Storage bin locks?

I have a Damon intruder 349 for 2001. Several of the storage compartment locks don’t function. The keys I have work in most of the storage compartments but there are several where they just doe not lock. Does anyone have any idea where one might get replacement locks to for those that don’t appear to be functioning properly?

Are they round cam locks?

Did you try copious amounts of WD 40?

If your key is stamped ch751, it will fit most of the RV storage bays out there. A switch to a cam lock type will make your compartments more secure. (Still, a thief can easily pry them open.) Cam locks are easy to install, and available on the web when you have the lock dimensions.

I didn't see the pic, but my Hurricane has two different locks. On some of the compartments there is a round cam lock and the link I posted is one place to buy them. I am going to replace mine because as someone else posted, most RV's have the same key. The other lock I have is black and I haven't found a replacement for them yet. I hope you find a solution to the problem.

I didn't see a picture....
Just last week I had problems with a couple of my camlocks..actually the thumb turn ones, but same thing, just without a key.
I removed them and found them to be corroded. I soaked them a while in PB Blaster then worked them back and forth a few times to free it up, they worked fine after.
