3-Step Installation & Fitment Guide
Our locks are engineered for a straightforward, drop-in installation. Follow this simple 3-step guide to confirm compatibility and see how easy the process is.
Step 1: Confirm Your Cutout Size
he vast majority of our locks are designed to fit the industry-standard. Use a tape measure to check your existing opening. If it matches these dimensions, our lock will be a direct fit.
Step 2: Measure Your Door Thickness
Our locks are compatible with a standard door thickness. Simply measure the edge of your door to ensure it falls within this range. This guarantees the interior and exterior handles will fit together perfectly.
Step 3: The 10-Minute Installation Process
1. Remove the old lock: Unscrew the handful of screws holding your existing lock in place.
2. Install the new lock: Slide the new Rvlock into the opening and secure it with the provided screws.
3. Power up (for keyless models): Insert the batteries, and your new lock is ready to program and use.

How Handle Locks Compare to Other RV Lock Types
Technical Comparison
(Handle vs. Other Lock Types)
RV paddle locks are one of several lock types used in RVs, trailers, and utility vehicles. Choosing between paddle locks, cam locks, compression latches, and handle locks depends on the application, cutout design, and security requirements. Below is a side-by-side comparison for quick evaluation.
| Lock Type | Typical Use Case | Strengths | Limitations |
|---|---|---|---|
| Paddle Lock | RV entry doors, storage compartments, toolboxes | Flush fit design, easy operation, durable, weather-resistant | Slightly larger cutout required compared to cam locks |
| Cam Lock | Cabinets, mailboxes, light-duty panels | Compact size, low cost, easy to install | Limited strength, not ideal for high-security areas |
| Compression Latch | Utility panels, electrical/gas compartments | Tight sealing, vibration resistance, weatherproof | Higher cost, specific installation requirements |
| Handle Lock | RV baggage doors, larger hatches | Easy grip, convenient for frequent access | Bulkier design, may not fit flush applications |
| Hitch Lock | Trailers, towing security | Strong anti-theft protection for trailers | Dedicated use only, not suitable for doors or compartments |
