Ignition lock.

I managed to lose my keys last night.

I have got the camper home but now have to replace the locks, any tips?

First tip (when you have fitted your new locks) is always get a spare set of keys cut ASAP and keep them separate from your main ones...the only key I cannot get a blank for is the Water tank filler cap.
Second tip is to take second set away with you on trips etc and hide them externally (extremely well!and heavily disguised!) or give them to your wife/partner!
You really didn't want to hear the b...... g obvious... so sorry to hear of your demise and good luck

To replace the old ignition barrel you have to drill a hole and insert a prod to release the old one. I found the diagram of where to drill on Search, probably under Ignition barrel or summat. Have done it in the past.

get a complete one key set from a breaker and swap the lot,
I have a set minus one front door lock here, could retumble one of yours to match, for rhd van that is.
give me a call afternoons if interested thanks

Thanks all.

The keys turned up at work so one new ignition barrel later all sorted.

I will be getting the spares cut mind

We always keep a key on a lanyard and when away keep it around one of our necks. Saves carrying a big bunch of keys around too.
