Kingsley Tubular Cam Lock With 1-1/2" Cylinder - Chrome Finish, Keyed Alike, RV Replacement, Camper, Cabinet, ATM, Vending Machine, Tool Box, File Cabinet, Arcade

Great Product

So I picked up a gun cabinet still in box but the box was damaged so I got it for a great deal, unfortunately the keys had fallen out of the damaged box so after I got the old lock off this one matched the size so i ordered it. It fit perfectly and worked with locking bars inside the cabinet. It was so easy to install, took only 2 minutes. The lock is so smooth when I turn the key. I’m very impressed with the lock. I would definitely order more if I ever need another one for something else

Seemed well made. I could NOT get it to fit.

Excellent tubular locks.These are keyed alike, the bitting code for both locks I received is 2363573 key code 10001.These use a standard 137B key blank, so duplicate keys are easy to make.You can take the key out in either the opened or locked position.The takedown pin is not threaded, so you would have to drill it out, tap the hole, and put in a new pin to rekey the lock. The pin does appear to be brass, so the drilling process should be easyA tailpiece is included and can be installed in any of 4 directions. A rotation stop is included so the lock can only turn 1/4 turn. The 1/4 turn aligns with the holes that let you take the key out.

These 1 1/8” locks fit perfectly in the cargo doors and the 7/8” lock fit the outside shower door, you may have to shape the lock tab for a tight fit, of my Forrest River travel trailer. I chose to replace the locks because my trailer was keyed with the 751 locks that they place on most R.V.s. Not very secure and with these barrel locks it not likely that someone will be able to pick them.

Was anticipating a very good result adding these new locks to secure the two LP & battery compartment doors on our camper. Unfortunately it didn't turn out all that well... The first obstacle I encountered was with the latching lever. It was supplied only with a flat lever, not an assortment. I realized this before I ordered it but presumed I'd be able to switch the flat one with the offset lever from my current latch, as I've done with other locks in the past. I knew I was in trouble as soon as I took the new lever off and saw that it had a non-standard mounting hole which was much smaller and not square like almost all other locks of this type. I got around this on the first lock, at least for the time-being, by sandwiching the old latch between the lock body and the new flat latch and then tightening the retaining nut enough to cause friction to hold it in place. Don't know how long it will be before it starts slipping, but I'm pretty sure it will sooner or later... .The second lock obviously had the same problem, but two others as well, one of which prevented me from using the lock at all. The first was that the lock body retaining nut on the new lock is substantially thinner than the old one. The body of the lock has flats on each side, like all camlocks, so that it will fit into not the mounting hole and not rotate. Well, with these flats, combined with a thin mounting nut and very fine threads , I found it very easy to inadvertently cross-thread the nut. Well, that's what I did and got it jammed a few threads in. I finally got the nut off and was able to get the thicker nut from my old lock started on the threads and tightened down, and so I thought I was home free. Not so though. I next installed the sandwiched lever arrangement like I had on the first lock, tightened the lever retaining nut and attempted to test its operation. Strangely, the key wouldn't go in. I thought that perhaps they had sent me locks with unmatched keys and that I'd switched them with the keys from the other lock, so I found the other set of keys in my pocket and tried them, but with the same result. The strange thing is though that I had cycled the lock before installing the levers and the key went in and operated smoothly. So I removed the nut and levers and tried the key again. It worked fine. Put them back on with luge nut only finger tight. I felt some resistance to the key turning, but at least it went in and pworked. Then ightened the nut to a reasonable tightness for that small size nut and again, the key would not go in. Disassembled once more and looked to see what might be binding and could find nothing. Their were no rotating parts in contact with the lock body externally. Something internally had to be defective. Reassembled it and tried one more time just to be certain but to no avail. Gave up and put the old latch back on having invested about an hour's time. I may try a higher quality lock that's provided with the correctly offset lever sometime, but for now I feel like I've spent enough time on what should have been a 10 minute job!

I bought these to replace 14 locks on my new RV. I measured the existing locks and ordered these. They were a perfect fit. They were easy to install; the hardest part was installing the loose "stop washer" that prevents the lock from rotating 360 degrees. After installing the first one, it was easy to make sure they went on right. One tip - put a plastic container with a small towel on the bottom under the door you are removing and installing the locks. It will catch anything you drop and the towel keeps everything from bouncing out. I was doing all the installs in a gravel parking lot and didn't want to lose anything. I really appreciate that all my new locks use the same key, and they seem to be a unique key.

This lock can be picked in a couple minutes with a tool that is available on Amazon. No skill is required. The lock pushes the picking tines out until the shear point is reached and then stops. I was able to pick the lock in under 5 minutes, and this was only the third lock of this type I had ever picked.For those of you who remember the Trim Trio debacle, from the late 1960's through the early 1970s, I was able to pick this lock faster than I opened my first trim trio vending machine. With practice it would go faster.If you are worried about lock picking, anyone can buy something like the Locksmith Door Opener Lock Set 7.00MM 7.5MM 7.8MM and get into your vending machine in a minute or two, then lock it back up when they are through. These locks have a design defect that allows the lock's mechanism to communicate to the pick - the pick will detect when the shear point is reached and will essentially become a key.These tools make the picking of tubular locks so quick and simple that they are less secure than simple pin tumbler locks. Check youtube. There are some good cylinder locks. This is not one - it does not have any security pins, nor does it have any means of defeating these picks.This item gets one star from me because the claim that the lock is high security is simply false. Don't get me wrong, it is possible to defeat these picking tools, Special tumblers will stop the lock from "telling" the tool where the shear points are. Those locks can still be picked, but they require a bit of skill, as opposed to simply owning the tool.
