Keyless entry for 2021 GT 5 34H5

I have been looking at adding keyless entry to my coach. I am looking for suggestions on what make and model you have installed. Was it an easy install or did it require modifications? I知 wanting a simple and direct replacement. Thanks,

I have installed a keyless entry and helped a buddy of mine install the same lock from RV Lock. I have listed the site below. Been super happy with so far. Can use key, keypad and comes with a key fob. Fairly easy to install but does take some tweaking to install. I had file down (used a dremel tool) just a little of the bottom of the lock hole. Maybe a 1/16th of inch give or take little. Had also adjust the strike plate a little. So nothing major. Fore sure get the extra sticker that goes around the opening to cover up any missing paint. Was installed on 2021-22 GT7 36D7 and 36K7. Here a few pics of the install.

I also instaled RV Lock on my 2019 Mini Lite 2109S. Just make sure you get the all metal one as I had read of dissatisfaction with the standard ones which are plastic. Mine took all of 10 min to install with no modifications whatsoever. A neighor installed a lock from Latchit and is also happy with his.

I also installed RVLOCK on FR3 door. I also installed RVLOCK cabinet locks keyed alike. Now the same key that opens the door opens my 12 basement locks. I also got extra spare keys. I put a spare key on my car key ring.

To get a good discount JOIN RVLOCK VIP EMAIL LIST & Get exclusive access to deals at RVLock.

Memorial Day usually is 30% off.

P.S. Latchit does not have a Class A/C door lock.

Installed an RVLock on our 5er right after we got the camper. Fit with no mods at all and works great. We never use anything other than the keypad - haven't heard any "Where are the camper keys?!" in over two years now!

Anyone found a Keyless Lock for Vertical style door handle (2021 GT5 31L5)

Our 2021 Georgetown GT5 31L5 has a door handle that is about 7.5" high and 5.5" wide. I haven't been able to locate a Keyless entry lock for it (Nothing available from RVLock). Wondering if anyone else has been able to find one.

Can you determine who makes the door handle?
What is the distance between the inside edge of the door itself and the lefthand side of the door handle? It appears to be a significant distance compared to other door handles.

Follow up on vertical style door handle (2021 Georgetown GT5 31L5)

The door lock has Global Link's "G" logo on it, but I haven't been able to find anything like it on their web site. I took it apart to see if I there was a part number inside, but no luck. Just www.rvlocksandmore.com and their phone number. There is a 2 1/2" setback from the edge of the door to the edge of the handle. Searching the web the only thing that seems similar is the TriMark 030-0900. Their outside handle is different, but the lock internals and the inside handle look similar, and it seems to have a similar size cutout. Looks like I've got an odd-ball lock unfortunately, although it works fine. If anyone has any ideas on how to fit a keyless entry I'd appreciate it!

Thanks. That's a lot different than the Bauer paddle lock on our 2020 GT5.

Does the key have any kind of logo on it? That's how we figured out ours was a Bauer.

Finally installed the RVLock on our 34H5

Waited and got the Memorial Day pricing (30% off). Liked other痴 experiences, I had to slightly enlarge the hole. Very easy to do with drill and small grinding wheel. Handle installed very easily, but I had to adjust strike plate very slightly to get deadbolt to operate smoothly. Had no problems programming door and remote. Thanks for the recommendation to use RVLock.

My locks installed with no modification. Took me approx 30 mins for all of them. They are so much smoother than the chap 751's. This is a highly recommended mod IMO.

Did you ever find a lock that would work for your door?


Will this one fit?
