We have an MSA fridge drop slide which, while expensive has been an excellent product and worth the money.
It has been in use for
well over 2 years and supported our fridge over some seriously rough and corrugated roads.
Recently the locking tongue behind the key lock broke so I rang about purchasing a spare part.
Not a problem they say, and by the way, be sure to actually key lock the tab whilst in transit (something we've never done which I admitted).
No worries they say, we'll send you another complete lock mechanism gratis. It duly arrived within 24 hours, but I can't for the life of me locate the original key.
Another phone call and they're happily posting off another key (all their locks are keyed alike).
It's refreshing to receive such excellent service and worth sharing with our community.

Rosco,
Bit OT, but this talk of locks, missing keys and secured beer, got me thinking.
Just checked the keys to 2 items I have, one bought in the Isa in 2003, and the other bought on the coast, in 2013. Both items are keyed alike, CH510, so one wonders just how secure are some these "locked" accessories we have on our vehicles?
Might have to padlock the fridge in future? :-)
Bob

Frankly I never saw the point of the lock on the drop slide unless it's necessary to stop the mechanism and sliders from work loose under travel (which I suspect it is..). In which case a non keyed latch lock would have done the same thing.
Security is a moot point on these things as it's either inside a canopy or car and won't stop your fridge being nicked anyhow...
