The Spring Pins are $20.00 per pin plus shipping.
@fatfurious2 I will order a set and see if they work.
2/3/22 update: I was incorrect on my original pricing.

I think id like to have a pair of spring pins just in case. I havenāt had any issues with my locks, but the spring pins look really good.
How can I order?
Got them today @GFC_Support ! They look like a quality product. I will still put some dry lock lube on the springs, and put them in soon

Had a lock seize up on me, after fiddling and getting the lock unstuck, I just removed them preemptively, so it didnāt happen on the road and ruin a trip. Contacted GFC last night via the Service Request Form. @GFC_Support already reached out, and Iāll pick up the new plungers later this week. Customer service has been phenomenal with GFC, donāt know why anyone has said different!
I already checked out the plungers, my neighbor just got his camper, and they are sweet! Good work GFC!

@GFC_Support how do I go about opening the lock if itās stuck? Iāve forced water (the only thing I have) into the lock without luck.
Anyone else have ideas or how they opened their lock?
Right now I insert the key and it just spins freely all the way around.

UPDATE: I was called by Calder right away even though itās late on a Sat night to help me out. The lock couldnāt be fixed but GFC will send out replacements pins first thing Monday. Thanks for the support!

Had my V2 now for a week, love my tent, but the lock selection for the panels was a very poor decision. The are really a total POS especially on a camper that runs close to $8,000. .

I just picked up my tent yesterday. Was expecting locks. Having read this thread Iām not sad that I didnāt get them. That said Iām bummed Iām going to have to spend more money to implement your ideal solution. But thank you for sharing!
What do you mean by shaved some off the latch side? I was thinking drilling the hole to 1/4ā might be the ticket.

This still boggles my mind that they havenāt moved on from the compression latch. Having only the beta from this forum; but sure seems like the customers would really like a better solution.
I gave up on locking mine and just try to not leave things of value in the back. The 3D printed covers that @jedgar has the print files for work really well. That is of course if youāre in an area that has cold temps.
Iām still looking at T-Handle options.

@Dignon it boggles my mind that you babies continue to complain about the latches. Have you tried using Boeshield T-9 and a deicer as GFC recommended? I seriously doubt you have. I live in a freezing cold environment and routinely lock and unlock my latches. I also keep a couple grand of gear in the back of my rig. So the idea that you canāt keep yours locked is full of you know what. Sure, in the right conditions the latches may freeze up, but a deicer easily resolves that.
Just like any car forum, just because something is complained about online, doesnāt mean a majority of owners have had an issue.
@wvumtnr you have a Raptor and just bought a camper and are complaining about buying a $11 lock? As a Raptor owner myself, you sound pretty pathetic.
@anon87798461 not pathetic enough to call people names on an online forum. Lame. 
But you fit the character of a Raptor owner in an online forum. Kudos to you on upholding that low standard.

So let me get this straight, it is okay for people to rail against GFC on here, but as soon as you get called out by someone on the forum, itās an issue? Lol I am glad you snowflakes are so sensitive and believe in free speech when itās only one sided.
@Dignon I have seen your YouTube videos and you aināt that impressive of a man. Please let me know when your back in the lower 48 and I will be glad to meet. I aināt no keyboard warrior son.

Yeah that was my less technical way of saying I drilled a 1/4" hole

So back on topicā¦ the redneck inner tube cover worked 110% of the time to keep out the ice and I was never locked out this winter. The lithium grease worked 99% of the time and the other latches that were unprotected I gave up trying to open

Put on my pull knobs from GFC and they are very nice! Red loctite to the actual knob threads, blue loctite to the part that attaches to the back part. And keeping some sprayable lock dry lube in the truck to keep things moving
