I tried to install my new, custom ordered door lock yesterday in the baggage door and found that the included cam was too short.  When I attempted to use the one I had, I realized that these door locks are "clocked" 45 degrees off of what they would need to be for the cam to be level in the closed position.  



The included cam has an 8 point mounting hole that allows it to be clocked to the desired position, but the one I have is square.  I called the manufacturer and they do not make a longer cam.  Does anyone have a source for longer cams that have an 8 point mounting hole?  If not, what has everyone else been doing?  

Thanks,

Shannon

I took the square holed cam, cut and welded it to the octagonal cam and bent it to make it work.

I believe my kit from Vans came with a long cam for this purpose.

Because the cutout is square in the Vans supplied cam, It will not rotate properly.  When the lock is installed in the door, it is off by 45 degrees.  The only way I can see making it work is to modify the square opening to an 8 point opening.  Attached is a crude drawing of what is happening.

A locksmith or HD can fix you up with the correct latch.

I agree with William. Vans included a longer cam that replaces the one that comes with the lock.  I ended up making one so that I could embed a disk magnet in it and then installed a reed switch in the door jamb. That switch is hooked in series with the passenger door switches.  All 5 switches are hooked in series, 2 per passenger and one on the luggage door.  Therefore, if any door is not latched, I get an indicator on my panel telling me, just not which one.  i bought both the magnet and switch from Amazon.
