Re: [A/S] Looking for lock

Thanks - will pull it apart after the holiday - the lock type is shown in an album called "1973 21' GlobeTrotter/Land Yacht" as I can't see how to put pics in emails...a cosmetic issue is that the front is broken (chipped) and the whole thing is painted as the finish (chrome?) was pitted I suspect.

Thanks for helpful hint

Steve

I've worked on several Airstream locks (including a'74) and I'm having trouble remembering which is which. But I think a new piece can be fabricated. You may need to consult a machinist if you are not very handy. Also any lock smith should be able to supply you with a new lock cylinder and key at minimal cost.
