Hi,

I know i am not the first neither the last but we have lost our caravan keys and wheel lock keys!

We have searched our car & everywhere imaginable inside & out the house & have to realise that they have either been thrown away/dropped or just lost until when!!!

We are planning on selling our van and so you can imagine our frustration.

Question is how do we get a spare set - or in for that matter?

We have a Abi herald jubilee - cris registration shows it as 1993. 

We have rang Abi who initially asked for the chassis number / vin,  then when we rang back with the details they said they only deal with statics not tourers.

We need to get into the door which is a ZADI keylock, someone said drill it & get a replacement is this easy as I see there are spares on ebay or would it be better to get a locksmith?

For the front locker & side battery compartment we believe it was a Southco key & have ordered one from ebay as they appear to be the same - hopefully ( those lockers are open, but obviously need to be locked.

Last of all the wheel lock, i will need to angle grind this off i suppose- unless I opt for the locksmith option who hopefully would access the caravan door  & wheel lock & replace both barrels

Just a thought, take a look under your car seats and also in the little shelves in the car doors. I lost my mobile once, searched for days and found it jammed right under my passenger seat! Friend also lost hers and found it in the car door shelf! They may have dropped out ofyour coat pocket.

If you have make and model of wheelclamp can you get spares from manufacturer. I had that and found we could order them providing we have number on key which we had made note of in paperwork luckily

When I had my locks changed after a break in, the caravan repair center said there were only 21 different keys across all manufactures.
