[VAL] Re: VAL Digest V1 #259 - Door lock



For those who have "inherited" a trailer with a door that has a regular 
house-type doorknob, Weiser makes one called a "WeiserBolt" that combines a 
normal entry doorknob set with a deadlatching feature. Turning the inside 
knob or handle when the latch is locked withdraws the bolt from its full 1" 
deep deadbolt position to fully withdrawn in a normal twist of the knob or 
handle.
The deadlatching feature is necessary on RV locks to make sure that road 
vibration does not work the latch loose as is possible with a plain spring 
latch.
