RV10 Cabin Door Locks
Guys,
To put the extra keyed lock in the Pilot’s door, remove the upholstery from the inside of the door exposing the lock assembly. Drill a #40 bit pilot hole through the door 1 3/8” forward of the end of the lower geared bar of the door latch with the door latch closed ( gear bar slid back). This should place the keyed lock barrel so that when the bar on the keyed lock is turned it will line up with the geared latch bar and prevent the geared bar from moving forward. The keyed lock bar will have to be bent up (in an S-shape) about 3/16” to match the end of the geared bar.
If things look good, cut a hole in the outside layer of Lexan the size of the keyed lock barrel using a step drill. Put the lock in this hole from time to time to make sure things clear and fit. Cut a slot into the front of the door latch recess (like the sliding bar in the back of the recess) so the key lock bar can turn into the recess and touch the door latch gear bar. Bend the key lock bar so it matches the gear bar. If it is a little short, you can weld a little on the end of the key bar.
Enlarge the inner panel hole so the key lock’s barrel nut and star washer can be threaded on. Make sure the key lock bar engages the latch’s gear bar. Again, bend or lengthen if necessary.
Make a piece of .032” aluminum about 1 ˝” square so it covers the inside Lexan hole but doesn’t impede the latch assembly. Drill a #6 screw sized hole in the center of the .032” aluminum plate. This hole will let you put the #6 screw into the end of the lock to hold the key lock bar in place and support the lock in the door.
Make sure everything aligns properly and works smoothly. Then drill 3/32” holes in the corners of the aluminum plate and inner layer of Lexan. Countersink the aluminum holes. Put (3) #6 spacer washers under the aluminum plate and over the end of the lock above the lock bar. Rivet the aluminum plate in place. Done.
