You are wonderful. best in RV Parts & Accessories

Would give a 5 star rating as I already have 4 of these locks but the last 2 they sent me were faulty. The locks seem to have changed in the last 6 months with a slightly different OS too. So not sure if they were sourced externally but quality control fell apart as two were faulty (didn't even work right away) and the third worked but had loose parts which I reattached. When you get one that works, they're amazing.

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Communication with seller

Installation was easy. The only problem was that I changed the default code.

I just installed it so 5 stars are not guaranteed. Installation was easy. The only mistake was that I changed the default code before installing. I couldn't get it to work. I used the default code and it worked fine. Apparently, if the power is completely removed, the code will reset to the default. I have not tested this by removing the batteries. If so, I would keep the source code somewhere in case it doesn't work after changing the battery.

Pros
  • Enjoyable
Cons
  • Upgradable

Damn upgrade

Bought for my 5th wheel last year, installed, programmed, loved it. The unit was very easy to install (I actually installed it while camping with minimal tools), easy to program and simpler to use. The quality is very good, the pad is easy to see (day or night) and the key lock is a nice touch. The device has been installed for some time and is still running on the original batteries. My wife and I take a break on our 5th bike once a month so the device is quite common. If you are looking to…

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • Working speed

Ideal for keyless entry.

These locks work as they should. Battery life is 6 months to a year and the code needs to be reset with new batteries. Resetting takes little time and simple instructions are on the battery cover. I suspect most people's performance issues are installation related. These locks are less forgiving of deadbolt and frame alignment than manual locks. A stronger motor/gearbox will not solve alignment problems. I've had this on both trailers and truck trailers and haven't had any issues with the…

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Hard to say

Used and defective, sold as new.

I bought this item new. Not only did it not come in the original packaging, but the original small blister that came with it was cracked and full of holes. The lock itself had at least one broken wire, an extended contact strip, dirt/fingerprints and many scratches on the inside of the paint. I will definitely be returning this item! I would give zero stars for a waste of time. Update 8/30/2018 Received my exchange and it came brand new in original packaging. Installation was a breeze and took…

Pros
  • High test results for hold and durability
Cons
  • Functionality

Mixed reviews for the best locks

The first one I got had a broken D-bar that connects to the inside handle that controls the deadbolt. The second was missing the screws and butt plate. Since I was ready to hit the road, I didn't want to risk a third order, so I reused my existing bolts and strike plates. Everything fits like clockwork and still works after the installation three weeks ago. Since installing it, I've noticed that one of the buttons isn't as sensitive as the others. I was a bit disappointed that the electronic…

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • weak
