It works fine. Why they used zinc potmetal for the striker when it seems to only save $5 is beyond me.

Same story while in Rapid City, SD, last year, we were locked in but with the able assistance of nearby campers, got the door opened. The local RV dealer had the updated Trimark lock in stock so, as in your case being far from home, I bought the new one with the steel striker or plunger and spent about 20 minutes installing it and went in our way. Silicone spray lube is frequently used.
