baggage door locks
Yahoo Message Number: 102712
Hi Group; A few days ago baggage door locks was an issue.  Most felt that changing the locks was a waste of time as the baggage doors can be pried open with a screwdriver.  However, using a screwdriver or other tool could bring attention as compared to someone using a key like in a storage lot.
I have several cylinder locks from a previous motorhome and would like to use them.  I tried attaching one several months ago but was unable to remove the lock on my 07 RK.  Has anyone made this change with a more recent LD vintage?  The present lock would not move at all even after removing the lock washer on the inside of the door.  I did not want to try to force the lock out with a hammer...Any suggestions?  I do not have the LD with me now so cannot take a look but I seem to recall that the lock was painted the same green color as the door.  Perhaps the paint is holding the lock in a stiff position.  Banging the lock  out may remove some of the paint too and make an ugly mess...
Any suggestions?

Thanks, Mike
