Door Lock in After Market Door

[dave-68]

Thought I would post where the problem was with the lock pawl lengths incase anyone else runs into this. Seems the distance from the edge of the door to the face where the door latch assembly mounts is off inward (towards the front) by ~1/4". This makes the pawl too long to catch the latch. 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.
