Hatteras Door Locks

[Pete]

Not sure this qualifies as a technical question but here we go. My 1976 LRC uses exterior door locks that use a "bit key/skeleton key", with the lock mechanism providing a see through path to the inside. I would like to have locks that limit the breeze and bugs that use these paths. Anyone aware of a replacement lock that is not see through?

Thanks

Pete, I have the same problem. I ordered new lock sets from Sam’s but they were a completely different size so I sent them back. So don’t waste time trying those. Hope you find an answer and if you do please share. John

I am considering fabricating a “swinging” brass or SS cover plate for the lock out of 1/8-inch stock. These could mount both on the interior and exterior of the doors. We have a few metal shops here... I will post the fabrication price when we’re done.BestChuck on Chartmaker 53 MY

Chuck, been thinking of something like that for a long time, let me know costs and I will help splitting them up with you. John

40 knot winds are pretty exciting thrunthose keyholes when the temps are in the low 40’s and the rains are beating us up. I live in the “slot” of the Golden Gate Bridge!
