Spare keys for a Roo?

[Camping-man]

The keys open the storage comparmets. I would like to order some extras just in case

[wlstroud]

The keycut looks like a sharper cut of the infamous CH751

Without a number or either the key or the lock, I don't see how you're going to get any extra keys.

I would suggest you order a new lock (see my Post #2). It will come with 2 keys. You can probably order extra keys at the same time if 2 aren't enough for you.

I ordered 5 locks for all my storage doors that match my main door. They each came with 2 keys. Now I can open everything with just one key and I've got about 10 extra keys!

If you're going to order new locks anyways, you can do like I did and replace them with these:



Manufacturer's site, but they're available all over the net:
Home | Combination Cam Lock | Cam Locks | Electronic locker locks | Cabinet Locks

Solves both the 'everyone has a CH751' issue and the 'I misplaced my keys' issue. As an added bonus, if we're heading to the pool or the beach or something where I don't want to bring my keys, but still lock up the trailer, I can lock the trailer keys in a storage compartment.

To the question at hand though:

Your picture looks an awful lot like my outside shower key. That key, though different, is similar enough to the CH751 that I can open the outside shower with a CH751 if needed. If you really want to confirm, the next time you're at either a campground or a dealer, see if somebody has a spare CH751 to lend you that you can try on your locks. If it opens your compartments, you'll know what the key number is. You'll also know then that there's a lot of other people out there with keys to your storage compartments.

I apologize for not reading every post above (on my way out of the house)... but can't you take your key somewhere and have it duplicated? Wouldn't a good RV parts store do it for you?

It is not a 751, which has a horizontal groove on both sides and a slight step at the back. Camp'man's pictured key will fit into a 751 but not turn.

Cutting off some of the plastic off MIGHT reveal a number or might not. Hardware stores used to have good selections of key blanks. Modern megastores unfortunately don't have as many. Nevertheless I'd check there and then with a locksmith. A number isn't completely necessary but would make this a whole lot easier.

I highly recommend this to everyone. One of the best mods I have done. One key to do everything (except when you forget to order the new lock for the outside shower, doh!) and I am just a little bit more secure than the dreaded CH751 key.

Yeah, I have to admit, I did that, too. But I never use it anyway, except when winterizing.

The Key you show is the same Key that was on our Rockwood ROO bed door Cam Locks! The Keys would Only fit the Bed Cam Locks,no storage doors that took the CH 751! Since you bought the unit Used maybe the PO or Dealer changed them? Youroo!!

We have this exact key and, just like Youroo's, it locks the bunk ends. The cutout shape is very similar to the CH751 storage key, but you can see the difference in the top photo.

Intersting. I just double checked my 2014, 21SS. That key does not turn my bunk locks. Every lock except the main door uses the 751.

Camping-Man,
Kencon makes the "ROTO-VISE" bed latch. Looking at their website [kencon.com] they now use a double edged key, but if you use their Contact Us form perhaps they can help.

[Dutchmen]

Contact Forest River parts dept. They were helpful replacing-when I lost all my Rv keys

Well after all was set and done the keys I need was a 751.

ch751 keys on e bay 4.49 and free shipping

[Camping-man]

I got two from a local rv place.

[rockfordroo]

I've got a bunch of 751's. I changed them out to a key that matches my doors. Fewer keys to deal with is a good thing.

When I purchased new locks all around to match the door, I got keys with each lock. Now I have a cup full of them at home. Plenty of spares! One key to fit them all is the way to go.

Yeah, I have that, too!

When all else fails and you need to get back in, just go as a neighbor camper that has a rig near the same class as yours. Chances are their key fits. The storage bins are almost all the same. Door keys use a few more different pinouts, but are common.
