Lock Replacement Freedom Trailer

[View from behind]

We received a lock cylinder with our 2015 RT Limited and were told by the dealer that the lock could be switched out with the one on the trailer so that the same key could be used for both. We currently have the trailer apart to be painted and we have the lock assembly out but it appears that the cylinder is not meant to be changed out. Looks like there is a pin that is pressed into the end of the cylinder holding everything together. Anyone familiar with this?

I used this video for 622 replacement

This video was great when I did exactly what you are looking to do. The video is for a brp 622 but might be helpful.

Its fairly simple to change once you get the Lock plate out off the trailer which is the fun part. Just be careful not to loose the little ball & Spring! it cost me $5 to have locksmith remove cylinder from the plate.

On the 622 trailer is was easier to remove the whole lock mechanism. Once removed, you can replace the cylinder with ease after you remove the lock plate. The pin is accessed much easier. Be sure to have the old key in the cylinder when you're pressing the pin. Press, turn and pull.

Watched the video. The lock on the Freedom trailer is completely different and I'm not sure it is meant to be changed. Thanks for taking the time to respond.

Dealer can change

If we don't hear back from any other freedom trailer owners on swapping out the cylinder, I'm sure the dealer could switch out the cylinders, or rekey the existing one to match your current key.

I was told when I bought my Freedom trailer that the lock could not be changed.

Taking a closer look, even if the lock set could be removed it appears that there is significant difference in the length of the cylinders. No big deal. Thanks to all for taking the time to respond.
