This Vecam door lock provides a complete replacement solution for caravans and motorhomes with a modern 115mm diameter black circular design. The kit includes everything needed for installation: inner and outer lock components, a spacer, barrel with two keys, gasket seal, and all necessary screws. It's designed for doors ranging from 23mm to 34mm thick, which covers most standard caravan door specifications found on popular manufacturers like Bailey, Swift, and Elddis models.
Determining whether you need a left or right-handed lock is straightforward. Stand outside your caravan facing the door. If the hinges sit on the left side, you need a left-handed lock. Hinges on the right mean you need a right-handed lock. Installing the wrong hand won't prevent the lock from fitting, but the key will turn in the opposite direction, which feels unnatural and can cause confusion when locking up. The Vecam barrel system has become a widely recognised standard in the leisure vehicle industry, with replacement barrels and keys readily available when needed.
The complete kit saves time during installation because all components arrive together rather than sourcing parts separately. The gasket seal ensures a weatherproof fit between the lock and door surface, preventing moisture ingress that can damage door frames over time. One consideration: if you're replacing an existing lock with a different brand, you may need to drill new mounting holes, as fixing positions vary between manufacturers. The included fixings work with standard caravan door construction, though you'll need a drill and screwdriver for installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Stand outside your caravan facing the door. Look at which side the hinges are positioned. If the hinges are on the left side of the door, you need a left-handed lock. If the hinges are on the right side, you need a right-handed lock. Installing the wrong hand will still fit mechanically, but the key will turn in the opposite direction to what feels natural, which can cause confusion when locking and unlocking your caravan door.
This Vecam door lock is designed to fit caravan and motorhome doors between 23mm and 34mm thick. This range covers the majority of standard caravan door constructions found on popular UK manufacturers including Bailey, Swift, Elddis, and Coachman models. If your door falls outside this thickness range, you would need to consider alternative lock systems such as the Caraloc 700 which accommodates doors from 22mm to 50mm thick.
The complete kit contains one inner lock assembly, one inner lock spacer, one outer lock assembly, one Vecam barrel, two keys, one gasket seal, and four fixing screws. This is everything required for a full installation onto your caravan or motorhome door. The gasket seal provides weatherproofing between the lock and door surface to prevent moisture ingress. You will need your own drill and screwdriver to complete the installation.
Yes, Vecam barrels are available separately with new keys, which is more economical than replacing the entire lock assembly. The barrel can be removed from the lock housing and replaced without disturbing the inner and outer lock components already fitted to your door. Vecam barrels have become a widely recognised standard in the caravan industry, making replacement parts readily accessible through leisure vehicle retailers across the UK.
The Vecam lock has a 115mm diameter circular design with its own specific mounting pattern. If you're replacing a lock from a different manufacturer like Caraloc or Hartal, the existing screw holes may not align with the Vecam mounting positions. You will likely need to drill new holes in your door for the Vecam fixings. The old holes can be filled with appropriate sealant to maintain weatherproofing. The gasket seal included with this kit will help cover minor misalignment between old and new mounting positions.
Yes, the Vecam lock includes a gasket seal specifically designed to create a weatherproof barrier between the lock housing and your caravan door. This seal prevents rainwater and moisture from penetrating around the lock, which could otherwise cause damage to the door frame or internal components. The black plastic and metal construction is designed for outdoor exposure on leisure vehicles. Regular light lubrication of the barrel mechanism helps maintain smooth operation in damp UK conditions.
You need a cordless or mains-powered drill with an appropriate drill bit size for the pilot holes, and a pozidrive screwdriver to tighten the four fixing screws. A tape measure helps with accurate positioning, particularly when replacing an existing lock where you want to minimise visible holes in the door. A pencil for marking hole positions is also useful. The installation doesn't require specialist tools or professional fitting, though you should take care to position the lock correctly before drilling, as holes in caravan doors are permanent.
