Door Lock Striker Adjustment: Notes
The door lock striker consists of a striker with two screws that are threaded into a tapped, floating cageplate located in the appropriate body pillar. This floating cage plate allows the striker to be easily adjusted in and out or up and down.
The door is secured in the closed position when the door lock fork snaps over and engages the striker.
CAUTION:
The door lock striker is an important attaching part that can affect the performance of vital components and systems. It can cause major repair expenses. If replacement becomes necessary, the door lock striker must be replaced by one with the same part number or with an equivalent. Do not use a replacement part of lesser quality or of a substitute design. The specified torque values must be used during reassembly to ensure the proper retention of the part.
