Once upon a time I had some of these photos up to help a friend out in changing the cylinder on his Bargman lock. They disappeared from sight after the photorobber debacle. I finally have them loaded so that I can share them here again.
I am no locksmith by any means, but have had the opportunity to handle a few of these doorhandles, and have changed a couple locks. I am fairly sure a locksmith can easily make keys for these, the blanks for the keys are available. I found the blank for the round cylinder in our local hardware store. There are some cylinders and some blanks that show up for sale on eBay occasionally.
So on to the photos. First, arm yourself, information is power.
Beware the pesky parts numbered 13 and 14, the roller ball and the spring. If you take the lockset apart, they will fall loose. The roller allows the lock lever to travel back and forth more smoothly when working the lock. The ball shows up under the lever here:
Removing the lock cylinder does not require disassembling the lockset however. I am almost certain it would not even need to be removed from the door, although most that I have dealt with have nearly fallen out of the door as soon as they are split apart.
Of course you must account for aging and corrosion built up in the parts. A good penetrating oil and an overnight soak can work wonders, like with most every other part of the camper...
There were two types of lock cylinders over the years. The older locksets were built with the cylinder that had the tab on one side. These were held in place with a spring-loaded pin.
The pin could be depressed with the key turned slightly, so replacing a cylinder for the reason of missing keys is a bit bigger challenge. Corrosion around the pin inside the small hole was common and made removal difficult also. The cam on the inside end turns and works the locking lever.
The pin locked into the face of the lockset, shown here.
The later Bargmans had a round cylinder. It is important to notice which one applies, especially since there have been a lot of these changed out for different trailers over the years.
The round cylinder was installed from the outside and locks into the housing with a spring-loaded clip, visible about half way up the cylinder.
The tab is the "cam" which works the locking lever, and needs to be removed in order to remove the cylinder. Take photos of its position for your own reference, the tab needs to be reinstalled the same way it comes off in order to function properly.
The locking clip locks against the ridge in the housing.
The clip can be depressed toward the center of the cylinder with a fine flat screwdriver blade or a dental-pick-type-tool,
then simply presses out.
The cylinder slides back in till the clip seats and reinstall the cam tab to replace.
I hope this helps.
