Hatch Locks

I recently purchased a rockwood 2109s and it came with the key only hatch locks. It is nice being able to lock the hatches, but an absolute PITA to always have to have the key handy to open them. With this setup, the latch is either closed and locked, or unlocked and open. With my last camper, you could keep it unlocked and still secure the latch by hand to keep the hatch closed. Or you could lock it, and it would no longer operate by hand. Hopefully this makes sense.

I have looked around an not been able to find these for sale aftermarket. Everything seems to either be the style I have, or just hand operation and no key lock. Has anyone had luck finding these? Also, any idea as to the diameter of the lock? I'm a little distance from my camper and won't be able to measure until after the long weekend.

Any better link than that? You might as well have just put Google

Maybe something like this:

I'm not sure how you would get them all keyed alike though.

Thanks pappcam, that's exactly what I'm looking for. Just need to figure out how to get them keyed now. Any idea what diameter I would need or what is standard for a camper latch?

Call them, tell them what you want and they will ship immediately. Got 2 keyed alike with the barrel keys that can be removed when the lock in in the unlocked position. Good people to deal with.
