Can you get in the van? and open the door from the inside.Ace probably didn't make the lock,sometimes the lock number is on the key.
Mobile locksmith ? or locksmith's shop.
Having said that locksmiths would all would need to be mobile.
Could be a Hartel door lock,maybe you can see the manufacturer's name on the inside.

I seem to think that it was Swift that did the Ace brand. You can try contacting Swift, but I am not confident that this is going to help you much, given the age of the van. A locksmith may be your best bet with a view to a replacement door lock.
Good luck

I did have a look at one for sale on the web but I am not sure as to the key type. If it is one of the old style ones most dealers should have a stock of the door keys, and if they agree it may just be a case of taking it and trying them until you find yours. The dealer or a mobile engineer might have someone who knows how to open the window from outside, which could help.
Not sure what alarm yours has, but if you contact the manufacturer they may be able to help.

I don't understand why this forum is ignoring photos. Isn't it clear that visual perception is more accurate than description. :unsure:
The message from this topic, which I wrote yesterday, is still missing.:fearscream:

By the looks it's a Caralock 2000, so if that matches the appearance of yours...
Caraloc 2000 Replacement Door Lock Complete Right Hand Caravan Motorhome Boat 5500001002409 | eBay
or it could be a Caralock 640
Caraloc 640 Replacement Door Lock Handle c/w 2 Keys Caravan Motorhome PO392 5060070213897 | eBay
I found the 2000 lock pictured on a 2006 Nightstar which might indicate that this will match yours.
There are not too many differs in the WD*** series, although maybe 72 (!), so it might be possible for a dealer to allow you to try a variety until you hit the jackpot!
Hope this helps!
Edit to the first link for you (thanks BertieBoy)

Sorry EW. Your message of yesterday didn't make any sense as the OP has misplaced the keys and cannot take a picture of them.

I mean the lock photo.
if the lock is available, you can remove the barrel and identify the key from it. I wrote about it.
If you could help by telling how to remove the barrel that would help. The lock is in the caravan door. !!!
