Replacement propane door latch

[wuck]

It seems the magic search term is "Compartment Thumb Lock". Here's a ton of them

Thanks. I know there are plenty of options, I was just asking if anyone knew which one FWC uses. I'm sure I can find something and make it work.

I also went with a locking one https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BDB686/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and so glad I did. Never have been questioned about it, even on ferries

Interesting...you were on the Alaskan ferries up the inside passage and it was OK to have a locked propane storage compartment in your camper?

No, Washington ferries. I did have to show them the tank was turned off

I replaced all my outside compartment latches to this combination lock. Very easy to do and you don't have to carry around another key.

Pretty cool in the fact that is somewhat resolves the safety argument against using locks.
You can leave it unlocked on the ferry or when driving if you are worried about a rollover.

That is cool. Just might have to order one

I just went to my favorite lock shop and bought a keyed replacement lock, maybe $10. Direct fit and had them key it alike to the entry door on the camper. Same with my water fill. not really all that complicated.

I do hope none of you with locking (or unlocking for that matter) propane doors ever get in a wreck. The rescue people will open your propane door and if it's locked the results won't be pretty. I'll keep looking around for the same type I already have.

I think Bill98388 answered you question on page 1.

My question was what FWC used but I do appreciate the other answers.
