XG Door Locks

Recommended Posts

So the keys are warn out and the door locks could do with replacing. Has anybody bought any of the ebay listed items and found them good or useless?

In my experience, XG's and XH's have a poor lock/unlock action, compared with XD-XF's.

 

My panelvan benefited tremendously from just disassembling, cleaning and re-greasing the mechanisms.

The difference was night and day.

yeah same for me(sparkydave's post)  with the door mechanism, i submerged mine in petrol and swished all the dusty oil out of them and sprayed them with oil.. like new in the mech.

 

the actual locks the keys go into, not sure what you can to other than graphite them and hope it makes a difference. 

 

mate of mine reckons the new aftemarket locks are FINE but all the same code, (he bought a set for an XG and EF and they share the same key ) 

 

so might pay to put a kill switch on something just to be sure if so.  could have just fluked a matching set but that's what he got.
