bought a 68 burb with rear barn doors and want to replace all the locks,but the rear door lock is missing.
is the rear door the same as a front door ?
is there some kind of latch or something to keep it locked ?
is there anywhere where someone sells a complete matching set ?

any help from u professionals would greatly help

thanks

I have a 70 Burb with rear barn doors. Here's a photo of the lock and mechanism. Maybe the picture helps??

I dont know if anything is reproduced at this moment?!?!?! When I built my suburban 7 years ago there was NOTHING for the rear doors. Im sure this has changed but you might need to look for used parts from some of the guys on here that part them out. UNCLE here on the board would be a good start.

GMC paul used to sell complete sets,keyed alike but I contacted them and they no longer do. I'm just guessing that because of this, they probably make the rear door lock. Even though they no longer have any sets for sale, it might be a good place to gather info.

The last kit I got from them was not correct and the rear cyl. was not correct. I think they discontinued it shortly there after.
