I just bought a used trailer from a SL and they did provide me the printed instructions for replacing the lock cylinder but I can't find them.
Does anyone know where I can find them online?
Also, I'm not sure if the instructions explain how to remove the panels to gain access to the lock, but if not I'd like those also.
Thanks in advance.
I found this on another thread. Would still like to have written instructions if possible.

Not sure if this thread helps any??

Got any tips on removing the inner panels on the trailer so I can get at the lock assembly to change it out?Quote:

On a serious note, itis not difficult to accomplish. About 30 minutes max including a break to rest.
The side carpet is secured with Velcro, roll it back to expose the ends of the plastic panels. The carpet on the floor just rolls back. The panels are just held on with torx screws and one overlaps the other one. Pay attention to where the holes are. Remember, the two screws on the lip (on either side of the lock) need to be removed, too. It really is pretty easy once you get into it.Quote:

So, I paid a locksmith $20 to pick the lock, remove the cylinder and replace it with my keyed cylinder. Now, it works and I've reinstalled it and it locks and unlocks, latches and unlatches the front and back hatches just fine.
I'll post some pics and instructions a little later, including removing the interior body panel to access the latch assembly.
It takes a T-30 Torx screwdriver, a flat bladed screwdriver to remove the one plastic 'rivet' and a medium Philips. That's it for tools.
