@Verna, when locking the Tab, does the V4.0 keypad require you to enter a code to throw the deadbolt (if not using a key or keyfob), or can you simply press the 'lock' button to throw the deadbolt?

I am sooooo getting one of these. Even though I have a "1 key" system where I don't have that infamous CH751 key that everyone else has (and experienced RV-campers have changed out for storage areas).

You don't need to enter a code to lock it. Just press and hold the lock button for a couple seconds, then it will lock. Also, the code can be 5 digits (mine is) I think 4 digit is the minimum.
LOL-I am OCD, fobs will not work for me I have to pull the handle at least twice to be sure it is locked! Hahaha, actually I am a Criminal Justice major from SLU. I am always super vigilante and do not leave much to chance, I have to have keys! But-TEHO.
FYI, I just got off the phone with RVLock. They are having a black Friday special on the V4, 40% off starting midnight. $240 dropped down to $144.
Just confirmed this with RVLock. Nov. 24 from midnight to noon. Webcode: BLCKFRDAY17. They say they have lots of inventory. They do ship to Canada for an extra $20+.

@seajeeper, you are correct in that you only have to hold the lock button down to lock—Thanks!

After reading all the comments here and the reviews on the RVLock website about the v4 version, I'm still not certain about this.............does it remotely lock and unlock both the upper and lower locks on the T@B?
Thanks Verna........one more question............for those of us who may not want to carry a key fob, can the door be locked with just the number pad when leaving the trailer?

Thanks for posting this. I got a new latch today using this discount code.

Ordered mine today. Thanks for the heads up. I have been leaving my Tabby unlocked in the driveway as my emergency plan in case of earthquake etc. Now i'll be able to lock her and not worry about finding the key in an emergency. Also wont have to worry about carrying and possibly losing a key while we're beach camping.
I ordered the standard lock with two keys so that not just anybody with that style lock can open our Tab.

dsatwork - assuming you now have a 900 series lock, you are correct.
doesn't say what series it is, just list it as a mechanical lock.

I saw the 25% discount on the 4.0 through Monday, 11/27 tonight and was about to order until I saw that the RV Lock website, from which I was ordering, states there is just one key fob. I believe Verna's original post back in Sept. said there were two fobs (which is what we need). Anyone have any info re the number of fobs they got or are getting with the 4.0, either during one of these holiday sales or at full price? I plan to call the company tomorrow to find out whether it's one or two with this 25% discount, and what an additional fob costs if it's only one.

@gbhaney I purchased mine back in July when they had a special sale that came with two key fobs. Otherwise, it's my understanding that each lock only comes with one remote key fob. Although you can buy extras (I think the normal price is $39 each, but check the website). Extra fobs are really easy to program and add, and you can add one to work with your lock at any time.
They seem to change up their specials from time to time, and a second free fob is one of them. Probably six of one, half dozen of the other if a greater discount vs free extra fob is better!

@gbhaney, my 2nd key fob was part of the special that was going on at the time. As @HR_Taly said, it depends on the special price the company has when you buy.

Thanks, all. Someone at RV Lock confirmed that specials differ and the current one (ending tonight HOLIDAY25) includes one fob, with 25% discount off entire purchase. Ordered the V4.0 $239.99 and an additional fob at $39.99. Total came to $209 with the 25% discount. Looking forward to the security and convenience this should offer.

Or you can press one button (either lock or unlock) on the key fob.
Or you can use the key, which is a much better key than with the original lock.

They replied:
That's excellent news. It also shows they're on top of being up-to-date. I guess I'll be up until midnight on Thanksgiving, with my finger on 'Send'!
@Verna, the downloaded PDF instructions I found showed a max of 8 digits for the code.

oops. Looks like you were posting, while I was typing. Glad someone at RV Lock got back to you.
