Removing Global Door Lock Cylinder - No Original Key
Updated 11/23/2020 | Published 11/20/2020
Question:
Is it possible to remove the lock cylinders from my RV door lock? I already have new cylinders and keys in hand, but no key for the original locks. Thanks!

You can always call a lock smith but that is not cheap. I would not try to force them to turn as you could damage the reminder of the latch housing.
You will have to drill them out. Start with a small bit, like a 1/8, and work your way up to a 1/4 inch or 5/16. Eventually you'll remove enough of the cylinder that you can get the lock open. Do not drill very deep as you still need the structure that supports the new lock cylinder.
If in the worst case you end up damaging the latch then try to locate the latch brand name and model and email me that with a picture and opening measurements and I will find you a replacement assembly for the entire door latch.
