Adam_C Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 I have unfortunately misplaced the key that allowed me access to the bays with the batteries, electrical distribution, and generator power. Before I call a locksmith is there any chance it's just a standard key that I could order? I have a 2003 Holiday Rambler Imperial 40pst. Not great picture of the lock in question is attached.

Dwight Lindsey Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 That's a barrel key. Monaco used a lot of Southco products, so you could search Amazon and Ebay for Southco Barrel Key Here's one: https://www.amazon.com/Southco-E3-5-15-Motorhome-Campers-E3-26-715-15/dp/B077PLFSK1/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=southco+barrel+key&qid=1640582572&sr=8-3 I don't know if it will work, but it would be a small investment to find out.

Tony G. Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 On mine these are not really keys. More like the lug nuts on cars that a special shaped socket matches up to. You could probably stick a pair of needle nose pliers in there and turn it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radar22 Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 I went to a local locksmith and he had them in stock. May want to try one. It was the Southco brand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dleeadkins Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 This one is the one on my 2002 Windsor. It has worked on every other Monaco I have tried it on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Dog Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Little known fact: All the locks on those types of compartments use the same key on every rv unless someone changed the factory installed lock. Even worse on travel trailers, a CH741 key will open them ALL on any trailer. Saves time for the rv salesperson apparently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, a quite widely known fact. 😉🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
