Camping World sells a kit to replace the original 751 locks. They are the ACE style locks. 4 locks and two keys. They are the security type round keys you see on coke machines or alarm systems. My hope is that given a choice the thief would move on and find an easier score. If he can't use a common 751 key and he is determined he is going to make a bunch of racket breaking in with a screw driver. Our first line of defence is Maddy, our Schnauzer, and noise activated security system! What if we're gone? Again, our hope is they will move on to easier pickens! JMHO

John -
They broke into ours (probably with a screwdriver) and about 8 other units. The units were less than 100 yards from where people were camping. If they want in, they'll get in. These were 15 year olds.

Ron,
Sorry to hear about your misfortune. It sounds like they might have caught them since you know they were 15 year olds. I guess all we can do is our best. Audible alarms are cheap compared to the contents we carry. Looks like that might be the next step.
Best Regards,
John & Roxanne Shepphird

Butch, if your purpose is to reduce the potential for someone to unlock your compartment doors with their 751 key, then a different style lock serves that purpose.

If your intent is to stop, or make very difficult, intrusion into those lockers, then I'd rethink whether your approach is worth the cost. I can pop any of those doors open with a screw driver in about three seconds flat. I once had to do just that on our 2003 Montana (long story). You'd need some solution much better than just replacing the lock.
