    Installed RV lock now door won’t open all the way

    Just installed the rv lock but now the handle hits the side of trailer before it hits the magnetic hold. Anyone have this problem? What’s the fix? Maybe a thicker magnet?

    Yes - same exact problem. I saw where Down Sizing Makes Sense 3D printed some spacers to fit behind a magnet. Waiting to get the print file from them.

    I did find on the Facebook group where someone just took the magnet off and space it out with washers. So I’ll be trying that

    I did not have this problem on my '20 2500rl. It latches to the magnet just fine with rvlock installed

    Replace the strike plate with a magnet like your cargo doors have. Amazon sells them.

    Same problem. It will attach to the magnet but the handle is hitting the RV and the door is a little “bent”. I was hoping RV lock was aware and selling a thicker magnet but they don’t

    I guess I’ll try some stainless washers...
