Can the Replacement Cam Cylinder Lock and Global Link Baggage Door Slam Latch Be Keyed Alike

Question:

We have a 2015 Keystone Montana High Country 343RL and are thinking to replace our baggage door locks on each side 4 locks and also the cam lock cylinder on the 2 front compartment doors. I know your Replacement Cam Lock Cylinder for RVs - Keyed Alike Option - Stainless Steel - 1-3/8inch Long Item # 295-000005 will fit on the front doors. My first question is that Im not sure if your part # 295-000078 will fit on our baggage doors. The opening measurements are 3 3/8inch x 3 7/8inch and the doors are 3/4inch thick. My second question is that I wonder if we have a keyed alike option for both Item # 295-000005 and item # 295-000078 because I did not see a keyed alike option for item # 295-000078.

I have a solution for you, but the Replacement Cam Lock Cylinder for RVs - Keyed Alike Option - Stainless Steel - 1-3/8" Long # 295-000005 can only be keyed alike for that model lock and other Global Link Cam Locks. You can still use the Global Link RV Baggage Door Slam Latch # 295-000078, but there is not a keyed alike option available.

When it comes to the fitment of the Baggage Door Slam Latch # 295-000078, you may need to slightly enlarge the opening since it's designed to fit in a slightly different shaped 3-1/2" x 3-3/4", but it will still work. You can use the Global Link Mounting Plate for Baggage Door Slam Latch - Steel - Standard # 295-000016 for mounting and the latch does not come with keys so you'll need to purchase those with part # 295-000079.
