PRODUCT DETAILS
Overview & Availability
The locker door lock (OEM part number 0701648) is an official Dethleffs accessory, designed to secure storage/garage door compartments on motorhomes. It's sold by reputable dealers such as Cara Motorhomes.
🔧 Build & Fit
Quality: Being OEM, it matches the original swivelling "garage door spring lock" design that integrates seamlessly into Dethleffs locker doors.
Materials: Robust metal barrel and mechanism built into a spring-actuated housing—designed for outdoor durability and secure storage access.
Finish: Offered in standard white or aluminium trim to match existing door styles.
⚙️ Functionality
Spring Mechanism: The lock uses a spring-loaded latch that automatically engages upon closing—ensuring storage doors stay firmly shut while driving.
Lock Barrel: Accepts standard Dethleffs keys (or equivalent CH751 system), meaning one key often works across all lockers.
Security Concerns: Note that many RV compartment locks use universal keys and are vulnerable to basic picking tools or even master keys wielded by unscrupulous individuals. Consider upgrading to anti-pick barrels if contents are high-value.
✅ Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| OEM-designed for seamless fit | Barrel/key not always included |
| Robust spring latch mechanism | Frequently keyed alike – pickable |
| Tough and weather-resistant | Higher cost than generic fixes |
🔧 Usage & Security Tips
Installation: A direct swap into your locker door’s existing cut-out—no cutting or drilling required.
Key Management: Ensure barrel keys are included; otherwise, you'll need to source CH751-compatible replacements or have your dealer re-key.
Security Upgrade: Replace the barrel with anti-pick variants or use a padlock hasp for sensitive storage.
Added Protection: Consider anti-theft measures such as deadbolts or supplemental latch systems, especially when storing valuable items.
🎯 Summary
The Dethleffs Locker Door Lock is a genuine, OEM solution offering secure, weather-resistant operation and a perfect fit. While ideal for general storage needs, it might lack anti-theft robustness due to shared key profiles. If securing valuable gear, pairing it with stronger barrels or supplemental locks is advised.
