Listers,

I've fabricated a pretty inexpensive cabin door lock for my RV-10. It
seems to work well.

Photos and text are at my web page,

click the "Door Locks" link.

I like the solution. Now where are you going to get the 3rd lock for
the passenger side?

Another door lock solution is by Palle Olesen here <http://www.rv10.dk/>
to the bottom of the page. Not as simple as Tim's.

I had the same thought. One possibility would be to have a simple lock on
the inside (2x4 against the handle Wink ) and only have a true external
accessible lock on the pilot's side.

I plan to lock the passenger door from inside only -- no external lock. 
 
One very simple method would be to drill a pair of vertically-oriented holes through the interior door handle on the forward, outboard corner.  To lock the door, drop a bolt or nail thru the hole pair.  This would prevent the latch from being pressed, so the handle could not be rotated.

About those locks with identical keys. Some one has already posted several months ago about a source in WA. I bought three packages with two locks in each all identically keyed for $20 total. Identical to the aviation lock except the retaining washer for the inside. We will fab a washer or glue the locknut in place.

Tim,
Can you give the dimensions of your LOCK for the RV 10 door?  Size of hole in door.........length of cam lock........length of locking bar..............etc.    I have seen several locks like this on office furniture.........desk drawers, file cabinets, curio cabinets........etc.
Thanks,
DEAN

I mentioned this a while ago on the list, but wasn't sure if it would
work for a door lock. I'm not familiar with Zinc in relation to
corrosion, so not sure about that. I was planning on attempting to use
this for the baggage door lock, but it may be reasonable for a door lock
also? I like the idea of a combination as opposed to a key as I am
prone to loosing them. Smile

I like the combination lock idea, as I share in the lost-key syndrome.
It appears that the lock protrudes quite away out from the surface, and
that's a bit of a turnoff for me. don't have a clue as to zinc's
corrosive properties.
