Camco Keyed Security 5/8" Cylinder Camco 44340 Key-Operated Offset Cam Lock -- RV Baggage Compartment Door Lock

A true keyed lock for your RV storage compartments. The Camco 44340 replaces thumb-turn cam locks with a key-operated cylinder that actually secures your gear -- no key, no entry. Ships with an offset cam, a straight cam, and two keys.

Real Security for RV Storage Compartments

The Camco 44340 is the keyed step-up from Camco's non-locking thumb-turn cam lock (44333). If you store tools, generator fuel, leveling blocks, or valuables in your basement or mid-ship compartments, a thumb-turn offers convenience -- not security. The 44340 changes that with a keyed cylinder that requires a physical key to rotate the cam and release the door.

Installation is a direct swap in any door already prepped for a standard 3/4" round cam lock hole. The 5/8" cylinder length suits standard panel thicknesses common on travel trailers, fifth wheels, Class A and Class C motorhomes, and cargo trailers. Two keys are included so you have a backup from day one.

Keyed Cylinder

Requires a physical key to operate -- no thumb-turn bypass. Genuine deterrent for opportunistic theft at campgrounds and storage lots.

Two Cams Included

Ships with one offset cam and one straight cam so you can match the geometry of virtually any baggage door frame catch, latch bar, or strike plate.

Standard 3/4" Hole

Mounts in any 3/4" round panel cutout -- the industry-standard size for RV baggage door cam locks. No enlarging or special tooling needed in most cases.

Two Keys Included

Both keys ship in the box. Keep one in your tow vehicle or cab and one on your main keyring -- losing your only key to a basement compartment is a bad day on the road.

Drop-In Replacement for Camco 44333

The 44340 uses the same 3/4" mounting hole and 5/8" cylinder length as the non-locking Camco 44333 thumb-turn cam lock. If you are upgrading from a thumb-turn to a keyed lock, this is the direct replacement -- no drilling, no panel modification required in standard applications.

Cam Selection: Offset vs. Straight

The included offset cam has a bend that allows it to reach catches positioned slightly above or below the cylinder centerline -- common on OEM RV door frames. The straight cam works where the strike plate or latch bar aligns directly with the cylinder. Test-fit before final installation to confirm which cam seats flush and rotates freely without binding.

Not a Master-Keyed System

Each Camco 44340 lock ships with its own unique key. Multiple 44340 units installed on the same RV will NOT share a key unless you specifically purchase a keyed-alike set. If you want all your compartments on one key, look for Camco's keyed-alike cam lock sets or confirm key codes match before ordering multiple units.

Common RV Applications

  • Travel trailer and fifth wheel basement storage compartments
  • Class A and Class C motorhome mid-ship and rear baggage bays
  • Cargo trailer and toy hauler side door locks
  • Replacement for worn, broken, or thumb-turn cam locks on any 3/4" panel cutout
  • Utility compartment doors on horse trailers and enclosed trailers

Installation Tips

  • Confirm panel thickness before ordering -- 5/8" cylinder length suits panels up to approximately 1/2" thick with room for the retaining nut.
  • Use the included retaining nut or clip to secure the cylinder from inside the panel. Do not overtighten -- cam locks are zinc or aluminum bodied and threads strip easily.
  • Rotate the cylinder to the locked position before inserting through the panel so the cam clears the opening during installation.
  • Lubricate the cam pivot point annually with a light spray lubricant to prevent binding in damp climates.

Important Information

  • The 44340 is NOT a keyed-alike unit. Multiple locks on the same RV will have different keys unless purchased as a matched set.
  • Verify your panel thickness before installation. A 5/8" cylinder length suits panels up to approximately 1/2" thick. Thicker panels require a longer cylinder.
  • The mounting hole must be 3/4" in diameter. Panels with smaller holes require enlarging; panels with oversized holes may need a bezel or escutcheon plate not included in this kit.
  • This lock provides a deterrent-level security for storage compartments -- it is not a high-security deadbolt. It will resist casual access and opportunistic theft but is not intended as a primary security system for high-value items.
  • Do not overtighten the retaining nut -- cam lock bodies are typically zinc alloy and threads can strip if over-torqued.
  • Store backup keys off the vehicle (e.g., at home or in a combination lockbox) in case keys are lost while traveling.
