Thread: Perentie door locks , handles, strikers.

They will shut on the worn one on the car but not the new one.
Is this normal and will they work with a good slam? or are there different ones that are oversize to replace worn components one at a time.

That seems strange Keith, can you post up some pictures of them. As far as I know the pins are all the same size.

Here are some pics Brian. Seems a bit of difference.
The new ones dont touch the two sides yet, the rubber bumper one and the opposite one as the pin wont go far enough up the fork. I may just relieve it a bit with the Dremmel.
