RV Designer T507 TriMark Motorhome Entrance Door Lock with Deadbolt

In this review of the RV Designer T507 TriMark motorhome entrance door lock, the bottom line is straightforward: this is a practical, direct-replacement entry lock for RV owners who need a sturdy, FMVSS 206 compliant solution that fits 1.38 to 1.58 in thick doors. It is best for people replacing a damaged TriMark 060-1650 style lock or upgrading to a rigid paddle with a non-removable deadbolt for added security. Installation is designed to be straightforward for a competent DIYer and the unit aims to balance durability with a clean, factory look.

Key Features

• Direct replacement: Designed to match the footprint and hole pattern of TriMark 060-1650 so it installs easily into existing cutouts without major modification.
• Door fit range: Fits RV and motorhome doors from 1.38 to 1.58 in thick so it will work with most standard entrance doors.
• Bidirectional use: Configurable for right- or left-hand operation, simplifying replacement regardless of door swing.
• Integrated deadbolt: Non-removable deadbolt cylinder and rigid paddle offer enhanced security to reduce the risk of forced entry.
• FMVSS 206 compliance: Built to meet motor vehicle safety standards, giving reassurance that the lock meets regulatory safety and construction expectations.
• Retrofit-friendly: Footprint and hole pattern are intended to make this an easy retrofit for worn or damaged RV entry hardware.

Who It's For

This lock is aimed at RV owners, builders, and technicians who need a like-for-like replacement for a TriMark style entry lock or want a reliable upgrade for enclosed trailers and motorhome entry doors. It is particularly suitable for those who prefer a heavy-duty metal lockset with an integrated deadbolt and a clean, OEM appearance.

It is less appropriate for anyone whose door thickness falls outside the 1.38 to 1.58 in range, or for users who require a keyed removable cylinder or advanced electronic access features. If you need remote entry, smart lock integration, or a custom nonstandard fit, look for an alternative designed for those needs.

Pros & Cons

Cons

• Some users report mixed lock behavior, so occasional unexpected locking has been noted and may require adjustment or attention.
• Does not include electronic or remote entry features, limiting appeal to those who want smart access.
