I have a sliding canopy RV6 with a canopy rail type locking latch. I have a
situation where I need to replace it due to a key mishap where I had to drill
it out to get back in to my locked canopy at a remote airport. Anyway I cannot
find a receipt to where I purchased it and was wondering if anybody remembers
seeing these locks made for the side skirt & slot in canopy rail for the 6, 7,
9 canopies. The key says ACS on it and I thought it would be Aircraft Spruce
but I checked old catalogues that I have and haven't found it, even called them
they said no such thing. They did have a mini canopy latch which I ordered and
it is too small to fill the hole. It's the same idea though, a blade that
turns 90 deg.& slips into the slotted rail. Anybody remember seeing these
anywhere? Thanks,
Dave Ford

You might check the hole diameter in your canopy skirt and see if your local
hardware store or Home Depot has a cabinet type lock that will fit. Some
customization of the little swing arm may be required...
I'm pretty sure that's where I got the lock I put on the canopy of my RV-6.

Dave: I received my locking latch with my ignition switch. I just checked and Vans still has it listed in my catalog. Of course I don't know if they will sell the canopy lock separately.

Hi Dave,
There is a strong likelihood that you will find a replacement lock cylinder
at your local locksmith shop.
The locksmith near me had several options to offer.

Dave,
I did locksmith work in my hardware store for 40 years. You are describing
a standard "vending machine or cam lock". They are available at most good
hardware stores or locksmiths. The are available in a large variation in
lengths of the body portion, and also different lengths and offsets of the
operating cam. I have one installed on my RV8.

Beware if you purchase one from a hardware store that the key will be allowed to be removed when the lock is open. I have one of these and it is useless for my RV. I cannot get the key out unless the lock is closed. Would look funny flying with the key hanging out the outside of the canopy.
