I own an ABI Jubilee Supreme and I am searching for a new/second hand set of locks for the doors on the front gas cupboards. ABI no longer manufacture mobile caravans so I have drawn a blank, for where to find replacements, for the last year.

Does anyone know where I can find replacements?

Many thanks for looking at the message.

Do you mean the big locker at the front of the van?   Would have thought that these locks were all of a fairly standard type.  Have a look at some currently manufactured vans to see if you can find one that uses the same locks.  Presume you have tried dealers/accessory shops?   How old is your van?  If an older one then maybe a caravan breaker could help.

Jennifernn,

Been down the road of new locks and they have a different "footprint" therefore are unsuitable, van is about 8 years old and ABI no longer make tourers! Where can I find a caravan breaks?

Hi wrekin     What happened to the original locks?   Is there no possibility of just fitting new barrels?

The place you need for gas locker doors wheel spats and a lot lot more is V&G Caravans 01733 350580

PS No one bought the ABI name but ABI sold the names of their range of tourers to Swift and concentrated on making Static vans. Since a management buy out there is talk of ABI making tourers again...I wonder what they will be called??
