Hi Dutchie01 &

We're glad you found us!

I don't know of any way of making the deadbolt operate with a keypad. It is strictly mechanical, and of course the keyless entry is electrical.

So, to make that work you would need a power supply & a motor (and place to put it inside the door). I've had my door apart & there really isn't much room left over in there.

PS - consider making up a signature block like some of those you see in the forums so that we know what your coach, tow etc is. Saves time & questions.

Welcome aboard!

There are lots of battery-operated deadbolts for residential installations. The deadbolt in our coach appears to be a standard one so I assume one of these can be made to work:
