Type A locks are the ones usually found on a HEHR door or similar; most common on Winnebago and older Jayco motorhomes. The rear of the lock usually has two levers, although some older models only have one lever.
Here are some examples oflocks from older Jayco motorhomes which can easily be replaced by our Type A Digital Keyless Lock (Left-hand).
Type B locks are the ones usually found on fifth wheelers. The rear of the lock usually only has one lever. The striker plate is different because the deadbolt is in a different position.
Type C locks are a compact version of Type B locks. Mainly used on doors where space is a problem. ie. Where there is a full glass window in the door. The opening size is the same as Type B.
Other aspects to consider… (click on an image for larger view)
1. If you have a screen door, make sure it won’t interfere with the new lock as the back plate on the new lock may differ from the original lock.
2. If your door has a window in it, make sure there is enough space between the edge of the door and the window. A minimum of 175mm is needed.
3. Because the old lock may have been a different shape to the new lock, there may be marks that show around your new lock. Consider getting a decal to cover them. Shop here…
