Can the Lock Cylinders On the Global Link Locking Baggage Locks Be Changed

Question:

I have the GL34FR door locks on my RV. These were original new when I bought the RV. The key wouldnt really open the lock well never worked right. I wound up breaking the key trying to get it open. Is there a way part that I can just reinstall the lock cylinder on this latch. The rest of the latch works fine and is installed correctly. I just need to replace the lock cylinder on two of them and get two new keys matching. Id rather do this if it is cheaper than replacing the entire mechanism. Thanks,

I am not aware of any way to change out the lock cylinders on the Global Link Locking Baggage Locks like part # GL34FR. That said, you can obtain just the latch portion without all the extra backing plates, the Global Link RV Baggage Door Slam Latch part # 295-000078 which can be keyed alike.
