Trimark should recall the Model 60-650 door lock because it has the same problem. I spent $85 to replace the old lock with a newer one and I suspect many other RV owners have done the same based on all the negative comments in RV forum.
The Tri-Mark 60-650 does not have the same cylinder issue that the Fastec has. The 60-650 fails with a broken latch bolt that prevents the door from being opened. Mine lasted 18 years though, so it was hard to feel too bad about replacing it with the new 60-1650 design. Fortunately, my coach also has a driver's door so we weren't locked out, just inconvenienced until I could disassemble the lock from inside the coach and remove the failed piece. The door could still be locked with the deadbolt though, until the replacement arrived.
