New Entry Door Lock?

[reubenray]

I want to change out entry door lock. I found a RVLock model which has two fobs. Lippert has a bluetooth lock with fobs that will fit also. They are just about the same price.

Which one works best?

Make sure you check the footprint of the new lock. I remember a thread where the new lock didn't completely cover the hole in the door from the original lock. And the aftermarket lock company said to fill the hole with silicone. Didn't seem like a secure suggestion to me.

No experience (or even seen) the Lippert version. However, as a general rule electronics from Lippert are...um...well...not stellar. I have RVLocks on the main door of my rig and all three storage doors. Except for the nuisance of having to replace batteries on occasion (and replacing the face numbers sticker 'cause the sun obliterates it) I like it. RVLock even has a bluetooth version now, though I am unfamiliar with that product.

If you get and use the Lippert version (or bluetooth RVLock), please post your impression of the product.

_{I agree. I steer clear of Lippert/Furrion products whenever there is an alternative.}

Thanks for the replies back. After having issues with the TireLinc TPMS I wanted to make sure the door lock was not snake bitten also. I will order something from RVLock when I get back home.

I have had an RVLock since I bought my unit (2018). It has been great, I have had a couple issues and all were dealt with with no pushback at all. I had the decal with the numbers start to crack after several years, which is a part they sell for a modest cost. Earlier this year (after six years of use) the inside handle is held on by a pin that elongated its hole and started to fall out. I was able to push it back into place but eventually it would not stay. I emailed them and they sent me a new inside piece no questions asked. Then last week the electronics failed, it started making an odd noise and then stopped responding. I opened it up and found I pinched wire that was skinned that I think shorted out when I reassembled it. Again they sent me a new lock with no questions asked. We are part time, 6-8 months out of the year in the rig and the lock gets a lot of use, I am very happy with it and the support from the company.

I would recommend buying directly from them, my warranty only required my order number from my original purchase. I am sure there is a process to get warranty if you did not purchase from them, but it might be more complicated.

I am on my second one of these in 10 years. I like being able to use my phone to unlock rather than a fob. Our first one we moved to 3 different rigs and then it finally died about 6 months ago, went with the same brand again as GD used the brand for all of the baggage doors and was able to match the key.

We have had the RV lock for about three years with no problems. Was a perfect fit for our 320MKS. I just change the batteries as an annual precaution. Better safe than sorry

RV Lock came out with a bluetooth option.

We too dumped the TireLinc after many issues. We have had the RVLock installed on main door for about three years now. As a prevention measure I simply change the AA batteries annually so I don't get caught with a dead door battery.
