Question:

If I was to purchase your Global Link RV Entry Door Locking Latch Kit, can I request a specific key code? I.E. G378.

Helpful Expert Reply:

Unfortunately, you cannot select which lock core will come installed with the Global Link RV Entry Door Locking Latch Kit, part # 295-000019, when you purchase it.

Instead, if you want to use the same key for this and another Global Link lock, you will need to measure the lock core of your existing lock. Then, when you have that length, you will need to purchase additional cores in the same purchase as the latch kit above while being sure to choose the Keyed Alike option for both.

Your options are:

7/8" Long - # 295-000003
1-1/8" Long - # 295-000004
1-3/8" Long - # 295-000005
1-3/4" Long - # 295-000077

So, if you currently have a lock core that is 7/8" long, you would order # 295-000003 and # 295-000019 on the same purchase and choose the "Keyed Alike" option on both of those pages. Then, you would use the new core (the 295-000003) to replace the core you currently have.

I've linked to a video review of the latch kit for your reference.
