RVLOCK installed on 2017 21' Escape

[Red Dog]

Yesterday, I successfully installed the RVLOCK V4.0 - W/ INTEGRATED KEYPAD On our 2017 21' Escape.





I did, however, struggle to get the outside half to go in without having to drill out two small notches. They are completely covered up though.



I also had to cut a small notch on the inside of the door so that the outside half would go in properly.



Here is the finished results. The most important thing...Dora is happy!

That's cool, Fred. Can't wait to see that at Q as well.

Great job Fred.
(and done for a very important reason!)

Would this work on the old style 21'?

Fred, Seems simple. What did you use to do the notching? I bought one in December but won't have the trailer until the rally and would like to know if I need more then the screwdriver that the instructions say I need. Thanks for posting.

Nice to see the amount of insulation in the new style doors, my 2012 Escape had none.

Wow! Super nice job! Hoping to install mine next week assuming I get to pick it up on Monday.

Short answer, no. The lock requires a flat surface. The classic door isn't flat. Pretty close, but there's a raised section immediately to the right of the cutout. That interferes.

Nice job Fred.

Fred, looks nice and appears to work nicely. What type of batteries does it used? Does it need to be disassembled to change them?
