No More CH751 for me - one gotcha

[CarlB]

I went over to RVLocksAndMore | RV Locks | RV Keys | Fastec FIC Locks and Keys and ordered enough cylinders for all my baggage compartments and didn't have to pay a king's ransom like they want on another site. When I Ordered them, I used the number from my entry door key, which is a Bauer lock. Well yeah not the same key lineup. But the big door to the area under the bed is a Global Link key. I could just get a new cylinder for it and swap them out, but the tool to swap cylinders is a controlled item and would require a trip to a shop that is already swamped in the height of camping season. New baggage door latch is only $20ish without shipping, so I should have it soon and now all the storage keys will be ONE key....

Yup. Did that on my Rig as soon as I got it and love only having one key.

But what are you going to do when you misplace your keys and won't have the convenience of borrowing your neighbors Ch751 key to get inside.... hehe...

Well each cylinder came with a key, so I can litter a few spares in the the RV somewhere...

I've pondered this mod for many years and still come up with the same conclusion. No matter what the lock, the storage doors can be opened with a simple pry up with a screwdriver if someone wants to get in. I'm sticking with the CH751 and hopefully if someone wants to break into my storage areas, they can use their key and not tear stuff up. It is nice to have one key for everything though but I don't have that problem as all my storage doors are the 751.
