Fitting Central locking
Ok so no one told me you couldn't fit it to lift up handle doors! Well they do but it takes a bit of head scratching a few plasters (for your fingers) and some time. If you have no common sense don't start!
Step1: Remove the door trim to reveal the internal workings of the door, Then offer up the bits like it says in the instructions fit the control rods brackets and wire it up.......yeah right!!!! After you've tried everything even spacing the inner panel so it's further forward. You swear alot and think about giving up and burning the kit.
Step 2: Have a drink and sit down come back later. Step 3: Throw away the instructions. Step 4: Drill a hole in the plate as close to the the original push/pull door locker so as to give you a good amount of material left around so it's not going to snap off after a couple of goes.
Step 5: Offer up the actuator and the bracket until you get it in such a place that the door trim will go back on.
Step 6: Oh this is quite simple oh hang on I forgot the window has to go up and down!!! Step 7: Put two bends in the bracket still leaving room for the window to go up and down.
Step 8: Offer up the control rod, it will be too long and will need trimming. Leave enough room so you can have a bend in it to go through the hole in the mechanism Step 9: Thread your redesigned control rod through the actuator and then through the opening mechanism.
Step 10: It should now look something like this!
Step 11: Because you have four actuators you have four brackets and I only have 3 doors, one of them is up for snipping. Step 12: With the brackets together I pop riveted it together to leave it flush as bolts wouldn't work with the door trim Step13: fit a grommet in the door for the wring to go through and then a grommet where it comes through the body. Step 14: Go and do the other door. Step15: Fit the door case and trim back on the door. |
