We always seek to offer “countermeasures” or backups to key systems in you coach. You need help keeping an antique motorhome viable on the road do when there IS an issue there is somewhere to go other than Capt. Hook.
Recently there was a thread on Facebook discussing an issue I feel everyone should consider…….we do on every restoration.
If your entry door is jammed shut and will not open for a pile of reasons you will have a hard time getting the inside metal plate off to access the latch mechanism without taking these 4 screws out which will be in the door jamb when the entry door is shut. 
Ask me how I know! On all restorations we now cut an opening in that harder than woodpecker lips inside metal plate putting an access covered over If you ever find yourself in such a situation. 
Backup plans like this are important…let me know if u need more.
