Verhage" Subject: RV10-List: RV10 Cabin Door Locks.doc 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.

Verhage" Subject: RV10-List: RV10 Cabin Door Lock1.doc 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.

Buy a 1/16" stainless steel hairpin clip at HD; insert it through the hole. Done.

I did this in Mexico and Bahamas. Takes just as long to take them off as a lock would take.
