Next issue, super bad lock cylinder… After completely disassembling the lock I figured out to pull the cylinder out I only need to remove a clip, a spring, and the rotation pin. Mine was actually frozen and it was while trying to get it all apart that I unstuck it. And discovered that the deadbolt pin can be unscrewed from the locked position. So I pulled everything apart and poked at it more. If I pull it out in the vertical position after it is locked, I can push and pull the deadbolt pin inside.īut this bothered me that the key, or a screwdriver, could disable the ability to unlock it from inside. I can actually pull it out basically in any position, but let’s leave that alone for a moment now lol. But I was pulling the key out in the horizontal position. Okay not sure if this is how the lock is “supposed” to work…. So far most of the outside dimensions I am finding on normal replacement locks are just slightly smaller than the Bargman cutout…. The standard opening is something like 3 3/4” tall by 2 3/4” wide. Maybe I will pull it out completely and fiddle with it on the bench.ĮDIT: The 元00 cutout is 4 1/2” tall by 4 3/4” wide. In fact I am gonna go back out real quick and see if I can figure out the non-working deadbolt or inside locking issue out. I took mine apart to measure the cutout, and it doesn’t look too rough inside. Replacing just the lock cylinder would be ideal. I have found one full replacement, a Bauer Motorhome Entry Door Lock, BP12RV but at $139 I would rather ghetto it slightly I think with the filler plates and get a power remote latch. If need be, I can rivet two aluminum filler plates to the inside and outside, but I would prefer a simpler/cleaner solution. Plus for some reason mine doesn’t lock from the inside (or it is smarter than me, likely story…). A flat blade would probably work better than the actual key. But I can open it with any key that even “sorta” fits in the hole. But surprise surprise folks our locks Bargman 元00 are stupid expensive at $300 plus (if you can find one) and of COURSE are a larger cutout than ever other silly RV door lock on the market. Seriously, this was supposed to be an EASY ONE.
