RV lock replacement key pad

[Patriot]

A little fall maintenance on Hull# 634.

If you own an RV lock it’s only a matter of time before the original cheap plastic key pad wears out. I called and ordered a new replacement from RVlock.com for $16.00 shipped. The install is pretty straight forward and the new silicone key pad hopefully will last much longer.

Cheers!

Do the locks come with key fobs, too?

I believe ours came with one key fob and we ordered an extra.

I did this recently too but I don't expect this expensive sticker to last very long...seems it should be more stout.

The new pad I ordered is made of silicone and appears much more durable than the old plastic one.
 

I guess time will tell.

I just got two new pads and they seem to be the same as the original in my 2020 build. I also had to replace the PC board, which was more of a hassle. It would not allow the code to be reset.  Silicone under pad was fine. 
 

PC board plug to locking circuit originally had some type of black sealant to hold it tight. I may be going back in there, if it wiggles loose. Board is held in frame by two small protrusions, tedious to get it out and in, without damaging board.

Ralph,

I actually had to request the new silicone replacement pad. The lady at RVlocks gave me a choice of replacing my old plastic key pad with the exact same plastic key pad or paying a few bucks more for the all silicone pad. I opted for the newer all silicone key pad. FWIW. I had no trouble with install taking my time. 

I really like the convenience of not carrying a ring of keys.

Nice to know, thanks...
