On our 69 Globetrotter, with what seems like the original knob, you twist the inside knob to the right (clockwise) and it locks. (Doesn't matter if the door is open or closed.)

Be really careful though, you can lock yourself out all too easily. Always keep a set of keys in your pocket or leave an access hatch unlocked for a young'n to crawl through.

sounds like my kinda place. sorta like Rabbit Hash, Ky., where a friend lives & you have to dodge chickens all over the place. Maybe rabbits too, or maybe they all got made into hash already.

I'm growing to despise the whole concept of "neighbors."

Quitman, La is not all that far from Crossett Ark. Did your lock problem get fixed? On my trailer the key is stuck in the deadbolt lock. Turns the bolt just fine but will not come out in any position. I may have to remove the lock from the inside.
