Scott,
If you search on "keyed alike" or "storage compartment keys" you should be able to find a great thread started by Jim about swapping these out. I have an inverter etc... in my front compartment as well. I have rekeyed every lock on the trailer to be the same one. On my front compartment I actually removed the two thumb turns on the outside and replaced them with keyed locks and moved one of the thumb screws to the middle. I felt like all it would take is to undo one of the thumbscrews and you could get a screwdriver in there and pry the door open with only a center lock in the door.

Not wanting to hijack the thread, but it just occurred to me that after 50+ yrs of RV-ing, I have never had anyone pick a lock or break a door/window to get in my RV. Yet I have had 2 trucks and 3 sedans broken into by having the lock picked or windows broken. Maybe I should change the locks on my vehicles to the standard CH751 locks !! Sorry - The thought just came to me.

So, I've bought a camper shell locking bar and twist lock handle. I'm going to install next week. I'll let you know if it works.

You obviously didn’t read the fine print, in order to use the reset hole on these combination locks you have to first input the correct combination, only then can you reset it and change the combination.
I installed a set of these several months ago and posted a review on this forum.
They’re easy to turn and read and use.

Will today I installed an additional lock on my front compartment. I know this little mod isn't going to keep out someone who really wants in there, but it made me feel a bit better. The only other thing is I now have to use 2 keys to get into that compartment. But the new lock is a Bauer brand do maybe I can have it re-keyed to match. This is a camper shell lock with locking bars. I bought the 72"set of bars and a lock handle that doesn't protrude as much as the regular T handles you see on most camper shells. My opening was 60"so after figuring that the throw off the lock bars was 3/4", I cut the bars down to 61.5"at max extension. I drilled the handle mounting holes, put in the handle, then attached the bars and drilled holes for the sliding bar guides. I used Stainless steel machine screws to mount. Once done I tried the lock and found that I needed to stand off the bar guides by 3/16" in order for the bars to get behind the door frame. So those came off, some washers went on, and everything was reattached and viola, it works.
I'm happy with the modification, it was less than$30.00, and it gives me a bit of price of mind that my$1000's of dollars of inverter, batteries, and solar charge controller will be a tad safer.

If yours is too difficult to get into most times the thieves will move on to one that is easier.
