Bus and RV Door Locks,

Most Commercial Buses come with a Dead bolt or an Air Operated Door & Lock .
As good and strong as it is,... It's still not as convenient as a RV styled lock mounted in your Door .

If you want to convert your Bus to a RV lock you need to be aware that Buses have a 2" door thickness,
No standard RV Lock is designed for this thickness..

However an Automotive RV Lock design will work and it's safer and stronger.

This design is stronger and safer
It has a  stronger locking mechanism than a RV lock and it does not matter how thick the door is.
 
It is connected remotely with cables or rods as in your automobile.
It does not matter how thick the door is,..
you can install your inside latch in many potential locations

Automotive style Lock,
Meaning simply it is connected via rods like your car.
It can be mounted anywhere on the outside of door panel and the inside handle can be mounted in
a different location, as apposed to an RV lock that has to be connected to itself on the inside.

MCI Solid Stainless Steel Entrance Door
We found it easier to cut out one larger opening and install our precut stainless flat bar with holes to fit the door lock into..

 

 After we do all the welding.
We grind, sand and polish the end piece and it looks brand new ..
Note!
The stabilized pins beside the door throw..
This is the safer of the inexpensive RV door Locks..

Rubber sealant will be trimmed when cured
