Security on the doors. What are the best locking options?

Measure your door depth.  Most people simply add a deadbolt.

The dead bolt I have is good. I might be working on the latches for the under carriage.

Not a bad idea. I hope it's not the same for your newer year, but when I went to a salvage yard which had 6 or 7, 1970s Winnebagos, I took my body comparrment keys with me because I needed a couple latches.

My keys fit every lock on eveey compartment of every one of them!

That was kinda scary.

I heard that about some of the locks. Even home depot guy told me what to look for when buying house locks. Our barracks room keys open some other doors. When I was med boarded April to Aug 03 while my division was in Iraq; I tried my key and found it worked in 16 of the rooms.
