Trimark keys - replacements

Hello, I searched for this subject and did not find anything in the forum Is it possible to get replacement keys from a source other than a Thor dealer? I want to make an extra copy of the entry door key and the deadbolt key that I can hide somewhere in the chassis structure. I have had some problems with the keyless entry (door contacts become dirty). I am not close to any Thor dealers at the moment.

I would think and lock smith could cut the key if they have the right blank. I once had a lock smith order the right blank to cut a specialty key for me. Have you asked a lock smith? And possibly if you called customer service at Trimark maybe they could help you out.

You can buy blanks on line but I just went to my local ACE Hardware and they made keys from their stock of blanks. They had a drawer marked RV keys and mine were there. Somewhat amazing but quick, easy and cheap.

That's the answer I was hoping for. I have not tried to get copies made yet. I didn't want to have to go to a half dozen hardware stores in search of the right key blanks. As i understand it, these keys are pretty much universal. Thanks

Never tried a hardware store, but have had dupes made at several different locksmith shops for various RVs. Forget checking with Thor or Trimark.

Keys

I called Trimark and got all new replacements for about $3 a key. Just give them the numbers on on the keys you have. Very fast service too

Trimark keys

I got keys at my local ACE Hardware store. Not all Ace stores carry them. I like to have extra sets of keys right from the beginning of ownership.

PS don't waste your time at Lowe's or Home Depot. Their automatic key systems don't have these blanks.

Congratulations; did those keyblanks have a code number on them, that we could ask for?

Bob,

The blanks for the keys I had made at Ace Hardware are HY-KO brand. The blank code numbers were TM13 & TM14. Maybe the TM designates Tri-Mark ? The keys were $2 each. Much cheaper than buying the blanks at the local RV store that could not cut the keys.

TriMark

I emailed TriMark two weeks ago and asked about a replacement lock for the zinc one our Gemini was delivered with. I included a picture with the inside plate removed so they could verify the serial number. Yesterday I received via FedEX a new lock assembly less the inside plate. Five minutes later the new lock was installed. It seems like TriMark is happy to help when they are asked.

Went to Lazy Days in Florida this week and they have all the TriMark keys and made 5 for me for free. Also go 50% off on many products. They always help.
