Hello all,



I'm wondering if anyone has solved this problem: I am trying to find three door locks, one for the baggage door and one each for the main doors. Spruce sells a set of two, but I'm not sure if these can be re-keyed. I'd like for all three locks to use the same key if possible.



By the way, my ignition will not have a key as it uses the Vertical Power system.



Any help would be appreciated.

You can get them from iflyrv10.com.



If you are more energetic, you may be able to pick them up at home depot or

lowes.  Your local locksmith should also be able to assist.  Most sell

hardware.

If you are using a keyed ignition switch, you can special order from ACS a switch and three door/baggage locks all keyed alike. A little more expensive to special order, but I really like having only one key for everything.

Just a bit of a heads up for those not based in the US of A, I ordered the 2 lock system from Spruce, but only received one key.  When I tried to have a duplicate cut here in Oz, I could not find a locksmith that had key blanks that matched the US style.  So I still only have one key (that I am VERY careful with) until I find a local distributor for cam locks of the appropriate size.

Aircraft Spruce does sell blank keys (uncut).



I special ordered a third door lock from spruce to have it match the 

other locks.  Call them, they make the process easy.

Mike,

 I own a hardware store with a resident locksmith and a laarge inventory of "Cam Locks" also known as vending machine locks.  I would suggest however that you go to a local locksmith to buy them because the lock cams may need adjustment etc to suit your particular installation, also, he will be able to set up all three locks with the same key eliminating the nusiance of careing  3 different keys.  If you need more info, call me (at) 920  619 6968.

  Good Luck

Thanks to Dick and everyone else who responded. 



So "Cam Lock" is the official name for these things, huh? Now that I know what they are called I did a search on McMaster-Carr and found a nice selection. They can be ordered with the same key number.

Ron, a friend of mine is a 182 owner, and took my key and went over to the local FBO and bought several blanks directly from them ... apparently, they're the same as the Cessna keys.

I got mine from Lowes or Home depot, don't remember which.  Just match the numbers on the package for keyed alike.  I think I spent less than $20 for all three.

Also be aware that some cam locks are longer than those sold by Van's or ACS, and will not fit within the depth of the baggage door.

Ron,

  Same situation here in the US regarding the key blanks.  However you can

order a blank from Spruce.  I suspect any key maker could cut the blank, the

trick is just getting the blank.

Thanks Marcus,



I did not realise that you had the same problem over there.  I responded to a few guys off list that I was about to head to the States on business and would get some keys cut whilst there.  But given this new intel, I will order some blanks from Spruce.



Cheers

Ron
