1983 Lazy Daze September 24, 2019, 10:40:18 pm I lost my barrel keys. Don't remember if it was one or more for the three compartments. My Lazy Daze has been sitting for a year. The local RV shops and locksmiths can't help. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement key(s)? I have photos of the three keyhole compartments.

I've heard that there is a lock pick tool available for about $20 on the internet. 3Pcs Tubular Lock Pick Tool Lock Pick Set Locksmith Tool Equipment US | eBay If you 'pick' them you would still need keys, but wouldn't damage the compartment doors. Otherwise you can just rotate the locks outside to open them, and then repair the damaged 'rounded out' holes. A backing plate should be installed anyway for better security. I did behind my locks.
