RVdaytrader Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Has anyone replaced their L-300 with another make??...These 2 look promising, just wondering if anyone has used either one and if the original striker plate could be used with either one. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DYVC60E?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_act_title_2&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BIB04XI?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_act_title_1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RVdaytrader Posted March 26, 2016 Author Share Posted March 26, 2016 UPDATE.....found the T505 on ebay for 35 bucks, so figured I would take a chance. Well the pins that engage the striker plate are a bit bigger diameter than the old lock. It comes with it own striker plate, but I could not remove the old striker plate without removing the door frame. So I enlarged the slots that the pins fit into on the old striker plate with a small grinder. I had to oblong the door edge screw holes and file spring latch opening a bit so I could raise the lock an extra 1/8 inch. So it was not an exact replacement, but now that its in, I like it a lot better than the original Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
