I think we need a thread dedicated to ACE locks, as they don't all have the same lock as the Vegas/AXIS.
A number of people have stated they had their ACE locks break, so I think we need to identify which ACE locks are breaking.
I called Trimark today to attempt to preemptively replace my lock with a steel plunger model and I was told they don't make one. She stated that the lock on my ACE does not have a steel plunger equivalent (only Zinc) and further, that this lock has not had a breaking problem.
She was familiar with the lock with issues, but said mine was not it and didn't have problems.
While I gave her the model number, she first identified it by color, with white on the inside and black on the outside. That combo of white inside/black outside let her know what model it was.

If you have had a different ACE lock break, can you post a picture of it, so those with ACE's will know which locks are the high failure locks?
I believe this is the lock that has been failing:
