These are used on the pods.  Note they say even if your key code isn't on the list, if you can still remove the key in the 9 o'clock position it will be replaced.

Thanks for the information. My key number is not on the list, so I will check the locking in the morning. Things like this make this group valuable.

I had to drill mine out.  My key got stuck in it and due to trying and trying to unlock it the key broke off inside.  So I just use the regular door lock.

Thanks, Doug.  I filled out the online survey and was then directed to telephone the company.  It will take 7 to10 business days to receive the cylinders and keys.  This is a DIY removal and replacement.

Thanks, Doug!

Yup - mine's on the recall list.  I wonder if they'll help out a Canadian.

I did have a problem with the deadbolt a couple years ago.  With a lot of jiggling, I was able to get the door open; I took the lock apart and reassembled it and its been fine since.

 At least my daughters will realize I wasn't nuts when I got locked inside My-pod!  We were at an overnight at one of my daughters; they were all down by the campfire. Could not get door unlocked from the inside. No one could hear me yelling. Used cell phone to call and get someone to come up and unlock door from outside to let me out. My lock is one that is listed as recalled.

Fortunately, my key number was not listed, and it also passed the "9 o'clock test".

Very appreciate the heads up, though.  If I leave the campsite for any reason and Joyce and the pups are
inside the 'Pod, I am asked to lock the door until my return, and I would hate to think that my loved ones
might be trapped inside.
