Replace the locks?

[JayGee]

Have you replaced the locks on your RV? How did you do it, and did you do it yourself? Where did you get the locks and keys? I am not going to talk about how the keys fit numerous RVs as they come from the factories.

I paid $4.25 per lock all keyed the same has the RV entry/exit door.

Is this the same as I spent 15 minutes and saved 15%.................

I only paid $6.00 a lock, all keyed alike.

I put a Schlage deadbolt on my door. Much longer bolt than the wimpy stock lock on the door.

I did by putting on different locks. So either I deterred some or just gave myself more keys to carry. I like to think its some deterrence. Unfortunately if they want in they are getting in.

If you are concerned about someone getting into your storage compartments, don't even bother with replacing the locks with the same kind, even with different keys. A screwdriver is all that is needed to pop the doors, with no visible damage even except a bent tab on the lock. Been there.

NOTHING will stop a determined thief. Windows can be broken and doors pried.

But changing the compartment locks is a low priced way to deter most. I think it is cost effective.
For the determined thief.... Well that's why I also have insurance.

So far I haven't needed it.
