RV Lock vs Lippert Entry Lock?

[reubenray]

I want to change out entry door lock. I found a RVLock model which has two fobs. Lippert has a bluetooth lock with fobs that will fit also. They are just about the same price.

Which one works best?

I have always bought the RVLock and have had good luck, every so often RVLock have sales going on and I'm sure all in all, at the end of the day both are good, they do the same thing lock your door, I have to look at the one from Lippert and see.

My concern with the Lippert bluetooth model is will it have issues similar to the Lippert TireLinc losing signals? RVLock also has a bluetooth setup.

Not a big fan of lippert anything. I have had Rvlock on an number of rvs with zero issues

I agree with non Lippert if another choice is available. For my choice.
A remote and key/keyless lock came on my new to me 5ver, im not sure what brand, but i can check in a few week. So far, only 10 door opens and closed, works fine.
I had problems with a 2016 forest river TT. With no help from forest river or Lippert.
I am sure there are plenty of people that have and will never have a problem with a Lippert product, so i am just adding my experience.

Tried two RV locks. First one arrived with literally no key locks. Returned. Second one was showing rust in two weeks. Returned. Went with this Carmteck. Works great and has some advantages over the RV Lock. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09KYFQW1J/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Decent review of one in a Grand Design for a year or so:

RV Lock on ours. 2-years now and not a single issue. Form, fit and function as advertised.

What most people don't know is that many of these locks have a key that can be used in other locks. I called RV Lock and they confirmed what I thought.

Unsure of your exact meaning. Are you saying the key is not unique to that lockset? That a person with a different lockset, but the same brand could conceivably unlock your lock?

That is correct. I contacted them when I first got my set and they are all keyed the same.

that is why one of the first things you should do when you buy a rv is change the all the exterior locks. I believe most of the non occupied compartments in an rv takes a 751 key.

Never have done that, and never have seen the need.

Humm - When you say "set" I am assuming the main door (s) and storage compartment locks. When I talked to them a few minutes ago they confirmed when requested they will key a "set" the same per a customer's request. If you are simply ordering a single door lock as their V4 model that we have there are >1,000 key combinations.

Carmtek 10 digit door lock.
Works great.

I just installed the RVLock v4 today on our 22 Reflection 337RLS. It works great, install time was less than 20 minutes, it would've been quicker but I ran into programming glitches. Had I "actually" followed the programming instructions, they would not have been glitches!
The fobs work great, the face plate door code entry works great. The actual latch works better than the factory one, it is almost a silent click to close it, no hard slam required.
Of course, I got it "on sale" for $199 only to have them further reduce the price to $179 a month after I purchased. Oh well!

Well, the set I ordered was for front and back door. The guy on the phone said when they are in production the sets they make have the same keys for all of them. Next group it may be a different key depending on how many they have. Not saying things haven't changed since I bought them but I was able to unlock my neighbor's RV with my key (with his permission of course). Luck of the draw I guess.

Glad you have never had an issue. I am a firm believer in "Luck Favors The Prepared". Plus for the $30 bucks it cost to change all my baggage door locks it is pretty cheap insurance, plus it matches my entry door key. Cheap piece of mind

I am not worried about my compartment being the expensive stuff is out anyway. But I do want to change out my entry door lock. Right now it will most likely be a RVLock V4. I will order it where it will be at my home shortly after I get home where I can change it out.

I ordered the RVLock V4 this morning and I got a free Anker flagpole mount.
