RV Locks - Why Your Customers Need Them  

 

RV locks are one of the most important upgrades a new RV owner can make, but many don't know they need to. If you operate a dealership, this is an area where you can add some additional sales. Here is a closer look at why your customers need new RV locks, and what options you can offer them.

Assembly-Line Keys are Universal

So why do your customers need to upgrade their RV locks? Well, most RVs come off of the assembly line with the same key. That means there are hundreds of thousands of people out there that have keys that can open each others' RVs. That is far from secure, leaving your customers and their rigs, not to mention the belongings inside of them, vulnerable. Even though most people at the RV resort or campground are good people, there are always risky ones, and your customers don't want to leave their stuff vulnerable.

RV Locks Provide an Upselling Opportunity

Most RV purchasers, especially first-time RV owners, won't know this fact about their RV. However, after spending the money to buy one, they're going to want to be fully confident that the rig is secure. This is where your dealership can upsell. By offering new locks to your customers, you can help them with this problem.

Not only can you help them meet an important security need, but by offering new locks you can add some sales to your bottom line. Your customers will be thankful that you took the time to help them protect their investments, and you will be able to add some profits to your overall sale.

Types of RV Locks to Consider

So what RV locks would be best for your customers? Here are some options to consider.

The 900 Secure Series Entrance Lock is a great option for those who want a unique key. This series comes with a non-mastered key code that is not accessible using any existing master key. The lock comes with a serial number that the RV owner has to use to order more keys. This helps protect against the risk that someone has a master key and is able to open the RV lock. This is a major security upgrade.

For RV owners with cam locks, the CH-751 cam lock is common. Unfortunately, this means there are many keys floating around that can open this lock. The CLB Cam from Global Link is easy to use and reduces this risk. Simply unscrew the existing CH-751 lock and add the new CLB Cam to give your customer more security. This is a task your customers should be able to do on their own if they wish.

If you have customers that demand the ultimate security, you want to offer the G391 Series. This key and lock set allows your dealership to create 90 different key codes from one system. It features a removable core that allows fast re-keying at your dealership. This means even more security for your customers, giving them added confidence in your dealership.

Remember, your customers don't know the risk that comes with the key and lock system from the manufacturer. You can inform them of this risk, and offer a solution. Stock up on replacement locks and keys, and give your customers the option to upgrade their security with your help.
