Ergonomically correct door handle compared to the factory one, very important for those with hand and arm motion issues.
Love these upgrade videos. These have been my favorites since the days of the Chaparral
You should do a collaboration series with Lock picking lawyer to test various RV locks to see which ones give you the best protection without any major design flaws.
I was thinking something similar. LPL needs to test this lock and see if it's really as secure as it claims to be on the box. I imagine that he would find it's not. 😄 As far as a collaboration goes, It would be a match made in heaven given that neither one ever shows their face and the only thing you ever see in the video is hands.
Door locks are for “honest” crooks. I imagine professionals can defeat any RV door lock with no problem. I look at these as something that is a convenience and in this case the outside handle is easier to use.
Spot on review JB.
I need to put one of these on my enclosed trailer. I like it 👍
We use pvc gutter to support sewer and store it on bumper
When my RVLock died on me, I decided to give the Global Ultra a try based on your video. Easy install and it does seem to be very well-made. But, a few weeks later, here’s what I found/dislike: 1. On my RV, a Grand Design Solitude with magnets to hold the door open, the door handle prevents the magnets from touching…about a 2 inch gap when the door is fully open. 2. If I understand correctly, Lippert entry doors are bowed out slightly in the center so that you get a good seal all around when closed. Unfortunately, this places a small amount of force on the outside face of the door latch. When trying to open the door, it can take abit of force to unlatch the door. When I first discovered this, I was convinced the door was locked. It is a bit more difficult to open the door when the stairs are stowed…it is easier once thstairs are in place and I am standing on them. So, very nice, well-built product, but I am going to be trying something else.
Another rad video
Loving being able to see you making changes to your rigs.
Very good upgrade. I like the handle style, but being old school, I still prefer a dead bolt for piece of mind.
Just perches a GRAND SERVER 267 RBSS one of the screws for the door latch is stripped and fell out this looks like a nice replacement. 👍👊😎
We have had one of these for four years now, and I am going to change the battery this spring when we get our 5er out of winter storage. We still haven't had to change the battery! We do not have the Bluetooth version. When you think of a PIN, use a 5 digit PIN, the first digit wakes it up the next four unlock the door, problem solved.
Since we have had ours, there has been absolutely no fading of the number buttons like gets talked about with other brands. We are still very happy with ours.
Does the exterior curved handle hit the side of the trailer when in full open position?
Neat, the new one does seem significantly more durable to boot.
I personally like the deadbolt having a physical deadbolt for when you’re travelling like just in case the latch didn’t latch all the way, if you hold in on the latch will it let you lock the deadbolt? Also I noticed it has two keyholes on the outside, If you lock them both do you lose your ability to unlock the Bluetooth and the code?
Yes, I agree. I like having the added security of an actual deadbolt for travel. Do both of the external keyhole do something or is one just for show?
I like everything about it except I would like key fobs and functional deadbolt!
Cheap RV’s flex while going down the road so we’ve had our door open if not using the deadbolt because it’s longer than the regular door latch. I’d rather have a true deadbolt.
Cool I like that
Great addition to the RV. I wish someone would make a keyless/Bluetooth lock/latch that replaces the Bauer BP-29 Euro style lock/latch. Bauer told me two years ago they were working on it but it has never surfaced.
You used a camera mount and didn't do this all one handed. I'm out of here! lol. I'm diggin that pull handle.That seems like it would be more ergonomic. I have the RVLock on my fifth wheel and the keypad is starting to peel away. I may consider this as an upgrade. I'd be interested in an update in a few months. I know my RVLock catch starts to get stiff and I have to lube it with white lithium grease every so often. The screws that hold it together also failed and I had to swap them out for stainless steel.
I wondered why the lock wouldn’t work on my truck camper. Have to push a button to wake it up first.
Great solution to standard manufacture handle/lock. I wish i could find another lock for our travel trailer, beyond the one that came on it. Getting ready to order the 7th lock in 8 years. The opening height of mine is bigger the what see as standard. I contacted the rv manufacturer and they just referred back to the handle manufacturer. I even reached out to etrailer and they did not have a replacement for my opening. 😢
Great video. Keep them coming.
Can you shut off the lock/unlock tone? How is the keypad? A complaint I have seen is the keypad wears out?
Is there a key fob option?
I’m starting my research on keypad locks. Are they keyed unique or common key stock?
Also wish they would have used a AA battery vs the CR123. Just another spare battery to carry.
Just wondering. If it does not have a seperate dead bolt mechanism. Why does it have or need two key holes?
I'm on my 2nd one in a year and it just stopped onpening with the code too!!! Hope you have better luck.
The OEM handle is almost flat, but this one seems curved in a way that it will hit the side of the TT once open. Can you confirm, please? Thanks!
Does the factory handrail still close over the door for travel?
If it's bluetooth, it should just have a proximity lock. I don't like that you have to go into the app and navigate to a screen, then manually lock or unlock it. It should just lock once your phone is out of range and then unlock when it's in range.
this could be implemented into various "smart home" scripts. the Victron community has many features that can do this with other hardware, but it would be nice to have it from the manufacturer this way.
@@stinson87 I had it on my house. Would love it on my RV.
Not sure I would like the lock and unlock depending if you are in range. What happens when you leave and other campers no longer have the ability to unlock the trailer?
@@tommcl386 That's what the keypad and key hole are for.
What is the advantage of having a glass door? Why would they make a door with breakable material or is it some kind of unbreakable glass? You can have the best lock a thief would just smash the door...
Would it work with two entry doors?
just remember a 5 digit code? program the last 4... now it wakes up and then accepts the other 4.
I would try it out if it weren't a ridiculous $270
I don't like the glass doors is there a point to them? what if you wanted to add an additional lock
maintenance is the primary reason, door/window seals are behind the glass so less chance of seals sun rotting, also no plastic trim to rot around the window
What happens if the door is locked and the battery goes dead? Is there a key where you can still get in?
There are literally keys hanging out of it for most of the last part of the video.
Looks like you gave up on the gravel deal. 😂😊😅
Gravel deal?
@@BigTruckBigRVthey must be late to the party. I think they are referring to the asphalt reclaim spot you had before
Lost when you said that it didn’t have an actual deadbolt.
If there is no deadbolt then why the 2 key holes?
There is a deadbolt. The deadbolt locks behind the regular latch internally. There's only one external steel bar, but then the steel bar internally slides into place to deadbolt it.
But why 2 key holes?
So what was the PIN number?? 😏
It's your ATM pin.

i installed the touch pad entry door latch and it is complete junk. the reviewer in this review missed two big issues, and one of those he got completely wrong. 1. the battery doesn't last any reasonable amount of time. in storage mode, i got about 30 days. daily use, i got no more than 3 days. As i installed this while it was in storage, the warranty period was ticking away (my fault, i now). BY the time i got it out of storage, researched the issue; time was up. I got an earlier revision of the latch which was known to have this issue....... no replacement for me even though this is a manufacture issue. 2. the handle pull in the review is made to look very easy, and he states how easy it is. WRONG! you have to insure tension is off the striker plate and then pull. very easy then. My wife and daughter have to use one hand to take tension off and the other hand to pull the handle. No matter how much adjusting was done, same result. he did use his thumb to keep pressure off the striker plate, but my wife is too short to stand on the ground and do that. Love this channel, and will continue to watch it, but he got this one flat wrong.
I’m a little concerned about this video because you’re basically creating a 30A to 50A long ‘dogbone’ by installing that jumper in the smartplug. I’m guessing that you’re afraid of someone stealing your dogbone at the pedestal end? You didn’t show the plug end of the cable but I assume its the standard 30A ‘Y’ kind.
The cable was already a 30 to 50amp cable. I replaced the 50amp side with the SmartPlug. Like anything dealing with electricity, you just need to watch the current you pull through the cable..
Batteries and Bluetooth...
I don't think so.
Good luck with that smart device!
Did you not notice the keyhole?
You don't need to use Bluetooth, or even batteries if you want it to act like a normal lock.
Wow. You've completely sold out. Yikes.
Yeah, because nobody on RUclips does sponsored videos that give us the ability to do instructional videos.
