Broken key
I have just managed to break my ‘Thetford’ key which unlocks both the loo cassette door and the gas locker door on my 2010 Duetto.
Does anyone know if Thetford or Autosleeper supply such keys? Fortunately I do have a spare so will try to get another cut but just in case.....
I stupidly left the key in the gas locker lock and then opened the sliding door!!!!
Any advice greatfully received.

Re: Broken key
Probably a Zadi lock/key? Does it look like this? Should be a number on it 9***
Contact these to see if they have your number, or replace with new lock. [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Re: Broken key
Probably cheaper to get one cut at Timpsons. AS have a minimum charge of £5 + postage.

Re: Broken key
Many thanks for the quick replies. I suspect it is a Zadi lock/key as it looks very similar although it says Thetford on the rubber top. Will try Timpsons first for cost and convenience!
Thank you for help yet again.

Re: Broken key
Slightly off topic, but the design of the Kingham makes me giggle - you can lock the toilet cassette door which is inside the vehicle behind the back doors Over-designed I think! Or maybe over-cautious!

Re: Broken key
Same on my Stanway too
And even if it was accessible from the outside, who would want to nick a box of liquid poop

Re: Broken key
That must be the 'key' to a 'crap' design.

Re: Broken key
At handover for our WXL a few weeks ago the dealer said always to make sure the access door for Thetford cassette is locked as there re instances of the caps from the drain nozzle being stolen. Presumably when the original has found its way down the chemical waste point during emptying!

Yes, that's one mistake you only make once!
Cap now placed down on the floor well away from any drain access.

Re: Broken key
I am convinced that, either, toilet emptying stations use the cap diameter + , say, 5mm as a design requirement, or they are all measured and the caps are designed to be 5mm under!!
