Question:

Can you replace a fic cylinder with a global link cylinder? I’m trying to get both of my campers with same key.

The only style of lock cylinders we carry for doors are for cam locks which would not be a compatible replacement for your Fastec (FIC) lock cylinder.

To get both of your doors keyed the same you would need to replace both door latches with new ones like the Global Link RV Entry Door Locking Latch # 295-000021 you were looking at, with the keyed alike option selected.

To confirm fitment of the door latch you'll want to remove your old latch and measure the cutout hole. The # 295-000021 requires a cutout hole 2-1/2" to 3" wide x 3-1/2" to 4" tall.
