Installation recommendations

Generally/typically it is necessary to proceed carefully with a set of locks and compare the individual parts with the old part. The exact installation steps may vary depending on the specific car design and equipment.

1) Before assembly

• Check the visual condition of all parts of the kit, i.e. the driver’s door lock, the fuel cap lock, the switch box and the key.
• Compare the shape of the connectors, mounting, mechanical parts and design of the inserts with the old part.
• Verify that the kit contains all the parts listed and that the key mechanically matches the supplied locks.
• Disconnect the battery before working, especially if you will be handling around the switch box.

2) Necessary tools and materials

• A common set of hand tools
• Screwdrivers and plastic levers for panel removal
• Cleaning agent for mechanical parts
• Suitable lubricant for locking mechanisms
• Protective gloves and cloth

3) Step-by-step assembly procedure

1. Turn off the ignition and secure the vehicle against movement.
2. Disconnect the battery and wait a reasonable time before handling.
3. Dismantle the inner lining in the place where you will change the lock or switch box.
4. Carefully disconnect the old part’s tie rods, connectors, or fasteners, if present.
5. Remove the original door lock and compare it with the supplied piece.
6. Dismantle the original tank lid lock and then the switch box in the same way.
7. Clean the seating surfaces and check for damage to the surrounding mounting points.
8. Install the new driver’s door lock, connect the mechanical parts and any connectors.
9. Install the tank lid lock and check that it works smoothly.
10. Install the switch box and check the correct seating and movement of the key in each position.
11. Reattach the removed interior parts and all fasteners.
12. Connect the battery and perform a basic function check of the whole set.
• 4) Post-assembly checks and test drive/function verification
  • Try locking and unlocking the driver’s door.
  • Verify the operation of the tank cap lock.
  • Check the operation of the key in the ignition box and the correct operation of the ignition.
  • After assembly, check that the mechanisms do not move stiffly or jam.
  • When verifying the function, make sure that all the removed covers and trims are properly seated.

  5) The most common assembly mistakes + how to avoid them

  • Exchanging parts in a set – always compare each part with the old part before assembly.
  • Damage to trim or mounts – use appropriate tools to remove plastic parts.
  • Incorrect seating of the lock – before final tightening, verify the light and smooth operation of the mechanism.
  • Skip key check – test the mechanical function of all parts of the set before complete assembly.
  • Insufficient cleaning of the installation site – dirt can cause impaired operation or premature wear.

  Reasons why the part is damaged

  • Long-term mechanical wear from daily use.
  • Repeated jamming of the lock insert due to dirt and corrosion.
  • Damage after an attempt to forcibly open the door or tank lid.
  • Wearing of the switch box due to frequent use of the key.
  • Influence of humidity, dust and neglected maintenance of locking mechanisms.
  • Damage to internal parts during careless disassembly or assembly.
