RV10 Cabin Door Locks
Guys,
To make a locking slide block for the right hand door, rivet (3) pieces of .063” aluminum ½” wide and 1 ½” long with one piece of .032” aluminum ½” wide and 2 ½” long so that the .032” aluminum layer projects 1” longer than the .063” pieces. ( Three .063” aluminum layers and one .032” layer should be the thickness of the inside of the door handle) Countersink the rivets on each side so the laminated layers are smooth.
File the width of the laminated pieces down so it slides inside the door handle but leave it big enough on the protruding end that sticks out of the handle so the laminated aluminum bar will not slide completely into the handle. You should have a rectangular bar that slides into the handle with a larger crosspiece on one end (a T-shape). The .032” layer projects farther into the handle to make your slide mechanism. You can shorten the sliding bar, trim the T-part down, etc. to make it look neat and just long enough to slide over the push pin on the latch.
Drill a # 30 hole in the center line of the handle about 1/8” beyond the inner tip of the rectangular part of the bar through just the inside thickness of the handle (not all the way through the handle). Match this hole with a hole in the protruding .032” projection in the handle with the bar slid into the handle over the push button. Then pull the bar back in the handle to allow the latch release pin to be pushed in and drill another hole in the .032” layer. This gives you a maximum and minimum reference of travel of the sliding bar. Slot the .032” layer between the two holes.
Put a pop rivet through the handle, through the slot on the sliding bar and a #4 washer on the back side. Pull the pop rivet up to hold the slide but NOT TOO TIGHT so the bar won’t slide. Cut the mandrel of the rivet off and push the head back through.
