Question I can't lock the 'Water Tank Fill door'

Ok so my trailer was my grandparents and I cant ever remember the Water tank fill door/funnel staying closed. Was there a different key for this door than the ones for the storage compartments? Is there a different way to keep this door closed other than the Grey tape system that I can remember from my childhood? ( I still use this system today)

The trailer is a 1972 31 foot Sov. international Thanks , Mike

I cleaned out the house and did not come across any key that looked like that. There is still a "junk" drawer in the 71 but I dont recall seeing any key that looked like that. I will keep looking.

Has any one had to change that lock? Was it difficult?

Thanks for the reply, I dont want to Rally looking like a "hillbilly"

My airstream dealer had a drawer full of them and just gave me one. I would also think any lock shop should be able to make you one.

Annette is correct. Go to 'Outofdoorsmart.com' or call them from the number on their website. Great folks!

The lock on my fresh water fill was ruined by a dealership (long story, for compensation they practically gave me a new refridgerator for free). Is there a way to replace these?
