Locks aren't the most glamorous part of an RV but they matter. We get a lot of "I lost my key" calls (every dealer-key fits dozens of rigs - which is bad and also why your spare keys probably work on your neighbor's rig at the campground), "my latch broke" calls, and "I want to upgrade to keyless" calls. All three are doable in one visit.

The bigger conversation is security. Most RV factory-locks are basic, and most factory-locks share keys with thousands of other rigs of the same model. If you've ever found that your key opens your friend's identical-model rig, you know what I mean. Real security needs a real lock upgrade.

Why Locks & Security Fails Faster in Florida

Factory RV locks are made cheap on purpose - the manufacturer assumes you'll upgrade if you care. Pin tumblers wear out, latches stick, and the keyway gets crud in it from rain and dust. After 5-7 years of normal use, most factory door locks need either a full replacement or a serious clean-and-rebuild.

Storage-bay locks are even worse - they're designed for cost, not durability. Rust seizes them, the keyway gets gummy, and once they fail, the only fix is a full replacement (sometimes drilling the old one out).

What We Fix - Locks & Security

What Our Locks & Security Service Includes

Lock service starts with diagnosis. We try the existing key, try a master key (most factory RV locks have a small set of master keys), inspect the lock cylinder, and look at the latch alignment. From there we either rekey, replace, or upgrade.

Most lock work is one-visit. Keyless-entry installs run 90 minutes per door. Full security upgrades (multiple locks + cameras + monitoring) run a half-day.

Keyless entry installs

RVlock keypad locks, BAUER keypads, and Yale combo locks. We install and program.

Lock rekeying

Rekey to a new key code so your old key doesn't work anymore - useful if you bought used.

Bay door locks

Storage compartment lock replacement. We carry common sizes and we drill out seized locks when we have to.

Security cameras

Wireless camera installs (Reolink, Wyze, Lorex) for storage-lot or in-rig monitoring.

Florida-Specific Locks & Security Considerations

Florida has a higher RV-theft rate than most states because there are more RVs here than anywhere else. Most thefts target storage-lot rigs over campground rigs. If you store unattended, security upgrades pay for themselves the first time.

Hurricane season specifically - we see a spike in storage-lot break-ins during evacuation periods when rigs are unattended. A simple wireless camera ($245-$385 installed) is excellent insurance.

Emergency Locks & Security Service Across Florida

Locked out of your rig is a same-day call when we can do it. Call (833) 465-8787 and we'll work through phone diagnostics first - sometimes a stuck lock just needs lubrication or a wiggle. If we have to come out, we usually can same-day or next-day.

If your rig was broken into, document everything with photos before you touch anything, file the police report first, then call us for the repair. We work with insurance carriers.

FAQ

Locks & Security - Common Questions

Straight answers from our locks & security call log.

My door lock won't unlock with the key - what is it?

Usually a sticky pin tumbler or a worn key. Sometimes a misaligned latch. Quick diagnostic at your site - $145, often a same-visit fix. - Marc

Can you install a keyless entry?

Yes - RVlock and BAUER keypads are popular. About $385-$685 installed per door. Programmable codes, no more spare keys.

Do RVs really share keys?

Yes, lots of them. Factory RV locks use small master-key sets. Your key probably opens dozens of identical-model rigs. Worth upgrading if security matters to you.

Can you rekey my locks?

Yes - we rekey factory locks to a new key code for $185-$285. Useful if you bought used and don't know who else has keys.

Should I install cameras in my rig?

Worth it for unattended storage. We install wireless Reolink and Wyze cameras that work via your phone - about $245-$385 per camera. - Marc

My bay door lock is rusted shut - can it be fixed?

Sometimes yes (penetrating oil + cleaning), often no (drill out and replace). Either way it's about $145-$245 per lock.

Can you match all my bay locks to a single key?

Yes - we replace all bay locks with matched-key cylinders. About $485-$785 for a typical Class A with 8-10 bay doors.

What's the difference between a deadbolt and the factory door lock?

Deadbolts are sturdier and harder to defeat. We add a deadbolt above the factory lock for $245-$385. Best security upgrade per dollar.

Will security cameras drain my battery?

Wireless cameras run off small internal batteries that last 1-3 months between charges. Doesn't drain your house bank. Some setups can also tap into solar-charged 12V.

Can you install a hidden safe?

Yes - floor-mounted or wall-mounted. Electronic or mechanical combination. Plan on $385-$685 installed depending on size and location. - Marc
