Question:

Is there a certain way to measure to assure new lock will fit?

Yes, the Global Link RV Entry Door Locking Latch Kit with Keyed Alike Option # 295-000019 you linked to requires a cutout opening of 2-1/2" wide x 3-1/2" tall to 3" wide x 4" tall. You'll need to remove your current entry door lock and measure the height and width of the hole to ensure a fit. If your cutout hole differs from this size and you need help finding one that fits then just let me know the dimensions of your cutout.

@JohnH That sizing is pretty common for a Trimark lock. The Bauer and Global Link options we currently offer are about an inch off size-wise so I would reach out to them for a replacement.
