These "combi-cam" locks, will not fit inside the handles of the slam latch doors, unless you punch new holes in the doors.

Locks look good but "locks are for honest people" the bad guys will get in IF they want.

I 100% agree that they are not very secure, especially if they are keyed alike; but i still lock mine anyways- just a force of habit i guess. just like locking the front door on my house.

I really don't think the locks work that well against anyone that wants to steal anything. I just lock mine to make sure they don't fly open while traveling.

You can get similar locks at Home Depot, Lowes, Office Depot, Camping World, etc. Take an old one with you. Some places have keyed-alike pairs. Of course, a locksmith can make you a set keyed alike, too.
As was said, they won't stop anyone who really wants to get in, but at least they won't have the "universal" key.
Might prevent some smart-aleck from unlocking the doors while you are having lunch just to watch the doors fly open as you leave.

I changed the cam locks on all of my outside compartments and just left
the turn locks as is. Was able to find 4 keyed alike and the change out
was reallty simple. At least the 751 key doesn't work them any more.
