Door Lock

[hayden412]

Havin a problem wit the drivrz side inside door lock...it break so I can't unlock the door from the inside unless i switch the car off (alarm unlocks door). Got another one from a scrap yard..but that broke too. Suggestions ??? anywhere makin this out of somthing stronger than plastic.
This is a 92-95 2 door !

Get another lock assembly and take out the alarm actuator. Or put a switch on to the actuator to lock and unlock the door.

All the 2 doors have this problem.

aye hayden412 yuh didn't see meh thread bout this lower down or wha . First whey yuh get tha part to buy back this is a eg or ek model?

Anyhow mine broke too and i still catching meh arse to find ah replacement, but it's been awhile since i tried the plastic weld in the 2 tubes thingy and it holding damn well, leh it break again i'll take it down and use the weld again

EG 4 model. Dis is de plan....ah use a solderin iron to "plastic weld" the pieces back together. Then ah cut piece of a paper clip and lay it across the break. Then heat up the paper clip with soldering iron and let it get hot to the point where it will start to sink into the plastic...thus creating a metal reinforcement. It probably won't work but say wha !! worth a try.
Goin to try it out now.....will keep you guys posted

[drop ho]

If you have the two pieces epoxy them together with the paper clip. Mine wukkin so years now.

What does the paper clip do?? like re-enforcements??

[crazybalhead]

Yep. I used a small nail though. Yuh have to be creative with them kinda problems

[hayden412]

So far so good with the paper clip....the only problem is it's a bit sluggish...meaning that when the alarm is disarmed and the door lock on the drivers side opens, the passenger side doesn't always open at the same time...you have to actually hold the drivers side lock and jiggle it and then the LH door lock opens. It works well when manually locking the doors from the inside though. I'll probably have to adjust the mechanism leading to the actuator....Any suggestions ?
Somebody should come up with a mold and make these thing out of aluminum or something...from the looks of it they would have quite a few sales !!!
L8trz...will keep you all posted
