Belinda_B Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Hi all, I need to replace the lock on our 2008 Hymer T class storage locker and have managed to get hold of one but just wondered if there were any tips or pitfalls to look out for when trying to fit it. I haven't removed the dodgy one yet but I'm hoping to have a go this weekend. I didn't want to start dismantling the old one and then get stuck halfway through!

StuartO Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 I doubt if there is any magic about this task but if yu are uncertain and fear damaging something, why not use a local caravan or MH dealer's workshop to get the job done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lennyhb Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 My last van was a T654SL, had the rear lock apart to modify it as the latch kept sticking. From what I remember it is very straight forward just remove the 2 screws on the rear, take the rear cover off (includes mechanism) and I think the front just comes out, it's clamped through the bodywork with the screws. It really is a 10 minute job and that's if you are a slow worker. (lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belinda_B Posted July 4, 2014 Author Share Posted July 4, 2014 Thanks Lenny, it is the very same! We are off away for the weekend and I shall see if it all goes smoothly then and see if I'm a slow worker!! Belinda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lennyhb Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Hi Belinda, Is it the same Belinda brought my lovely T654 SL Gold? There may be nothing wrong with the lock, once opened you you have to push the little lever on the back of the lock down before they will re-latch, and if it is a case of not always unlocking (they all do that) that is the reason I did a little mod on it and a new lock probably won't cure it.

Belinda_B Posted July 5, 2014 Author Share Posted July 5, 2014 Yes it's me! It is unlocking that is an issue but we will persevere with it and see how it goes. I was just concerned that we may be away on holiday somewhere and not be able to get into the locker, although there is always access from under the bed if we get stuck!
