Pre-Installation Checklist
Before beginning your RV Door Lock Replacement, verify the following:
- Your new Keyless RV Door Lock includes separate interior and exterior lock bodies.
- The installation hole measures: 2.75″ (Length) × 3.75″ (Height) × 1.25-1.5″ (Thickness).
- Important: A connecting wire links both components. Carefully disconnect the plug before proceeding.
Step 1: Prepare and Mount the External Lock
- Remove the four installation screws from your new RV Keyless Entry Door Lock assembly and disconnect the wiring plug.
- From the exterior side of your RV door, carefully insert the external lock body into the prepared opening.
- Critical: Route the connecting wires safely to prevent crushing or damage during installation.
- Align the latch mechanism with the door edge hole and position the included strike plate.
- Insert the strike plate screws but do not fully tighten—final adjustments come later.
Step 2: Install the Interior Lock Body
- From inside your RV, reconnect the wiring plug between the interior and exterior lock bodies.
- Align the interior unit with the door cutout. Note the D-shaped mounting hole—correct orientation is essential.
- Carefully align the reset mechanism on the interior handle with the corresponding slot in the external latch assembly.
- Install all four mounting screws finger-tight.
- Adjust both lock bodies for optimal alignment, then securely tighten all screws. Your RV Door Lock main assembly is now complete.
Step 3: Install and Adjust the Strike Plate (Pinch Plate)
- You may use your RV’s existing strike plate or install the upgraded plate included with your RV Keyless Entry Door Lock.
- Select appropriate screws from the two provided specifications to match your door’s requirements.
- Mount the strike plate to the door jamb.
- Crucial Testing: Close and latch the door repeatedly, adjusting the strike plate position until the latch engages smoothly and securely. Tighten all screws once optimal alignment is achieved.
Final Setup & Pro Tips
Power and Initial Configuration

Expert Recommendations for RV Locks
- Wire Protection: Throughout installation, ensure connecting wires remain uncompressed and clear of moving components to prevent damage.
- Backup Planning: Always store your mechanical backup key in a secure location outside your RV. This is essential for emergency access during power failures.
