Re: [A/S] Lock



Your lock will come out with just a few screws. Clean it and spray it
with silicone and see if that helps.

If you take it to a real locksmith at their shop, they may be able to
fix it or get a new tumbler. It has to be a real locksmith, not just
someone who knows how to break into a locked car.

The same lock is available from Airstream, you need to get a spec ial
long shank to make it work, it is a Bargman.

Finally, not even a door lock in good shape is very safe. There are only
a few different keys for all of those locks, and they don't hold very
well. Since having your door blow open on the highway will make a bad
mess, you probably should install a dead bolt on the body forward of the
door latching back into the door below the origonal lock. Then you will
be safe from bears and what not and it will stay shut on the road.
