I'm not sure if anyone can help here ..i have recently bought a 1998 compass omega 490/5 but the key for the casette toilet and then battery compartment is missing...The door key is different as i have been told that key should fit all round..obviously at some point the lock to that has been changed.

I am told all i need is the key number and i can go and buy one..I am therefore wandering whether if anyone has an omega compass caravan whether they have a number for the key for these compartments so i could maybe go and try one at a caravan shop....same year i think would be handy...I'm not sure if they will all be the same number for the same model..

can anyone shed any light on this for me please...

without a key number you may not be able to copy or find one IE. WD 888,only cost about £3. you can get them cut i had two done.

Thetford make these type of doors for the toilet cassette, battery compartment door and outside lockers. They are called service doors and each have a different number as there are different types. I have provided a link for you and if you click on the 2 PDF files you can identify which Number service doors you have ie. service door 2 or 3 etc. If you don't have any joy in obtaining a key then you might have to change the barrels accordingly with key supplied. This doesn't solve your problem but at least you could contact the company to see if they supply the locks or keys you need. Good luck and hope you have some success.

Update - had text off my mum and she says she will get me the key number - she did get told that if she lost the keys she would have to replace the lot

When I lost my caravan keys I managed to get new ones off the internet - its just finding if they do replacements that will match yours.

Hope this helps

I think I'd be a bit worried if too many other peoples keys all fitted my van! 

I think you will find that the only way to replace them is to find the number on your own locks.  I dismantled a door lock once when the key broke and the number was inside the lock.  The only thing is that the door was open so it was easy to do. Would it be worth contacting the seller in case there were other keys you weren't given?

Hope you manage to get it sorted.

If it's any help got a key number of VD198

But if not - at least I tried to help!

Michael does that WD 888 - fit anything

no just a number i made up 888,sounds like lock and barrel replacement is the way to go.if you can take out the barrel the number may be on there.example below
