Locked Out/Twice/Still Locked Out

[jello_jeep]

Bruce, FWIW I have #417, and the keyfob driven locking mechanism has nothing to do with the air lock. It engages the deadbolt.

Nice touch on the waterboarding

Ok JJ, then if you were locked out of your bus with the Air Lock on, how would you regain entry if you had keys to all doors and bays???

Bruce.....

LISTEN UP! The air lock on just about every single coach I have ever heard of is disabled as has been described in this thread.

There is not a key in the world that will open the door if the air lock is engaged.

If the dead bolt is engaged messing with the air lock will not unlock the door. Two separate locking systems that you are making sound like they are somehow combined or intermixed on your coach. If they are mixed together you have a unique problem that is totally alien to anything ever previously discussed. You need to sort out exactly what you have.

That is what it does on mine.
I never tried them separately, but I posted the question here at one point,...
If I am in the coach and I drop dead in the bus with the air lock on, does my wife call an ambulance or does she call a wrecker to rip the door off the bus.
The answer was to shut off the 12/24 switches.
So I had her go in the coach and lock the air switch.
I then tried to open the door to be sure it was locked, it was.
Then I went back shut off the 2 switches and the air lock released by the time I walked the 40 ft back to the door and was able to open it normally.
thats my story.

Hi Ed,

If I die in my coach, my wife will have the wrecker truck take the coach directly to the grave yard and have both of us buried without a stop at the funeral home.

I plan to try your test 12/24 again today, with the window open a crack as I will be alone on this test. Let you know how it turns out. I probably will forget the window part.

Sorry Denny, Pam is always trying to save $. I will have her take the bus to your home, but she will expect the POG discount. Just tell her the whole things on you, she never know that you kept the bus.

LOL, hell, I am not even clear on how I could get locked out of mine with an air lock, I don't travel with critters, and my arms are not that long

Try this on for size Warren.

You fire up your bus after it has been sitting for a while and you have no air pressure. Unknown to you somehow your air lock button is pushed in.
After starting you go back out and close the door behind you to do whatever and when the bus gets sufficiant air the darn thing locks.

Gremlins......... they are everywhere.
