When your compartment lock is worn or missing, this replacement secures the door so it stays closed on the road. It includes straight and offset cams so you can match the fit without modifying the door.

Hi everyone. Steve here with etrailer. Let's take a look at the RV designer ACE compartment lock. Folks, this is a 5/8 inch long shank here. You're gonna get two sets of keys. You're gonna get the straight cam and the offset cam, along with the threaded nut for installation.
So if you don't know, basically, you'll take off of this, this nut and washer. You'll put the cam on for the right size you need after you've already got this installed into the door. And then of course, you got your two barrel style keys here. And with this design, these keys do not come out when it's unlocked. It must be locked for this key to come back out.
And that is there just mainly so you don't forget that the key is there and that it's unlocked. So, it's a nice little safety feature that they kind of built into the design. I like it myself. And again, these round or barrel style keys, the locksmiths tell us these are one of the hardest ones to pick just by the way they're designed and everything. So, it's a great option for you, quantity one.
The lock size, again, is 5/8 inches long, and it works with door thicknesses up to 3/8 of an inch. I'm Steven. Thanks for watching.

Does the key come out if you try the lock with the door open? If the door is pushing against the latch the lock can get bound up. If the key comes out when the door is open, then there's an issue with how the strike plate is aligned with the door. We have an installation video for these locks as well that I've linked below for you.
