18-3329 1-1/8" ACE Camlock- Pack of 4, Bronze

The locks look nice, but take a picture of the back of the package Prime Products! Now I've done it for you, and I have locks I can't use. For the 5/8" cam-locks: you need a 3/4" cutout to put the lock in, the usable thread length is 1/2", the length from the back of lock face to the "locking-arm" is 5/8". In case that's unclear check the picture of the back of the package. These 5/8" cam locks were too short for my RV storage doors, I need 7/8" instead. I recommend removing your existing lock and measuring it to be sure you are ordering the correct size...hind sight is priceless.

NOTE: The key can not be removed from the lock when in the "un-locked" position. This makes it impossible to unlock multiple baggage doors at the same time with a single key. I guess these are designed to be pull latches more than just locks.

The locks appear to be well made, and include both straight and offset latches. The outside is chromed but the inside components are not and I suspect it will not be long before they start to rust -- but that seems to be true with all locks of this type.I have three complaints:1. You have to leave the key in when the lock is unlocked. I like to unlock my storage doors when camping, and only lock them back when leaving the camper for more than a few minutes. I can't do that unless I leave a key in every lock, and I have four locks and only two keys.2. Based on one of questions that the seller answered here, it sounds like every locked is keyed the same that this seller offers. That can't possibly be true, so I am hoping they will clarify that point.3. It would be nice if the locks came with washers/collars for both the inside and the outside. That would increase the area the lock has to tighten to the door and reduce compression on the door itself from trying to tighten the lock down during installation. My original locks had them but they were too worn to reuse....I will dig them up on Amazon or Ebay I guess.

Perfect fit on Forest River Toy Hauler. No issues with lose door in closed position, firm press against frame gasket. Locks don't have much of a lip, so I bought drain plug gaskets that are a perfect fit around lock, painted them, adds extra protection by not allowing lock to slip through hole when someone trying pry door open. With dual lock doors, take both keys with you because key does not come out in the open position. Just email company for a spare key in case you lose them.

UPDATE 7/18/20: These are terrible locks. If you tighten them down too much, they won’t turn. If you don’t tighten them enough, the nut comes loose after three or four turns of the key. If you unlock the lock (provided it works) you cannot remove the key until you re-lock it. Extremely inconvenient. It’s like no matter what you do, it doesn’t work correctly. I managed to get it working just enough to use and that lasted maybe a month, now the threaded stud at the back is partially stripped and the metal latch piece is wallowed out from trying to turn the key to open the lock, so you can turn the key, but the tab only rotates about half the distance of stud, so you have to literally force it open. These looked and felt like quality, but they simply do not stand up the even minimal use, in my experience. Definitely wish I could return them, but it’s been a year or so since purchase. Very disappointed.I bought these roughly a year ago and am just now installing the first one on a closet door. Installation was easy enough and they seem pretty heavy duty. They come with flat and offset lock tabs in case the lock is not quite deep enough to fit behind the surface to which it holds the door closed. Action is fairly smooth.CONS: I do not like that the key can’t be removed unless the lock is engaged. I don’t need the door locked at all times, and I already foresee great annoyance always needing to have the key handy, but you have no choice if you want to close the door. On the bright side, you can’t accidentally forget to lock it when you need to.

After finding out that my key can open pretty much every other camper ever sold and their key can also open mine, I decided I wanted to make my camper a little more secure. I installed these on my camper and I feel a lot more comfortable leaving my camper alone at a campsite without having to worry as much about someone just walking up and using their own key to open up the storage doors on my camper. They fit perfectly in the door and feel really secure when locked. The only thing I'm not really sure I like is when the lock is unlocked, the key won't come out until it is locked again. Other than that I would highly recommend these locks, and I also recommend that everybody change their locks if they haven't already.

My travel trailer has three compartments, all using the common CH751 key. I popped the locks off and replaced them with these. Took about five minutes per lock. I don't know if this is also a common RV key , but it's at least not as common as the CH751, so my stuff is at least a little more secure. (CH751 is the most common RV key, and so anyone can easily access your "locked" compartments unless you rekey them or replace the locks.) Unfortunately, I didn't notice before I purchased these that you can't pull the key out while it's unlocked. However, as a work around, if I need to prop the compartment doors open, I just put the lock back in the lock position with the door open. It works. It also works as a reminder if I go to close the door and forget to lock it because the door won't close all the way.

Came with a multitude of parts to fit just about any application for this thickness. Make sure to measure to right door thickness.As with all round key locks, the key is retained when in the unlocked position. To be able to remove key, you must turn tumbler to the locked position. A simple modification of removing the retaining tab on the key will enable the key to be removed from the lock in the "unlocked" position.Direct fit for Forest River R-Pod doors.Solid quality

Looking at getting the cam lock upgraded as everyone has a 751 key for the external locks. Set comes with 2 keys so I have my wife keep one incase I loose it ;) Now when the locks are shipped the key has a tab ont the top that prevents you from removing the key when it is not aligned with the notch in the center, just file this tab off and you will be able to remove it from the lock no matter if it is locked or unlocked.
