Storage door lock

When at our storage Facility yesterday, I found the lock to the fuel storage bay door missing. (not the little door). No sign of fuel taken but with a full 100 gallon tank I might not detect 5-10 gallons missing. I was able to lock the door with a scew driver but so could someone unlock it. I would like a replacement with the same key as all the other doors if possible. I could not locate a part number. All suggestions welcome. This is a 2010 Diplomat 42 SKQ

Look carefully into your filler neck and see if there is any evidence of something being put in it. Might need to get a fuel sample and have it checked just to be safe. Probably just someone wanted the locking mechanism but that fact that they chose the fuel door would make most of us suspicious.

Take as much as you can (Photographs with a ruler laying under the hole will help) including the original key to a locksmith.

You can order the original lock components from teh manufacturer but you would do better to find out who made the lock (The key will tell a locksmith that) the type (model) of lock and then go to a locksmith.

Odds are good the smith can "KEY" the lock to match what is on your ring.

Motion senistive cameras hidden in the storage area will not stop the next attempt.. but they may well stop the one after that.
