RVLock Keyless Entry Lock

[Frank C]

One of those annoying little failures of RV hardware.  One of the battery spring contacts in the RVLock keyless lock battery compartment broke off after just over 2 years.   Red arrow in first photo points to where the missing spring should be.  Out of warranty, and I tried contacting RVLock but received no reply.   Fortunately I found replacement AA battery contacts on Amazon.   An easy fix.  The upper contact plate just slides out.  Second photo shows the old contact plate on the left (missing the spring), and the new one from Amazon on the right.  Although the Amazon sourced contact plate is a slightly different shape, the contact spacing is standard for AA batteries and the plate fit into the compartment perfectly.   Lock working perfectly again.
