Cargo door lock

[Campcook]

my carg door will close and I can turn the key in it but it will not lock any idea what is wrong

Turn the key in it with it open and you should be able to see what's happening or not. A lot of times the nut that holds the lock arm on will come loose.

Where can I find both the lock and the closures? Has anyone changed the lock on the dump door with just a closure? I don't keep my keys in my pocket and wouldn't put my hands their anyway after dumping. I take off and the door drops open and I have to stop to close it. Am I the only one to do something dumb, repeatedly?

You've probably figured it out by now, but my guess is as pointed out above - a loose nut or screw would allow the key to turn without the arm on the inside moving into lock/unlock position. Tightening it all up (one Phillips screw, one nut around the shaft of the lock on the inside) may take care of it for you.
