Jack, there is a modification for that pressed washer on the back panel of the door handle that cracks and pulls loose. I saw it on Airstream Nuts & Bolts RUclips channel. Great video on your installation although the black on black was hard to see. Thank you for making these educational videos. Safe travels!
Sorry about the black on black. I have seen the mod you mentioned but I like this solution a little better. Appreciate the commend and thanks for watching.
@@LandingZoneHome yes I like this mod a lot and plan to install it on mine soon.
Why do you need to install the handle if the other installed part is supposed to prevent getting locked out/in?
Good question and the answer is; if you use the door handle to pull the door closed over time that handle will come off and you will be locked in. By adding the additional handle you can avoid this problem. Let me know if you have other questions and thank you for the question.
Thank you for responding with finding the complete lockout package. Got it ordered and will install soon. Take care. Dave.
My pleasure. :)
@@LandingZoneHome Hi, is there any issue in locking the door with the key after installation if the lock prevention device?
@@somedayistodayrv I have not tried. I just never use that lock and only use the deadbolt.
@@LandingZoneHome Airstream Co. told me to lock both before traveling. Just thought I would ask and see. I saw someone else had a similar question in the general comments section. Is it possible to get more information on this? Dave.
@@somedayistodayrv Okay, anything to keep my viewers happy :) I just tried it and turning the key is a little hard but it did lock but I wouldn't force it. I think it will depend on how close you install the blocker to your inside latch. You can reach out to Rob Mousel (on Airstream Addicts) the maker and ask him. But my recommendation regardless of what Airstream says is to NEVER use the handle latch lock. After all, Airstream just makes these thing they are NOT the experts on how to us an Airstream, we the owners are. Thanks for the question, I'm sure others will be interested also.
Great video. Thank you.
Thank you Donna for the kind comment and for watching.
Great video and very useful tip. Gotta compliment you on your taste in fashion. Love the Texas roadhouse t-shirt and you repping my state!
We too love TRH and they do some good things for Veterans. Appreciate you kind comment and thanks Mark for watching-- from FLORIDA :)
I just bought and installed this kit. The handle template did not align exactly with the handle posts, but I was able to make the needed adjustment. Also, there is a spacer sheet (gasket) under the latch panel. I installed the handle closer to the top edge of the latch plate and the spacer interfered with the upper left screw head. I was able to route the space to provide clearance for the screw head. Alignment of the Lockout Blocker is important. You only get one chance with 3M VHB adhesive pad.
Some great lessons learned here Bruce. And to be completely honest, I installed mine too low and immediately used a flat blade screwdriver to removed the 3M Sticky and it went back on just fine. :) But you have a very good point about the spacer gasket. Thanks for watching.
Mm so cool
Yes, it really is. Thanks for watching.
Did you ever figure out why your service 4wd light was coming on ?
Yes, I made added a comment shortly after I uploaded the video. The dealer replaced the actuator. Fortunately at that time it was still covered under warranty. Thanks for watching.
I looked but could not find the link to the "complete" package which is what I want. Can you let me know the link please? Thank you. Dave.

So I wonder if these issues are present from the very beginning or do they start locking you in/out over time? I just bought a 2017 with no known lock problems. Just wondering if that’s a good sign we won’t have this issue.
Good question and I don't know. My 2020 has never had a lock out. Appreciate your comment and thanks for watching.
I have the same door is that considered right side?
Great question and I had to check the Etsy website link to be sure. Here is what I found:
HOW TO ORDER---
While standing INSIDE the Airstream, look at the direction your door handle is pointing-
Purchase LEFT - if your door handle points left
Purchase RIGHT - if your door handle points right
Thanks for watching.
The same door as in this video you would order the “Left” model.
Seems like a good solution. However if this is installed, can you no longer lock the latch with a key from outside?
I never use the door handle lock, it is just too unpredictable. I only use the dead bolt. Thank you for watching.
@@LandingZoneHome Even driving down the road? I have the exact set up- door opens from left to right and I bought the kit from Rob. I installed the handle months ago because I was concerned that yanking on that door handle was going to be a problem eventually ( has AS modified that archaic design?🤷🏼♂️) but I only just got around to installing the “lockout preventer”. Has anyone been able to lock (and unlock) the door handle from the outside?
@@rogerdennison8154 I don't even think about locking the door handle only the deadbolt for me.
