This lock set works like new but only time will tell if it doesn't eventually have dead bolt problems like the original and other aftermarket brands I read reviews about. When installing, care must be given to not over-tighten the four mounting screws. They are not shouldered screws like the original lock had so it is easy to damage the soft door material. (The shoulder screws in the original lock allowed them to be tightened without excessively bringing the two sides of the lock together to the point where they started damaging the soft core material of the door.) Reviews stated that two different keys were needed for the dead bolt and the lock itself. I was pleased to see that the four keys that came with my lock all worked both locks, making it easier for me to use.
Installation was easy. I don't think the replacement screws that sandwich the inner and outer plate are as strong as the originals. They feel lighter. Really the strength of the lock is how hardened the screws are. You can have a $1000 lock and 2 cent aluminum screws holding it together, which means you can order it apart in seconds. Not sure with this one compared to original that broke. Even before install, the mechanism is quite stiff. It works, but not without effort. Not sure if this will get easier over time or just bad engineering. Other than those 2 concerns, it's working as expected. Not to much to get excited about a $25 lock.
I bought this RV door latch after breaking the Key off in the original one due to the lock being stiff from the cold. The new one installed easily and worked way smoother than the original ever did. I couldn't be happier.
The product is heavy duty and sturdy. Great quality. It appears the one I got was damaged in shipping, and the customer service made getting a replacement easy. Definitely recommend buying this one.
Ours just quit working. The key would not go all the way into the lock. We had to climb in one of the storage compartment to take the old lock out.
I found this one on Amazon, ordered it, it arrived earlier than expected.
Perfect fit! All is well again. They included 4 keys!

Although this product did not come with installation instructions, it was very easy to take the old lock out and put the new lock in. It is made of heavy metal and I hope to use it for a long time. I also like the fact that it came with one extra key for each lock mechanism.
Great option for replacing our door-lock on our camper. the lock was a little stiff at first, but has loosed up as we have been using it. Was a great way to get 4 keys to the same lock as most of the dealer options only came with 2! I would not hesitate to buy these again if the need ever arises.
Perfect fit. Easy install. Does the job.
Seems heavier than original. Has a solid feel.
Both locks keyed the same, 4 keys.

Update June '19. Use the locks every day. No negatives.
Squirt w/WD40 now n then, good to go. I am happy with this purchase.
Works better then the original, and comes with more keys then the original. Easily installed, even in the cold winter
Locking mechanism fit with no issues.
Screws for the side of the door smaller silver piece are too short and won’t fit. Old ones were a larger diameter, so can’t reuse them.
