Why I Chose the "Unpopular" RV Keyless Entry Lock & Whats Happening 1.5 Years Later Want the truth about budget-friendly, lesser known RV products? Sometimes the most popular RV product everyone is talking about on Facebook is popular for good reason, but sometimes its not always the best value. 18 months ago I took a shot on an RV keyless entry door lock system that most RV'ers never heard of because quite honestly, it had more features, better reviews, & cost a little less. Ill show you what it looks like a year and a half later & give you my honest feedback if I regret my decision.

Great follow up review. Your video production quality is top notch and improves with each season. Thank you for being a definitive authority on all things DIY RV. We did go with the RVLock based on the diversity of products offered. The keyless baggage latches, Bluetooth module, and the matched rv key latch filled all the demands of what I was trying to achieve with an upgraded locking system.

Great review. I wish I had seen this before I purchased my rv lock over 2 years ago. The one suggestion I have for all inside door handles is to make the handle a different color than black. Many guests have been unable to find the handle to open the door when inside the rv. I put some white tape on the handle to resolve this issue.

Thanks for the update. We had a different brand keyless lock which ended up failing rather quickly. After watching your original video I replaced it with the Carmtek a year ago. Like you, we've been very happy with it. The ONLY PROBLEM we've had is our dogs sometimes paw at the door when they want to go out and have switched off the FOB (or muted the button beep). That forces us to be sure we remember our door code in case our FOB doesn't work.

I've never heard of Carmtek lock until seeing this video, nor did I know any company makes keyless locks for compartment doors. I went with a keyless lock from Global Link back in 2020. They are the primary entry door lock supplier for most RV manufacturers. The nice thing about their locks is you can get compartment door locks that are keyed to match the entry doors. My keyless entry door lock has been flawless for the 4 years I've had it.

we just bought an RV from a private party, they have two of these locks installed... i could not find a key to replace the key.. the previous owners gave me one key... and 2 fobs... i contacted carmtek to give me an idea where to get another key..and they said probably just a locksmith. ..so they DID agree to send us two new cylinders if we didn't want to try to get a locksmith to remake our keys. Which is great. .and they didn't charge shipping. I appreciate that, but I do wish we could have an easier way to get more keys!

i can understand that companies who mass produce these products dont always have a solution for things like what youre requesting. most of the time they are not made on site, or subcontracted, so individual parts may be difficult for them to manage while keeping the bills paid. However, I think its awesome that they are working with you and willing to send you parts at no cost. Nobody does that! I work personally with the owner of Carmtek and he's a great guy. you can probably take the key to a locksmith or a hardware store and have it duplicated for less than $5.

For my Grand Design, I bought the Lippert keyless lock because it ties in to the GD Connect app and I can see the lock status and lock/unlock it from my cell phone app. It's metal with backlit buttons and I was able to program my own code. There are several good locks on the market now, but integrating with the Connect app was important to me.

I have this lock. Love everything about it except the install. That flat wire loom, is stiff and hard to manipulate all while lining up both locks and making sure the wires don’t get pinched. Super difficult to do by myself. Then you get it all together only to discover the deadbolt hits and it has to come out, adjustments made, etc etc etc. They really need to change the install process. Also the strike plate that comes with it is basically a piece of soda can. It’s so lightweight. Overall great item. 2 fobs and 4 keys plus additional keypad and lifetime warranty was a shock to me.
@RVTIPSANDTRAVELS
@RVTIPSANDTRAVELS 3 місяці тому
Unfortunately the install can be a little cumbersome. I won’t disagree, but they all assemble that way. Until they design a male and female plug system that locks together when screwing the pieces together we might be stuck with the current set up for a while.

@@RVTIPSANDTRAVELS since I was working alone the fix I came up with was I used a short board wrapped in a towel, then used two quick clamps with rubber jaws to clamp the exterior portion tight to the door so I could manipulate the inside half. Also to remedy the cheap strike plate I was able to get a very long brass strike plate at the hardware store that is 9” long, it was predrilled for 6 recessed/flush screws. Took a bit of measuring but that door/lock is rock solid now. Great content. Keep it up.

I have a guy printing these for me now, after he prints, ships to me, then i ship to you, it will be about $20 to cover all his shipping and printing costs... im not making anything on it, just want to cover about $7 it will cost me to ship it. If you are interested, you can just make a $20 donation here and make sure you send me your address (assuming you are in USA) www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=J2KKM9NR3BJJA

I went to buy one - but the model requires the lock to be on the left side of the door (as you approach from the outside) Wheres the one for the right side? What a bummer!!!

The phone number is from a song. Its not a real phone number. There's no area code for a reason.

Aww bummer, I just noticed this company is embossing their website on the lock like the other. That is so stupid and tacky. As if anybody wouldn’t just google the brand and find it without this. Stuff like that looks aftermarket and I hate things that look aftermarket. It’s not a dealbreaker, but it doesn’t look clean and should be eliminated. I still also want to see a keyless option, touch the door handle and it unlocks when a fob is detected nearby, just like a car. Of course my other gripe is, why should we have to retrofit all of this? RV manufacturers should just include it.

i personally like the "clean" look too, but nothing we can do. In fact, I like it so much I usually remove all the emblems from my vehicles.

David, they come with 2 so you can remove the old overlay and install the new one. If you can’t find the other one, email them, they’ll send you a new one for free. I talk about this in the video… LIFETIME WARRANTY! Why not take advantage of it?

Did you really complain about having to carry the remote? Nothing better then pulling up hit the remote grab all your bags and just open the door not fiddle around pushing numbers to unlock it.
@RVTIPSANDTRAVELS
@RVTIPSANDTRAVELS 3 місяці тому
Im not really ever approaching the door with my hands full so using the code is just as easy for me. I lose keys a lot too, so I don’t carry a remote because I’m sure I’ll lose that. I rarely use the remote because we hike and bike a lot, so bringing less is much easier for us. I’d also venture to guess that many folks are using the keypad a lot since so many overlays are cracking. I do appreciate your input and for watching our video.
