Bauer locks are one of the most common OEM lock systems installed on RV storage compartments, generator doors, and pass-through bays. They use a code-based key system -- each unique cut is identified by a number stamped on the lock face or in your original key.

Bauer-brand lock cylinders use a numbered code system to identify each unique key cut. The code number -- such as 959 -- is typically stamped on the face of the lock cylinder itself, or embossed on the bow (top) of your original key. When ordering a replacement, matching the code number is all that matters. The physical key blank shape is consistent across the Bauer line, so once the code is confirmed, the replacement key will operate the cylinder correctly.
If you cannot locate your code number, check the face of the lock cylinder directly. A small stamped number, usually two to four digits, identifies the bitting code. Many RV dealers and locksmiths familiar with the Bauer system can also read the code from the cylinder without disassembly.

Losing access to a storage bay or generator compartment at a campground can turn a minor inconvenience into a major problem.
