   Sorry for the late response!  
I went directly to the Global website.  Give them your key # and measure how long the shank needs to be.  I don't have that info with me, but it was very easy.  You can measure the shank length of the existing lock. 
The link is below.
Thanks

	Nice Mods. Where did you get the lock for the storage door?

	Love the mods! Miss the WRV! I like that you posted some pics with the cover on. I think we have the same one but did yours go on VERY tight at first? I posted on another thread but here's the pic of us trying to put it on tonight...

	Wow, Smitty ! That's almost "roof-shoveling" levels of snow! I remember it well in the Wood River Valley. One winter particularly stands out in the Valley.... 1992-93, (as well as at least through about 1998). That first year, I was constantly up on the roof in my ski overalls trying to keep the layered snow loads down, so as not to stress out the roof trusses. To tired to go up to River Run to ski. THEN all the snow that I pushed and tried to throw off the roof blocked patios, blocked doors, so it had to be re-shoveled again, in a slightly more compacted condition, as it had dropped from the roof level. In 93, I had to make a slot in front of my younger son's bedroom window so he could see out. (I have archive photos on my laptop of those days.) Back then, we had to keep the snow off of the flat roof of our vintage 1964 Apache tent trailer (with the Chevy Impala style rear tail lights). We bought that early camper in Boise for less than $1000 and finished restoring it in time for the first of our Oregon coast family vacations. (We towed it with a 94 Toyota SR5 Extra Cab back in the day.) The snow really helps out the Valley economically, and the Wood River will be running strong this spring, I bet....hopefully not TOO strong all at once. One spring flood year, 5B'rs used to joke about "picking out furniture at the Bellevue bridge!" Thankfully, it won't get that bad, but in the mid-valley back then, a lot of people lost portions of their yards to the 'river wild.' NICE JOB keeping the Pod out of "snow jail" so that you can get it out for the Canyonlands of Utah (or?) in spring. Bet you've gotten in shape, and soaked a few boots on that project! Thanks for sending, loved your post, sure others did too. Brad Western NC 179 HRE

	Sorry, issue with pics. New update is creating issues. Can't upload from Goggle Photos. I'll work on it. Thanks

	Idaho has had above average snow this year. Great for the aquifer...bad for trailer management. So, I know Spring Break is more than six weeks away, but if I didn't work on getting out the pod now, I was worried I wouldn't be able to come March. I only wish I would have taken some before pics. Last weekend I had to dig out the pod. After two months of clearing snow off the roof, there was about 5-6 feet of snow on the drivers/slide side. I couldn't get in that side with the snow blower, so I had to move most by hand and then blow. I was sore! Then this weekend I had to increase the width of the side driveway by about 4 feet. Need enough room to get the double gates open and have the drive be wide enough for the pod and the TV to be able to maneuver. See the last pic look at the pod from the backyard. You can see how deep the snow is. Well, now if we have more snow, I should be able to keep up on the removal and ensure an easy pull out of the side yard. Zions NP for Spring Break! Can't wait. For those of you in warmer climates, enjoy the pics. Thanks Smitty

	Brad, Had to order the clevis pins from amazon. As you know our hardware opportunities are limited here in the WRV. 3-inch long by 3/8 diameter. The original bolt is metric and the 3/8's is the slightly smaller SAE equivalent. You can find at Home Depot. Saw Willie Cook and Jerry Seifert the other day and thought of you. Thanks for the compliments. The screws in the walls were scary but easy, and the items hold well. Everything I've learned I've learned on this forum. Thanks and Happy Holidays. Jeff
