Main Patio RV Awning Lock

View Product Instructions & Pictures

The Awning Lock will prevent both the canopy from unrolling and the arms from coming open as you travel down the road.

The #1 cause of insurance claims on RV's is awning damage. This is caused by the failure of the awning roller tube locking mechanism. Often this is due to vibration, wind or operator error. According to FMCA, wind will always win out over the friction lock that awnings employ.

The lock is comprised of two parts, the Lock Assembly and the Roller Tube Stop. The enclosed template is to be used for accurate placement of the lock There are bolt holes pre-tapped into the back of the lock. The lock is bolted near the top of the awning arm. The Roller Tube Stop screws into the roller tube assembly.

The machine tooled lock assembly has a pin going thru the middle. The pin has a groove cut into it. The lock assembly has a spring loaded plunger inside that slips into the groove when the pin is pushed in, preventing the pin from coming open when travelling down the road. To open and close the lock, you simply tap the pin with your awning wand. This superior made Awning Lock is simple to install and simple to use. Using an awning lock will give you added peace of mind as you travel safely down the road.

The package comes complete with full instructions and all parts including two drill bits, a metal center punch, screws and the necessary parts to install the Awning Lock.

You open and close the lock using your awning wand. There is a groove in the rod and a spring loaded plunger in the metal block. When the lock is closed the plunger drops into the groove preventing the lock from opening while you are traveling down the road. Only one lock is required for an awning and will eliminate the need for Velcro straps or ball bungies to secure the awning.

The lock fits Carefree & A&E awnings, with the exception of the A&E 2 Step.
