Re: Door Won’t Open
We somehow got in! A combination of trying to press in on the striker bolt and then pushing and pulling on the door and repeatedly locking and unlocking with the fob. None worked by themselves but together they did. First thing I did was unlock two big windows in case it happens again. Thanks for all of your suggestions! We should have joined the forum when we first bought the rig to find out about the entry issues from all of you. Lesson learned (cheaply this time). Have a great day.833Views0likes0CommentsRe: Door Won’t Open
Thanks so much. I believe it is a TriMark 030-1400 paddle lock. I’ll go get some of those curtain hooks and see if I can make it work! If not, then a call to Beaver for help somehow and as a last resort, drilling a hole into the window frame. We will definitely be leaving something unlocked in the future! We thought we were being proactive in having new lock parts put in when the original setup was hard to pull open.832Views0likes0CommentsRe: Door Won’t Open
Our problem with Beaver is that we are now back in Canada, but we may have to try and get them to do something. Perhaps at least a refund on the service. I will see about the window frame hole though. It might be a good idea to have. I’ll just have to verify exactly where to drill. Thanks830Views0likes0CommentsDoor Won’t Open
We have a 2005 Beaver Monterey and just came back from having our door handle and locks replaced at Beaver Motor Coach Sales. After only a handful of uses it is now not working and we can’t get into the motor home. The door wasn’t locked but it won’t open and the paddle handle is very loose. All windows are locked up. I searched online for a damage-free way of getting inside and could only find one old forum query from 2010 (posted by Rhyph) on the exact same issue. It can no longer be accessed through the forum however and the solution used was apparently sent in a PM. I suspect it may have something to do with opening the emergency window from the outside(?) All other suggestions involved drilling, locksmiths or removing the skylight and the poster commented that it was done both by themself and damage free. Any suggestions? We are new to Class A’s and the forum. The emergency window is the bedroom horizontal slider with hinge on top, and inside has the slider latch and two red lever latches on either side. Thanks, CJ3.3KViews0likes16Comments
