Question:
Can this latch be mounted horizontally so the deadbolt deploys downward? We need to replace a similar latch that is mounted that way, but leaks water into the camper through the mechanism when it rains.

Expert Reply:
The Global Link RV Entry Door Locking Latch Kit with Keyed Alike Option - Black # 295-000019 is not designed for that use. A better option for that use is the Lippert Components Standard Baggage Door Latch Kit - Black # LC317649 designed for that use. The Global Link RV Baggage Door Slam Latch with Keyed Alike Option - Black - 1-1/2" Thick # 295-000015 which can use a more secure key system.
