Question
QUESTION: I am looking to install the added protection of a dead bolt lock, keyed inside and outside, on my rv entrance door.
The door is thin in comparison to traditional home doors.
Do you have something I can "do it yourself" without huge
modifications?
thank you,
Andrew

ANSWER: Hello Andrew,

The only thing I'm aware of for RVs is a single cylinder deadbolt - keyed on the outside, thumbturn inside.  It uses a shorter throw deadbolt, 1/2" instead of the typical 1" and is designed for use on the thin doors of RVs.

You can check some manufacturer's websites to see if they offer a double cylinder version but again I'm not aware of any.

QUESTION: Good morning James!

Could you possibly suggest a few web sites where I may be able to purchase this lock set for "RV" useage?

Thank you!

Andrew

Answer
Hello Andrew,

I'm not sure who would carry such a lock but we have one, although it's not the best deadbolt made.  If Schlage makes one that would be the best way to go but we don't carry it.  You can look at ours here: http://www.jmlock.com/uslock-rv-single-cylinder-deadbolt.aspx
