Carefree of ColoradoOver the Door (OTD) Manual AwningsMade in USACarefree of Colorado 901045 Sliding Arm Locks -- OTD Manual Awnings, Set of 2

Keep your Carefree over-the-door manual awning arms locked flat against your RV sidewall every time you hit the road. The 901045 sliding arm lock set gives you a fast, secure way to pin both arms in the travel position -- no bungees, no jury-rigged straps, no forgotten steps that can cost you an awning at highway speed.

Replacement Arm Locks Built for Carefree OTD Awnings

The Carefree 901045 is the factory-correct replacement for the sliding arm locks used on Carefree of Colorado over-the-door (OTD) manual awning systems. If your original locks are cracked, missing, or no longer gripping reliably, this two-piece set restores the same secure travel position you had when the rig was new.

Each lock slides onto the awning arm rafter and engages a catch that holds the arm tight to the RV wall. Setup at camp is equally quick -- slide the lock to disengage, deploy the awning, and you are done. All mounting hardware is included so you are not making a parts run before the weekend trip.

Secure Travel Position

Slides and locks onto the awning arm rafter, holding it flush against the RV sidewall to prevent road vibration from working the arm loose.

Quick Engagement and Release

Single sliding motion locks or releases each arm -- no tools required at the campsite or in the driveway.

Hardware Included

Kit contains both arm locks and the mounting hardware needed for a complete installation with no additional parts required.

Made in USA

Manufactured by Carefree of Colorado to OEM tolerances, ensuring correct fit on Carefree OTD awning systems.

What Fits and What Does Not

These arm locks are designed specifically for Carefree of Colorado over-the-door (OTD) manual awning systems. If you have a Carefree OTD awning and the arm locks are broken, missing, or no longer holding, part number 901045 is the correct OEM replacement.

OEM Correct Replacement: Part 901045 ships directly from Carefree of Colorado and matches the original lock design on OTD manual awning arms -- no modification needed.
Not Universal: These locks are engineered for Carefree OTD awnings only. They are not compatible with Carefree roller/bag-style awnings, slide-out awnings, or awning products from other brands such as Dometic/A&E, Lippert, or Solera. Check your awning model before ordering.

Why Arm Locks Matter for Travel Safety

An unsecured awning arm can vibrate outward at highway speeds, catch wind, and pull the entire awning fabric and roller assembly off the mounting brackets -- a repair that costs far more than a set of arm locks. Even RVers who drive short distances benefit from a reliable lock, because parking lot speeds and wind from passing semis are enough to stress an unlocked arm.

Travel Checklist Tip: Make arm lock engagement a mandatory pre-departure step, right alongside slide-in, jacks-up, and mirrors-adjusted. Both locks should be confirmed secure before moving the rig.
Maintenance Note: Inspect the lock body and sliding mechanism each season for UV cracking, which is common on black plastic components exposed to direct sun. A stuck or brittle lock that looks engaged may not be providing a reliable hold -- replace both locks if either shows cracks or fails to slide smoothly.
