Can The Lock Core Of A Bauer Products Compression Latch Be Removed And Replaced
Updated 11/03/2025 | Published 01/04/2025
Question:
How can I remove the lock cylinders so I can use the old ones? Id prefer my existing key to work on the new latches. I see one-way, pressed pins in the lock assembly and dont want to jack these up by removing the lock incorrectly. 2018 Grand Design 354M. Rear, ramp door latch, lock assembly.

Hey Todd,
The lock cores for the Bauer Products Compression Latch # BA87FR unfortunately aren't built to be removed so the only way to get them out would be to drill out the lock core. From there you'd have to get a replacement lock core from Bauer that matches your current key code.
