Knaus Sun TI Habitation Door Lock Broken Spring.

[Palough]

3 springs have now broken, but I've managed to remake 2 of them.

The one in the photo has broken while touring Africa and over the past 7 months I managed to lose the pieces!

I've emailed Knaus twice for assistance with no reply.

My local motorhome repair shop there's no alternative but to buy a complete new door lock at €295

Does any one out there know where I can buy a replacement spring?

Any help would be much appreciated

I had a similar problem a few years ago . I emailed Knaus and it took a couple of weeks to reply but they eventually did and sent me 2 replacement springs. Didn't want to cock it up so took the unit to a local locksmith who fitted the springs and checked it for a fiver.

There is a guy called Matthew Cushing who makes MoHo door springs to order.
He seems to have the pattern for most of the Hymer range, but a lot of the companies (including Hymer) use locks made by Hartel
So worth contacting him and asking
