RV10 Cabin Door Locks
Guys,
To put the extra keyed lock in the Pilot's door, remove the
upholstery from the inside of the door exposing the lock assembly.
Drill a #40 bit pilot hole through the door 1 3/8" forward of the end of
the lower geared bar of the door latch with the door latch closed ( gear
bar slid back). This should place the keyed lock barrel so that when
the bar on the keyed lock is turned it will line up with the geared
latch bar and prevent the geared bar from moving forward. The keyed
lock bar will have to be bent up (in an S-shape) about 3/16" to match
the end of the geared bar.
If things look good, cut a hole in the outside layer of Lexan the
size of the keyed lock barrel using a step drill. Put the lock in this
hole from time to time to make sure things clear and fit. Cut a slot
into the front of the door latch recess (like the sliding bar in the
back of the recess) so the key lock bar can turn into the recess and
touch the door latch gear bar. Bend the key lock bar so it matches the
gear bar. If it is a little short, you can weld a little on the end of
the key bar.
Enlarge the inner panel hole so the key lock's barrel nut and star
washer can be threaded on. Make sure the key lock bar engages the
latch's gear bar. Again, bend or lengthen if necessary.
Make a piece of .032" aluminum about 1 =BD" square so it covers the
inside Lexan hole but doesn't impede the latch assembly. Drill a #6
screw sized hole in the center of the .032" aluminum plate. This hole
will let you put the #6 screw into the end of the lock to hold the key
lock bar in place and support the lock in the door.
Make sure everything aligns properly and works smoothly. Then
drill 3/32" holes in the corners of the aluminum plate and inner layer
of Lexan. Countersink the aluminum holes. Put (3) #6 spacer washers
under the aluminum plate and over the end of the lock above the lock
bar. Rivet the aluminum plate in place. Done.

RV10 Cabin Door Locks
Guys,
To make a locking slide block for the right hand door, rivet (3)
pieces of .063" aluminum =BD" wide and 1 =BD" long with one piece of
.032" aluminum =BD" wide and 2 =BD" long so that the .032" aluminum
layer projects 1" longer than the .063" pieces. ( Three .063" aluminum
layers and one .032" layer should be the thickness of the inside of the
door handle) Countersink the rivets on each side so the laminated
layers are smooth.
File the width of the laminated pieces down so it slides inside the
door handle but leave it big enough on the protruding end that sticks
out of the handle so the laminated aluminum bar will not slide
completely into the handle. You should have a rectangular bar that
slides into the handle with a larger crosspiece on one end (a T-shape).
The .032" layer projects farther into the handle to make your slide
mechanism. You can shorten the sliding bar, trim the T-part down, etc.
to make it look neat and just long enough to slide over the push pin on
the latch.
Drill a # 30 hole in the center line of the handle about 1/8"
beyond the inner tip of the rectangular part of the bar through just the
inside thickness of the handle (not all the way through the handle).
Match this hole with a hole in the protruding .032" projection in the
handle with the bar slid into the handle over the push button. Then
pull the bar back in the handle to allow the latch release pin to be
pushed in and drill another hole in the .032" layer. This gives you a
maximum and minimum reference of travel of the sliding bar. Slot the
.032" layer between the two holes.
Put a pop rivet through the handle, through the slot on the sliding
bar and a #4 washer on the back side. Pull the pop rivet up to hold the
slide but NOT TOO TIGHT so the bar won't slide. Cut the mandrel of the
rivet off and push the head back through.

Another way to make a lock for the right side door is to drill a 1/16" vertical
hole through the push tab of the door handle. Buy a 1/16" stainless steel hairpin
clip at HD; insert it through the hole. Done.

I never found a lock that I really liked so I just take my door handles off
and put them in the baggage area.
If they want in that bad they are going to break something anyways.

I do the same thing Geoff mentioned. I did this in Mexico and Bahamas.
Takes just as long to take them off as a lock would take.

Great idea, I just might use this or the wedge idea for the right door and remove
the outside handle on the left. Thanks for all of the creative ideas on this
thread.
