The original locks on our 2010 have had it. This last trip, they were almost impossible to turn. We always locks ours while driving so they don't vibrate open and flap down the highway. btdt

Has anyone replaced them with something better?
 
It's a good idea to replace the cylinders because many brands of trailer use the same key to lock the storage doors. Yours probably fits many others. What you need to do is measure the depth of the cylinder in the ones you have and make sure to get the same depth. A good RV store will carry replacements or get them elsewhere.
 
I think we need more than a new cylinder but will check that out. Thanks.
 
I lube my camper door/storage area locks 2 or 3 times a summer with dry powered graphite. It does not attract dirt or road grime.

It make them so much easier to turn - lock or unlock.

Might try lubing them before replacement.
