5 Best RV Keyless Entry Door Locks For 2022


RVLock RV Keyless Entry

On almost every camping trip, we leave the travel trailer for a bike ride or visit a local attraction. We always lock the trailer, but I am nervous about losing the keys. That is an easy way to ruin the trip. I started looking for a solution and researched the RV keyless entry door locks and best RV locks. Here is what I found.

My 5 Best RV Keyless Entry Door Locks for 2022 are:

  1. RVLock V4 Keyless Entry Handle w/Integrated Keypad & Fob
  2. Latch.It Rv Keyless Entry Door Lock
  3. Carmtek – RV Keyless Entry Door Lock Latch Handle
  4. AP Products 013-509 Electric Travel Trailer Lock
  5. RUPSE Zinc Alloy RV Keyless Entry Door Lock

There are lots of keyless RV locks on the market these days. There is also a fairly wide price range between them. The cheapest one we researched was priced at about $100 (that one didn’t make this list.)

The most expensive was around $260 and was specifically for a Class A or Class C. This one also didn’t make my list.

The locks that made my list hit my sweet spot for price, have decent product reviews or offer something unique as a nice feature.

Ultimately, I purchased the RVLock V4 and installed it on my trailer. You can see the install video below. That doesn’t mean that it is the only one you should consider. One of the other four locks on this list might meet your needs better.

1. RVLock V4 Keyless Entry Handle w/Integrated Keypad & Fob

The RVLock V4 Keyless Entry Handle w/Integrated Keypad & Fob is probably the leading contender for most people with travel trailer like mine.

My trailer only has one door, but if you have a floorplan that has two, this is an excellent option because of the way the fobs work

RVLock Pros:

RVLock Cons:

  • The audible beeps it makes are surprisingly loud
  • No backlit keypad
  • Some negative reviews about the red lock latch breaking off.

Overall, this is the lock I purchased. This lock was in my price range. There was enough sales volume and reviews to make me believe there was a real company behind it.

I’ve also seen forum posts from other RVers that have had good experiences with this product. It seems to work well for them and I think it will for me too.

The installation and programing were a piece of cake. You can watch my install video below.

2. Latch.It Rv Keyless Entry Door Lock

The Latch.It RV lock, or Latch-It RV Lock was a very close runner-up in my selection process. It was a good buy on Amazon.

LatchIt Lock Pros:

  • Was a little cheaper than the RVLock, and included TWO key fobs
  • Possibly more durable than other RV locks as this one is made from 100% metal
  • IP67 waterproofing
  • Backlit keypad for easy use at night
  • They offer a 100% satisfaction refund
  • Lifetime warranty

Latch It RV Locks Cons:

  • While the reviews are generally positive, there just aren’t that many
  • The company’s website is a .org site. That doesn’t help me trust the product.
  • I have never seen this brand before.

I think Latch It RV Lock is a fairly new company. That isn’t necessarily a bad thing, just something to consider.

When I try to compare the LatchIt RV lock to the RVLock, I think the Latch.It comes out slightly ahead. I felt the RVLock was a little more of a known quantity because I have seen and heard about the product before. I was uncomfortably taking a leap of faith on an unknown product.

If Latch.It continues on its current trend; it could very well take the top spot in 2022.

3. Carmtek – RV Keyless Entry Door Lock Latch Handle

I found the Carmtek RV Keyless Entry Door Lock almost every bit as good as the prior two. Check the current price on Amazon. The Carmtek has a sleek look that I think is a little nicer.

Carmtek Pros:

  • Comes with one key fob
  • Solid metal construction
  • IP65 waterproofing
  • Backlit keypad

Carmtek Cons:

  • Some of the negative reviews expressed customer service issues.
  • The Amazon imagery looked a little too like generic stock imagery and made me not trust the company.
  • There are some negative reviews on the key fob

This Carmtek RV lock is clearly a top option. In general, it is pretty similar to the prior two and worth considering. If you wanted a second key fob, Carmtek offers a bundle that comes with two.

4. AP Products 013-509 Electric Travel Trailer Lock

AP Products Electric Travel Trailer Lock is my budget pick for the top five. Check the current price on Amazon. While it may not look as nice as the others on this list, it may still meet your needs.

AP Products Pros:

  • Backlit keypad
  • Same easy install as more expensive options

AP Products Cons:

  • Does not come with a key fob
  • Reviews list customer service as a major issue

Overall, the RV lock by AP Products is a decent option if you are looking for something a little cheaper than other options on this list. I never found an add-on option for a key fob, so if that is a deal-breaker for you, stick to the other locks on this list.

5. RUPSE Zinc Alloy RV Keyless Entry Door Lock

The RUPSE Zinc Alloy RV Keyless Entry Door Lock is unique on this list. This RV lock is the only option that offers three different color variations. You can choose between black, silver, or gold versions. Check the current price on Amazon here.

RUPSE Pros:

  • Three different attractive colors
  • Includes one key fob

RUPSE Cons:

  • The reviews aren’t horrible, but they don’t overwhelm me
  • Some reviews reference poor instructions and inadequate quality assurance
  • I think it is unlikely the company has any US presence, which is essential if you have warranty issues

Conclusion

Upgrading your RV keyless door lock is a great idea. The added peace of mind of knowing you can access your trailer or RV if you lose a key means a lot to me. I am always worried that one of my twins accidentally locks the door, and there is no easy way in.

Any of these top 5 options are easy to install. If you’re worried about that part of it, you shouldn’t.

Do yourself a favor and upgrade to one of these keyless entry door locks for next season.
