dead bolt and latch pin

Both the dead bolt and latch pin on the exterior door of my '94 excella are worn from vibration when towing and I was wondering if I could get replacement parts for this.

If you do a search on lock repair you will see that Andy from InlandRV has an interesting observation and I'm sure has the parts. I never realized the many problems that stem from out-of-balance wheel assemblies until I read one of his posts on the subject. He also has posted a procedure to have the wheel and brake assemblies balance correctly. Worth a search and reading!

I rebuilt my door lock with tender loving care considering a replacement unit is over $700 retail, if you can find the actual parts. Your's would be much less.
