hermanmullins Report post Posted December 9, 2019 eckerman, Welcome to the Forum. Are you speaking of your Dead Bolt? If you are talking about the dead bolt I am sure there is a push button make that will work. However check the length of the Bolt. Some are extended to allow the lock to be mounted a bit further from the edge. I was looking to maybe replace the touch pad on my coach and it was very expensive and I already had everything else.

wayne77590 Report post Posted December 10, 2019 I think this has been covered on this forum or iRV2 and consensus was it was more trouble than what it is worth, if at all if it could be done. Someone will come up with some information. My coach has a remote fob for locking and unlocking. It only works on the latch handle lock, not the dead bolt.

manholt Report post Posted December 10, 2019 Wayne, mine is like yours and I have never used a dead bolt in any of my coaches! Old days, it was key! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hermanmullins Report post Posted December 10, 2019 Mine is the same as yours Carl and Wayne. I will never use our deadbolt again. Bobbie used to lock the D/B while we drove down the road. We stopped for fuel and the D/B would not unlock. Took what I could off from the inside to no avail. I had to crawl out the window. Someone asked me how I got out. I said that you go out feet first until your belly stops you and just as you get your belly over the window ledge you are on your but on the ground. What I did was to pry back the door rubber molding and with a knife push to deadbolt back. On our coach the deadbolt is extended for extra length and the roll pin had broken. I fixed the D/B and never used it again. Herman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

five Report post Posted December 10, 2019 My key fob unlocks/locks both the locks on the door....and another click of the fob unlocks the basement locks. We keep a spare set of keys in the toad (the door has separate keys), in case there is a problem with the fob. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

manholt Report post Posted December 10, 2019 If Linda is outside and the coach engine is running, she can open but not lock the bays with the fob...engine must be turned off to lock! Thankfully the fob does not work on DB. one set in toad, one in coach! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All of our windows are the little 6" high or so by inches long. No way to fit through. You were lucky.

Thankfully the fob does not work on DB. one set in toad, one in coach! If my engine is running I cannot unlock the bays. Never tried it with the door latch and engine running. I also have 3 sets of keys and one of those is a switchblade type key. Push the key button and the key opens up. The other two are regular keys and with my coach, one key opens all except the dead bolt. The push button on is the one I detach from the key ring (snap on) for ignition. The other two are on rings with one in my pocket at all times and one in Earlene's purse. She will sometime take them out and put them in the car. We wish we had a keypad but alas, no. Cheap, eh? Oh, and the ignition key when we are parked at a CG goes in the cabinet next to the satellite antenna control box. Key down, satellite down, within reason. I also hang a red neck lanyard on the steering wheel. Before that lanyard is removed - Ant down, slides in, jacks up, light check performed, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rayin Report post Posted December 14, 2019 When our TriMark remote system died, Camping World replace it with the newer version. The new key fobs have the basement door button, however we have no electric compartment locks. Wayne, after losing the TV antenna to tree limbs one time, DW bought me these steering wheel reminder slappers from rvminders.com. I think she also reminded me I'm old.

manholt Report post Posted December 16, 2019 CharlieIam. Looked at them. IMHO, it all depends on what kind of door you have. Mine is air lock, like a airplane door, I will replace mine but I will go by the recommendation of builder. Due to the home on wheels is a "rolling earthquake", I don't trust a deadbolt...I can't go out a window like Herman and walk away. In a emergency? Yes & then to ER!

Carl I have to say that when I went out the window it was around 2008, 11 years ago and 11 years younger. I was only 71 and still full Pi** and vinegar, now 11 years later it is only Pi** and No vineger. Herman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

urbanhermit Report post Posted June 7, 2020 A young flexible Loves guy went through the driver's window at the first fuel stop on the way home from purchase. I went through once at the next fuel stop and again at the house during the unloading process after The Executive Department closed the door. Not a lock problem -- a latch one. Something out of adjustment and the outside latch release wouldn't release the latch. Necessity is motivational. Coach mechanic took the door apart from the inside and cured it. Mine's too old for a fob. I have three sets of Coach keys. One I leave on board; the other is in the car usually used to drive to the storage lot. A third is with other household keys in a kitchen pantry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
