If you want to convert your Bus to a RV lock you need to be aware that
Buses have a
2" door thickness,
No 1.5" standard RV Lock
is designed for this 2" thickness...
Most Commercial Buses
come with a Dead bolt
or an
Air Operated Door & Lock .
As good and strong as it is,...
It's still not as convenient as a RV styled Paddle handle lock mounted in your Door .

A standard 1.5" RV lock will not work without modification.
Most buses have 2"+ doors and you will have to use the
recess door panel as

Always make sure you use the stronger double latch pin model as shown
You must have the recess panel in order for the RV locks to
work with a standard bus entrance door.

Note the
thickness of a Bus door is 2",
Below is how we install locks on some of the buses we
work on..
But keep in mind, we also have a full fabrication shop too..
You do not have to go to all this trouble ..But you will need the skill to
install this type of lock in a heavy stainless steel door
A standard 1.5" RV lock will not work without
the recess panel modification .

On Some Bus applications we found it easier to cut out and install our precut stainless flat
end piece with holes

After we do all the welding.
We grind, sand and polish the end piece and it looks brand new ..
Note!
The stabilized pins beside the door throw..
This is the more safe of RV door Lock styles..
 
Rubber sealant will be trimmed when cured

Bi-fold Door Locks
Not the same as an RV lock
Most buses that pick up passengers on sidewalks will usually use the split
door system or commonly called Bifold doors.
These doors will open up sideways so as not to hit someone when the driver is
coming in for his full stop.
Below are two Bifold doors installed on a MCI 9 Passenger Bus
 
One keyed dead bolt lock on one side is all it needs
 
Inside slide handle, showing dead bolt
