1983 Lazy Daze
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.

Hi Bounty. I have the barrel keys also. If just three, your best bet would be to replace the locks.   Tubular Cam Lock | Tubular Cam Locks | Barrel Cam Lock
     Usually you can gain access from the insides of the compartments enough to unscrew the rotating cam part. 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. Larry W. did on the front of his. RonB.

To simplify the use of your LD's storage compartments, once the old locks are open, replace them with all new round locks, that use the same key.
A good place to order round or barrel locks is CH751.com. They sell custom locks for any size door and have a measuring chart so you get exactly what you need.  I installed a full set of them several years ago and have been happy with the results.
