I had both sets of keys to the camper in my truck console. I know dumb! I didn't get the extra set put back in wifes purse last time I used them... Someone broke in to the truck and took both sets why I have no clue.

What's the easiest way inside to get lock replaced. There is no code on the door to order another set.
Is there a way keystone can look it up via vin?

How hard is it to get in thru emergency window?

Thanks guys.....

Keep in mind if you keep the trailer at your house that the thief probably looked at your registration in the glove box and knows where your trailer is

They may be waiting a week or so and will see if they can get in

Curtis, trying not to pile on, but your statement "Someone broke in to the truck and took both sets. Why I have no clue."
The evil twins who broke in aren't going to take time to inventory the stuff they're taking. And why does Momma have a set and you have a set? And why would she trust you with hers when you have your own? (Yes, sorry, I am piling on) Just use one set and put the other in a magnetic box as George suggested and hide it somewhere. On the RV, not in the truck. Or simply have a third made and put it in the magnetic box.

Her set were closer to me at some point, but someone never returned them.

The trailer is 30 minutes away in storage. And they didn't touch registration.

Buddy at work just gave me his pic set and I practiced on a similar camlock to storage lock. Going to try and go tomorrow.

Curtis if you get in (that looks like a 751 lock so should be pretty simple) get the codes from the locks and try rvlocksandmore.com. GET SOME SPARES! First thing I did was determine what keys I had and ordered like 4 of all of them (yes, we're forgetful). Keep a set in the truck, in my pocket, with DW and in the RV, and others...hmmm, I don't really know where they are right now.

I tried to tell DW it happens, but she wasn't agreeing.....

I put the rv lock keyless entry on my fifth wheel..it’s really convenient when we are going to the beach or a bike ride…it has a key backup as well and you can use keypad and key to lock deadbolt if you want double security…I really only use the deadbolt for towing though

Our previous trailer had the pass thru pillaged while in storage. Someone had a 751 key and emptied them ajll out. That's when I found rvlocksandmore.com. Changed all locks over to one key. When we bought this camper I did the same on day one. Each cam lock comes with 2 keys so I ended up with about 18 keys. One on each key ring, one in center console of each truck, and the remainder in the tool box with the extra cam locks, cams, nuts, gaskets etc

That was fun!!!!!!!! I jimmied the storage lock and pushed the cushions out of the way eventually. Got in and luckily didn't have to take the latch off the sticker was right there. Granted it's a brand new camper so I haven't messed with it. The hole was a little tight. This pic is with door closed but you get the idea. If I weighed my winter weight I wasn't getting through without popping some bracing!.

now to the lock website!

Funny thing. I unlatched dead bolt and opened door. Once shut the paddle lock was still locked from the outside.

That's how that style work. If the top lock is locked with a key then it will open from the inside so you aren't locked in the event of an emergency but the outdoor latch will still be inoperative until unlocked with a key.

Funny if you would have had to break in all over again lol

My watch clasp came of worming my way in. I tried to go back in to get it and found out it was locked. No watch today! I wasn't going back through that again!

Sorry to hear that but sounds like you learned something else so "your time wasn't wasted".

The lock in that photo is almost surely a CH751. Borrow a key from virtually anybody who owns a trailer.

Neither the dealer nor Keystone will have a record of the number on your door locks, because the doors come from Lippert with arbitrary locks already installed, and the line workers just grab doors off the pile, install them, and save the keys inside. That's why when you buy a two-door unit, you very rarely get the doors keyed alike.

If your rig is outfitted with the common Global Link door latches, you can buy replacement keys and locksets here. (You can also buy spare CH751s there, as well as a million other places on the web.)

If you had a photo of your old keys that showed the number printed on the sides, you could just order a duplicate at that same page that would immediately work in your lock.

This should serve as a handy reminder to all those folks who have not (yet) had their keys lost or stolen to take a photo of their keys with the numbers showing.

The code for my keys was with my manuals. I know those might be inside you trailer but by chance are they inside your house? You can then get the code and go to etrailer.com and get a new one.

Isn't that comforting to know that the ease of getting into 80% of RV's is for sale cheap on Amazon.
Time to change some locks I guess.
Good luck to OP.

Check with a few neighbors in the campground.
Baggage doors ate almost always keyed with 1 or 2 different locks. My bro-in-law 2000 trailer has same bag door keys as my 2020.
Keystone used a few different keyed door locks but someone in the camp is bound to have same lock.

Had to use the stabilizer jack handle to flip up the escape style window latches behind the couch and shove my 11 yr old through it. The compartment door wasn't locked. Lost my keys at a rest stop while walking the dog and didn't realize it till we got to our destination. Takes an extra person to watch up top and direct you to flip the latches.

Truth of the matter is that it doesn't take a "master key from Amazon" to break into most any RV. All it takes is a 12" common screwdriver to pry open the "easily bendable door frame" or if a thief is in a hurry, a swift "boot kick to the center of the door" and he's in.... Don't let Amazon selling a "master key for Global Locks or FIC locks discourage your security protocols".... Any lock you install on an RV door is only "icing on the cake". Truth is, it's the door that is the weakest link, not the lock. Changing locks is only a means to fool yourself, not discourage any "thief with average competence".....

When our camper was broken into in a storage lot (along with about 30 others) the guy pried open the window next to the door . Other campers he went thru other windows hut not one lock was breached. Locks are as they say "keep honest people honest".
