Re: Door Lock in After Market Door

The hole in the door was in the correct spot relative to the edge of the door. I know all this because i had my original doors to compare everything to. Bottom line is I had to modify the pawl to shorten it. I hate aftermarket.

Thanks for everyones help.

Wow! I've never heard of that one before. That would definitely be a nightmare for some people to try and figure out. Glad you got it fixed.
