RV and ATV Keys
RV and ATV Key Cutting and Duplication in Fredericksburg, VA
RVs and ATVs don’t use the same key systems as passenger vehicles, and most hardware stores and general locksmiths aren’t equipped for them. Losing a key to your camper or your off-road vehicle isn’t the same problem as losing a car key, and the solution isn’t always the same either. FXBG Keys LLC handles RV and ATV key cutting and duplication on-site across Fredericksburg, Spotsylvania, Stafford, Culpeper, and Thornburg, Virginia.
When you call, have your year, make, and model ready along with any key code or VIN you have on hand, and we’ll confirm what we can do before heading out.
RV Keys, Entry Doors, Compartments, and Ignitions
If you’re a Fredericksburg local or RV camping in the area and you’ve lost your key or want a few copies made, we’re here to help.
Most RVs use at least two different key types, and sometimes three. Entry door keys are unique to your specific RV and are cut to a code specific to your lock. Compartment and baggage door keys are a different story. Many RVs use a standard code key like the CH751, which is shared across most recreational vehicles on the road. If your RV uses this type of key, duplicating it is straightforward. Motorhome ignition keys vary by manufacturer and model year. Most are mechanical keys that we can cut from code, though some higher-end motorhomes use transponder systems that require programming as well as cutting.
The key code for your entry door or compartment locks is usually stamped on the face of the lock cylinder itself, on the original key, or in documentation that came with the vehicle. If the code isn’t available, we can work from the lock cylinder directly. Call us with your RV’s year, make, and model, and we’ll confirm the right approach for your specific setup.
ATV Keys, What We Need and What to Expect
Our locksmiths have the expertise and specialized equipment to cut keys and repair transmissions on a wide range of ATV makes and models.
Most ATVs, including Polaris models like the Sportsman and XP 1000, use standard mechanical keys that can be cut from a code stamped on the original key or on the ignition switch itself. Here’s what to check before you call:
- Look for a code stamped on the original key or on the small tag that came with it
- Check the ignition switch itself, as the code is sometimes stamped directly on the cylinder
- Know your year, make, and model so we can confirm the correct blank for your bike
- Your VIN is also useful for identifying the right key profile if you have it handy
One important note: if all keys to an ATV are lost and there’s no readable code on the ignition switch, replacing the switch may be the only way to get the vehicle running again. Per Polaris’ own documentation, this applies to certain models when no working key or code exists. We’ll sort this out with you over the phone rather than make a trip to discover it when we arrive. Our ignition repair service includes switch replacement if that’s what the job requires.
Get a Spare Before You Need One
The case for getting a spare key made is straightforward for any vehicle, but it’s especially true for recreational ones. ATVs often get used in remote locations where a lost key means a long walk or an expensive retrieval. RV owners who lose their entry key while traveling can find themselves locked out of their living space far from home with limited options. Cutting a spare while a working key exists is a quick job. Replacing a lost key without the original takes longer, may involve working from the cylinder, and sometimes isn’t possible without additional parts.
If you have a working key for your RV or ATV and you haven’t made a spare, that’s the easiest call we can take. We’ll come to your location and have a duplicate cut before you need it. Our broader automotive locksmith coverage means we’re equipped for a wide range of vehicle types across the Fredericksburg area, from passenger cars to off-road and recreational vehicles.

ATV and RV Key Replacement FAQs
Can you make an RV key without the original?
Yes, in most cases. Entry door keys and compartment keys can often be cut from a code stamped on the lock cylinder. If the code isn’t available, we can work directly from the lock to produce a matching key. Call us with your RV’s year, make, and model and we’ll confirm what’s possible before we head out.
What is the CH751 key and do I have one?
The CH751 is a standard compartment key used across a large number of RVs and campers. If your storage bays and compartment doors use this key, it’s one of the most common keys in existence and straightforward to duplicate. Check your key or the lock face for a code like CH751 or 751CH. If you see it, getting a spare is a quick job.
Can you cut an ATV key if I've lost both keys?
It depends on whether a readable key code is available. If the code is stamped on the ignition switch or we can identify it another way, we can cut a replacement. If no code is available and the switch can’t be decoded, the ignition switch itself may need to be replaced. We’ll tell you which situation you’re in before any work begins.
Do ATV keys need to be programmed like car keys?
Most ATVs use standard mechanical keys that only need cutting, not programming. Some newer and higher-end models have moved to transponder or electronic systems. When you call with your year, make, and model, we’ll confirm whether your ATV uses a system that requires programming in addition to cutting.
What information do I need to have ready when I call?
Have your year, make, and model ready for any RV or ATV key job. If you have a key code, stamped on the original key, the lock face, or the ignition switch, have that handy too. A VIN is also useful. The more of this information you have available, the faster we can confirm coverage and get to you prepared.
