Zone Tech Car Universal High Power Door Lock Actuator - Premium Quality Heavy Duty Durable Automotive Locking Mechanism (2-Pack)

My goal was a very minimally intrusive installation. I dislike installing stuff like this that isn't OEM, so I always strive for absolute minimal disruption or modification to existing components. After careful consideration, I opted to install a secondary, small dia. actuating rod made from music wire. That said, I am extremely happy with how this came out, how it functions, and again, how minimally invasive the install was. My 5-star review is based on decent build quality and functionality, considering the sub-$10 price tag. If you happen to be considering installing these in a 2nd gen Taco, you've stopped by the right review, as I have pics of my install. The physical installation was easy, but be warned: if you're one of the people who ask "will this fit my ____?", then you should probably not attempt this installation/modification. These pics show only the physical installation of the actuators. There are too many variables to get into specific wiring details. I converted my Viper 4115V remote start (one button remote) to a full keyless entry system by adding Directed module 451M, and adding a 4-button Viper remote. These pics are showing installation in my 2014 Toyota Tacoma (reg. cab). Pic 1: I modified the latch/lock handle housing as shown, drilling a hole at an angle for the new lock actuator rod. Pic 2: I slightly enlarged the hole that the lock cable goes into, because it will now be shared with the OEM lock cable and the new actuator rod (music wire). It doesn't need to be enlarged much to accept both cables. Pic 3: This shown the new rod bent and installed into the housing. Pic 4: Completed latch/lock housing, ready for reattaching to the door. Pic 5: I modified the actuator mounting holes using a c'sink tool, so I could use flat-head screws for mounting. Pic 6: Shows the modified actuator, before trimming off the excess flashing created from the c'sink operation. Pic 7: Through trial and error, this is the final mounting location. There's plenty of room for the actuator, but it does need to be located accurately so as to not interfere with features on the back side of the door panel. Pic 8:Final mechanical assembly, ready to put the door panel back on. The first side took about 2 hours or more, as I needed to figure everything out. The 2nd side took about 30 min. after the door panel was removed. The end result is very good, the actuators lock/unlock the doors with plenty of force. They do have a bit more travel than what is required for the locks. I may revisit this at some point in the future to develop a buffering method of dealing with the over-travel condition.

I picked up the Zone Tech Car Universal High Power Door Lock Actuator 2-Pack to fix some sluggish locks on my older car, and I’m thrilled with the results! These actuators are heavy-duty and feel premium right out of the box. Installation was straightforward with basic tools, and they fit perfectly as a universal replacement. Now my doors lock and unlock with a satisfying, powerful click—way better than the OEM parts. They’ve held up flawlessly so far, proving their durability. For the price, this 2-pack is a steal and brought new life to my car’s locking system. Five stars, no question!

worked great

I have seen reviewers legitimately question the actual push/pull forces produced, since the description says both 13 and 6 lbs. However, I can tell you that whatever the actual force, it is much more robust than the OEM unit that I have, and gives a satisfying and fast "slam" at both close and open positions. It also has a great clutch, since it does not interfere with the manual operation of the lock. Criticisms: 1.) The above mentioned push/pull conflicts in the reported force number, (but it is strong). 2.) The head is reported to rotate, but mine did NOT. 3.) Although the design is slim, the motor is large. Make sure that you have mounting space. Despite the above issues, I installed this replacement for a TriMark RV door actuator in about 30 minutes, and I am pleased with the results.

This worked for my 1987 f350 4 door. Finding the originals is not only hard but installing them feel impossible. I was very skeptical for the price but figured id try anyways cause these are a fraction of oem price. I hope my pics help someone with the same osb woes. Mounted on the inside of door and used one preexisting hole and drilled the other. Plenty of room to clrar window regulator. Only thing I dont like is wires are very thin... I planned on making a connector to replace them on the fly but the plugs I had didn't work. Ended up overlapping wires in the splice.

Todo bien

A+

Not very strong

Great job worked as expected.

Hasta que los ponga veré los resultados

Excelente calidad muy silenciosos, eso es importante para mí, traen lo necesario para instalarse.

I used this product to replace the actuators on my 2007 Impala. Installed 2 weeks ago and I am really happy on how they perform. It is nice to hear the solid action of actuator.

I received my order on time however the two mounting brackets and rods where missing also the screws are too short, I have managed without these however as there were part of the kit I'm was disappointed to not receive the entire kit. I feel like I've paid for something that wasn't worth it, as I paid for the entire kit and didn't receive it
