Listers,
I've fabricated a pretty inexpensive cabin door lock for my RV-10. It
seems to work well.
Photos and text are at my web page,
<http://home.earthlink.net/~timrv6a>. Scroll down near the bottom, and
click the "Door Locks" link.

I like the solution. Now where are you going to get the 3rd lock for
the passenger side?
Another door lock solution is by Palle Olesen here <http://www.rv10.dk/>
to the bottom of the page. Not as simple as Tim's.

I had the same thought. One possibility would be to have a simple lock on
the inside (2x4 against the handle ) and only have a true external
accessible lock on the pilot's side.

I plan to lock the passenger door from inside only -- no external lock.�
�
One very simple method would be to drill a pair of vertically-oriented holes through the interior door handle on the forward, outboard corner.� To lock the door, drop a bolt or nail thru the hole pair.� This would prevent the latch from being pressed, so the handle could not be rotated.�

About those locks with identical keys. Some one has already posted several months ago about a source in WA. I bought three packages with two locks in each all identically keyed for $20 total. Identical to the aviation lock except the retaining washer for the inside. We will fab a washer or glue the locknut in place.

Tim,
Can you give the dimensions of your LOCK for the RV 10 door?� Size of hole in door.........length of cam lock........length of locking bar..............etc.��� I have seen several locks like this on office furniture.........desk drawers, file cabinets, curio cabinets........etc.
Thanks,
DEAN

I mentioned this a while ago on the list, but wasn't sure if it would
work for a door lock. I'm not familiar with Zinc in relation to
corrosion, so not sure about that. I was planning on attempting to use
this for the baggage door lock, but it may be reasonable for a door lock
also? I like the idea of a combination as opposed to a key as I am
prone to loosing them.

I like the combination lock idea, as I share in the lost-key syndrome.
It appears that the lock protrudes quite away out from the surface, and
that's a bit of a turnoff for me. don't have a clue as to zinc's
corrosive properties.
