I have four exterior doors on my bus that are secured with a lock that gets turned 1/8 to 1/4 turn to trip the latch. I need two replacement locks since one is totally siezed and no lube has helped to free it up. The other lock has been missing since I bought the bus. My first option is to find some off a junked Dina, but I'm not hopeful.
MCI wants $98 for a replacement lock plus another $12 for the key. This seems awful steep for a simple lock. Has anyone seen a lock like this anywhere? There are four slots around the hole to keep the lock from rotating. I tried a large locksmith and they had no ideas.
The brand name on the lock is "Foriner", but I can't find any information on this manufacturer. There is a part number, but I can't make it out 100%. Thanks for any help on this.
Try hafeleonline.com. If they don't have a source, it doesn't exist. Search for cam lock. I go a catalog from them we use like a reference book.

Spaenaur part number 096-036 is very close.

I wonder where one could buy one of these? I could try to get a free sample I suppose. My suspicion is that it would spin in the hole since my hole is round.
I'm tempted to order one lock from MCI and then see if I can figure out who makes it to see if I could get it for less somewhere.
