How Re-Keying Makes Your RV More Secure
When you're out at the campground enjoying nature, the last thing you want to worry about is the security of your rig. Yet RVs come with standard keys and locks that are far too easy to pick, and many keys are universal across different RVs made by the same manufacturer. If you're still sporting the standard dealer locks, you may be inviting a potential thief to let themselves into your RV.
To ensure your security while also giving you one key to access all locks, consider having your RV re-keyed. The G391 series offers the option to re-key locks to accept up to 90 different key codes, giving RV owners unprecedented control. Here's a closer look at how these systems work, and how they can improve your RV's security.
The Power of a Removable Core
The G391 system has a removable core that gives it the ability to be customized to fit a variety of key codes. Prior to this innovation, many RV owners had a generic lock that had the same key as the lock their neighbors had, eliminating the security of locking the RV. This has changed.
With the G391 series of locks, RV owners now have a locking system that can quickly be changed. This is due to the system's removable core. Using a specially designed re-key tool, the core can be removed from the lock and customized to fit a new key. This process is fairly easy to do, but it allows the RV owner to change the lock on their RV simply, providing greater security and access.
Re-Key a New or Existing Rig
With the right tools, re-keying an RV is not difficult. This can be done at the dealership level when a customer buys a new rig, or an existing RV owner can use the re-keying tool to set up their existing rig for a new key. Regardless, the option to re-key takes security to a new level and reduces one of the biggest risks associated with RV ownership.
Why Re-Keying Makes Sense
If you have an RV, chances are you store many valuable items inside. Not only that, but the rig itself is vulnerable. If someone accesses your space, you could lose your investment.
With generic keys straight from the dealership, this is always a risk. The chances that someone else in your RV park has the same key is quite high. Re-keying gives you a custom key and lock that is difficult to hack. Re-keying the rig prevents this.
Not only that but with a re-keying system, you can also prevent having multiple keys to open multiple locks. Instead, set up your system so that all of the locks open with the same key. This makes your own personal access more convenient.
Once you have a system that allows for re-keying, consider doing it on occasion to update the security of your RV. With the fast, easy re-keying process, you could easily re-key every time you take it out, if you wish.
Re-keying is fast and affordable once you have the locks in place. You don't have to spend a lot of money to upgrade or change all of your locks. Just use the re-keying tool and have some new keys made, and you can re-key your RV in under a minute. If you have concerns about security, give yourself peace of mind by re-keying today.
