Hey there!

I was hoping that someone here might be able to help me out!  I bought a Kiefer trailer back in the fall and the place I bought it from have misplaced the keys (door, deadbolt, and drop-down windows) for it, therefore I have none.  I am wondering if there's anyway to get a set of replacement keys...would be much easier (and cheaper) than changing all the locks out.

Thanks in advance!

I emailed Kiefer, and this is the response I got:

"We no long carry the keys you are referring to but if you call 800-431-XXXX they will be able to help you get the keys you need.   Sorry for the run around with this but the trailer is older than the keys we keep in inventory."

I called the number she gave me and the lady there said that the codes are not for their locks.  Whether she looked them up or not is another thing - she said she didn't recognize the numbers.  Maybe I should try again?

I bought the trailer from a used car dealership, so I don't know that they would have any sort of contacts at Kiefer.

I second the Locksmith.   Just have him pick the lock and make you a set of keys.

Figured I might have to do that!

Thanks so much for your help!

Thanks Richard!

I'll email you details right away!

Man,is this guy great,or what?!!!

Sure wish I'd had his help when the dealer "lost" a set of keys to a brand new LQ Platinum that we bought.

I do have to thank Parkland in MO for getting us a key to the battery box that had,mysteriously,been replaced or rekeyed after it left Platinum's production in OK.(By the way,I was able to get my keys directly from Platinum,finally,all except the battery box.)

RT,you're the man of the day.

I couldn't agree more!  Thanks so much for all of your help - I really appreciate it!!

When I bought my Sidekick trailer it had no keys with it even though it came from the original owners.  I tried working through the company but they had no record of what keys had been used.

When I first bought the trailer, I replaced the lock and key on the main door at a camper place so I could at least lock the camper. 

I had a friend give me a suggestion that I thought was a scarey thought.  He said a lot of those camper door keys are universal so he gave me some keys from his brothers camper that had been flooded to try and a few of his own off his horsetrailer.  I manage to find keys for the water, electric, drop windows and walk thru side door.  I still needed the walk thru door from the bathroom to the horse compartment.  When I helped my parents move, I found a set of keys off of a camper they use to own so I tried them and managed to find the walk thru door key. Found all keys from old sets, scarey...... 

why don't you just take charge of it,and contact 4-Star yourself? I don't know how long you've been waiting on the dealer to do it but,if it's been long enough,obviously,it's not a priority for him.(Not saying that it shouldn't be,just that it looks as if it's NOT.)

We bought an older 4 Star and I contacted them for several re[placement parts,one of which was a key.The man in the parts department is most helpful.Call them.If the dealer ever does follow through you can have fun by telling him "Whoops,I took care of it,thought you were just too busy or something."

Find out what brand trailer door you have. I needed an extra set of keys and couldn't get them locally. I found out if you take the inside of the lock off there is a factory number for that particular lock. You can then order the key online. Mine cost $7.00 each key. The RV store was going to have to order it anyway. Mine is a FASTEC Manufacturing Company (FIC) door. I just googled it. You can get the tumblers and change them all out to the same key for slightly more than each individual key. 

I never thought of going directly to the Mfg.  I just thought the 4Star dealer would help me.  But I did contact  the mfg. and the guy said he did have our key number and will ship them out at $10 each.  Thanks!

We went to several RV places for a key. In fact, I talked to the key rep. who sevices our hardware store.  He can't get the key.  I wouldn't think of taking anything apart on the door.  I just know it would not go back right!
