must think it is gold plated as they charged a $169.00 for the dead bolt lock set.
