Door repairs

[Ryan Wright]

Hi Leroy,

It's just a regular old deadbolt lock with an electric solenoid
attached to it. There is a normal deadbolt knob on the inside that
works perfectly if the electrics have failed. So when I need to exit
the coach, I can just turn the deadbolt by hand - which is exactly
what I'm doing now, because the electrics of mine aren't working
right.

All I want to do is add a remote entry trigger to the same deadbolt,
so I can lock and unlock it from outside the bus without using the
key. This doesn't change anything in terms of exit safety; the
original deadbolt is still there, along with it's manual knob.

Appreciate the replies. I'll go check out that door seal from Lowe's,
and will see if I can't take the door apart and trace out the wiring
on the lock. Thanks everyone.
