Again, i wouldn't care if the price was far less. In my opinion its not worth more than $50-60, and def not $200
    I would say as far as the pad's quality, it is not very good. It should not wear out that fast. But, I will say having all the RV locks on the same key is worth the price in that respect.

    Love mine so far. I know that there might be trouble with these in the future, but the ease of not needing a key is huge.

    I order two door locks and two slam latches from the refurbished option and they looked brand new and were all keyed alike even though they said the slam latches wouldn’t.

    Extra happy with these at that price, 2 hundy a piece would be a hard pill!

We ended up with only 2 keys instead of 4, plus the grand girls (age 10) can now get into the 5th wheel using the combination or the key fob.

    To me this is a very worthy investment.
    We also installed the RVLocks and are very happy with them. And like you, we were not able to get the RVLocks for the key latch doors. Still two keys is better than 4. Now the only question is where to store the door key in case the batteries fail. Their instructions even say to hide a key, but never inside the rv.

    I installed the RV lock last June and the keypad has completely crumbled and peeled off 3 of the numbers. It’s a cheap brittle plastic cover. Prior to cracking you could see the imprint on the digits being used. Horrible for security.

    What angers me was the cost for the poor quality. I bought a Schlage Encode keyless lock for our home for the same price, and the quality difference is astounding. I wish Schlage made and RV lock

    Bob, I wonder if a piece of ClearBra over the numbers would help with that issue. Getting ready to install ours soon and this thread made me do some thinking...🤔

    I'm not familiar with Clearbra. I will look it up though. Like someone else said, we are using the FOB more now as well. Although that thing eats batteries like there's no tomorrow

    Hmmm, ours doesn't eat batteries at all. I replace the AA batteries in the unit once a year and I haven't needed to change the FOB battery yet. I use Energizer Lithium batteries though. Are you using good batteries?

    I haven't opened my remote to check the battery size but I'm sure it's the same as yours. I've had this RV Lock a year now and it still has the original battery in the remote. I did put in fresh AA batteries (4) this spring in the unit on the door though. The batteries that were in it still worked but I wanted to be sure I had fresh batteries in it. Now I'm going to take the remote battery out and test it with a volt meter and buy a new one if the reading isn't real strong.
