Replacement Latches for 2003 Featherlite 4H Trailer

Question

Question:

Good morning! I am in Canada and having a real hard time finding options for my problem. The girl we bought our trailer from lost all the keys for the trailer. I have looked at each assembly and each one the little silver circle where you stick the key all have a different number. So does that mean every lock has a different key? I will send photos of my lock assemblies that I need keys for. If I can’t get keys cut how easy it is to change the little silver thing so we can use the same key? Or what is the cost of replacing all the assemblies with comparable ones?

The best option I have for you would be to replace all the latches on the trailer or change out the lock cores. It looks like you have some of the common latches such as the Global Link Vise Lock part # 295-000024, the Global Link RV Baggage Door Slam Latch part # 295-000078, and the Global Link RV Entry Door Locking Latch Kit part # 295-000019. I have attached a full list below.

In order to change out just the lock cores, you'll need to remove and measure your existing lock cores and measure. The Replacement Cam Lock Cylinder for RVs part # 295-000003 for example is 7/8" long. I have again attached a full list of options below.

Please keep in mind, you may need to make some minor modifications in order to make the new latches fit.
