Replacement Doorknob/Lock??

[Global Mom]

Hi all!!

We just purchased our new-to-us PU last week.  It is a 1987 Starcraft Meteor.  We opened it up this weekend and started stocking it up and making plans for our first outing on Memorial Day weekend!    

Unfortunately, when we closed it back up, we couldn't lock the door.  The key won't seem to set the lock.  DH tried to oil the lock and loosen it up today but it didn't seem to help.  Is there a way to replace the lock ourselves?  Or do we need to replace the whole doorknob assembly?  Or do we need to call a locksmith to replace the lock?

Thanks in advance for all your help!  Both on this project and the MANY other ideas we have already gotten from you folks!!

Not sure about the starcraft but we replaced the door assembly, lock and handle with a stanley doorlock we bought at wally world for $6.00.  The replacement part for our coleman would have been $13.00.  Believe me, if we could install it, anyone can.

  Great suggestion!  Did you find one for campers or was it for a screen door or something?  Does it matter?  Thanks!

Just a regular Stanley for screen doors.
