      Actually most of them appear to be cheap off-shore clones of the ch751. I had a RV years ago and could pick it open with the awl attachment on my pocket knife. I had a bolt and latch on the door added to effectively turn it into a gate. I figured a decent padlock would offer a small amount of extra security versus, well, none at all.

    I have a similar lock set on the side door of my utility trailer. On mine the spring lock can still be opened from inside even if the outside handle is locked which makes sense so that you can't get locked inside by accident.
    I don't think they put much into these locks because quite frankly they are still stronger than the doors and jams on the typical RV. As usual, locks mostly serve to keep honest people honest.

    I was a lot porter at an RV dealership for a year and a half. I had to break into numerous campers of various types for a half dozen legal reasons. What is funnier is opening the slides and awnings from inside a storage compartment, with no lock on it. Also, the good old CH751 will get you inside of most storage compartments on any given camper.
    And Bill, why would you put a Fort Knoxx tier lock on a door that you can kick a man sized hole into? Or on a camper that you can easily cut a hole into with basic hand tools. Or pop a window out, or come in through the roof vents.

    Haven't seen this mentioned yet but its also standard on 5th wheels and even higher end travel trailers a brand uses a specific lock. So for example my cousin had keys that would work in my doors and i had keys that worked in his doors, and the storage area keys my cousin had would open their neighbors door. So we found really quick that some manufacturers re-use the same keying and there is a good chance they already have a key for your door. Also telling when i went to a dealer and the sales guy only had 10 keys on his ring for all the trailers on the lot..

    Believe it, I was an RV tech, and we had about 8 masters to open basically all RV's. For years all your compartment doors on all trailers were 743 keys. so your key would open the compartment door of every other trailer/RV. Most RV's will have a compartment accessible from inside and outside, which mean you can crawl into the RV 90% of the time. They do have RV deadbolts, I would invest in one and have all my compartments re-keyed.

One of my locks are button push but the entire mechanism seems cheesy. The lock on my small truck camper is touchscreen buttons but the mechanism seems very sturdy and well made. The down side, I just discovered, is with extreme heat the touch screen buttons do not want to work. Direct West Texas sunlight. I had to cool it with the water hose before I could gain entry.

    They actually have stainless door and compartment locks thar can be equip with security key ways including Abloy Protec; my cousin has a Provost coach that has electronic locks and Abloy Protec on the compartments and a digital keypad, I don’t recall who makes it built into the side door. The two front doors also have Protecs. The coach was just over $1.5M though so I’d hope for better security. It also has some 8 cameras linked to the on board network do you can check on it when you’re not in it. It’s too bad you need to spend so much to get done security because the money is there especially when security upgrades during construction aren’t that much more. When I bought an enclosed trailer I recall most were keyed alike as my key opened probably 80% of the RV style lock side entry doors. I swapped it out right away to a solid body, pin tumbler lock which only had deadbolt locking. Once you learn a little about security and vulnerabilities you realize just how lacking security is in the US.

    Like so many things out there no-one makes a more secure alternative because there is no market. The number of RV owners who would actually care enough to buy a good quality lock (even something with the core from a $5 door knob lock set from Home Depot would be more secure than this) is not enough for anyone to bother making something better.

    Wow, not only does the state of the lock telegraph whether you're home, that state is obviously visible without even having to check on the lock manually! Yikes!

    In this country lockpicking is not really a danger. Methods like drilling/cutting or hinge-breaking are. Possibly even bypassing a lock might be considered, but I think that's a quite far reach.
    So: I'm watching these mainly for the entertainment value. I hope you will give us more content in bypassing/cutting bike locks.

    Locks only keep the honest people honest. If a crook wants in your RV they will get in whether it be picking locks or smashing a window.

    An rv or camper is actually somewhere where you want the lock to be trash, easy to break open. Why? because it's the cheapest thing to replace when a nice kick will put a hole through the wall. if someone wants to get in your RV, I'd prefer they break a $20 lock than cause several thousand dollars of damage elsewhere.
    For what it's worth, currently rebuilding some rotted out framing on a camper... these things are built with the bare minimum structure that will hold it together (thin fiberglass or aluminum siding, 1 inch x 1.5 inch framing and 1/8 inch paneling make up the entirety of the wall, all held together with staples). a good kick will go through a wall, a nice yank on the siding will rip it off, or, I suspect, any proper thieves would used a battery operated sawzall and be in in 30 seconds... causing untold thousands of dollars in damage on the way.

    @BosnianBill I have seen others using these www.amazon.com/RVLock-Keyless-Handle-Integrated-Keypad/dp/B00N58KQMQ/ and thought about them myself. They seem a little more premium. I have not made the switch as there isn't any real reviews as to their security. Also as I said in a different comment, most people (that I know anyway) lock the handle from the outside when going to bed. It doesn't make it any more secure, however it does tell others that the door is locked. Otherwise people will try to open it if the handle moves (not knowing the deadbolt is engaged) and break the handle off. I've replaced 2 of them for this exact reason. As an additional note. Myself and 11 other families go camping together every year. Each with their own RV. The sticker price on each family's trailer ranges from ~$30K to ~$250k. 2 years ago the owner of the other higher end units lost their keys. I made a point to explain that most keys are the same. My set of keys opened 4 of the main doors, and 8 of the storage hatches.

    There are two other issues. The first is a rumor. (But, isn't a rumor just a premature fact?) The second I have experienced.
    I was told that the top lock is master keyed and there are plenty of keys floating around. Of course it doesn't take much to jiggle your way in.
    The linkage can fail over time. It fails secure. (There's a reason why I tell you not to slam my door.) My sweetheart was just home from surgery and had to drag herself out of bed, locate a screwdriver and pull four screws from the inside because neither the key nor the lever would operate the deadbolt. After that, I was able to uninstall the entire lock to gain access.
    Many RVers choose to install a legitimate deadbolt lock. But, the truth is that the door has thin skins and a styrofoam core and will not withstand a modest brute-force attack.
    But, we're used to this kind of thing. We all have CH751s and reciprocal access to each other's storage compartments, unless the locks have upgraded.🙄

    You can lock the outside handle and still get out from the inside. So it is totally possible for both locks to be locked and somebody inside.

    Mobile homes/RVs are way over priced and not protected by tons of laws that would protect any other vehicle (like most places the Lemon laws dont protect RVs). If you don't get one custom made... It's likely a peice of junk wth a fancy veneer... No matter what you paid for it.

    Hopefully whatever lock is securing the ignition is a bit stronger so they can't simply drive it away afterwards. I looked into RVs last year and one of the things I noticed is they all have really shitty locks on them.
