door check cotter pins
I just bought some new door checks and they did not come with the pin to hold the door check to the door pillar. What kind am I supposed to look for? I want the kind that used to be in there, the one that you push upward to take out. it has a little flare in it.

Re: door check cotter pins
the little arm that sticks out of the door and holds it from opening too far. that is the door check. the arm has a hole on the end in which a cotter pin of sorts goes through it and holds it in. In my case, it came with one rusty 3 inch nail and a proper cotter pin on driver side. With my new door checks, I want to do it a bit better. Maybe I will rivet the SOB?

Re: door check cotter pins
I actually still have my old pins I think....but I would like to have new ones.....I'm not sure if I damaged one trying to drive it out the wrong way...didn't know they were tapered...

Re: door check cotter pins
I think they are called roll pins, can anyone confirm? also if it is a roll pin, does anyone know what size?

Re: door check cotter pins
It probably is a roll pin....are you sure its tapered ?
If it is in fact a RP, you can get those at the hardware store.

Re: door check cotter pins

Re: door check cotter pins
Now that I look at it, I think the roll pin is just mushroomed a bit from hammering them down.
I would just buy new roll pins, and run with it
