ABOUT CAR DOOR LATCH REPAIR

What is a door latch replacement service?

When your car door won’t close, a door latch replacement is the service you need to get things moving again.

This service will also improve or prevent issues with opening one or more doors, locking/unlocking doors, or issues with doors getting stuck in one position.

At your appointment, your TLC technician will remove the door panel and replace the plastic or metal latches on any affected doors. They may also replace the car door handles if needed.

If you notice one or more of these signs, it’s important to reach out to a trusted auto repair professional before the problem gets worse.

WHY IS YOUR DOOR LATCH IMPORTANT?

A poorly functioning door latch on your car or truck is not just an inconvenience: it can cause other problems that can affect your everyday life, and the overall performance of your vehicle.

Best case scenario: you have a door that will not open or close properly, which can cause you to have difficulty driving—and even arriving to appointments on time. Worst case scenario: it triggers other problems in your vehicle, such as issues with your door handle, cracked and broken seals around your door, warped hinges, and more.

Plus, with all those things to avoid, there’s also a world of benefit to keeping your door latches in good repair.

The benefits of DOOR LATCH REPAIR

REDUCED OVERALL COST

When you take the time to repair your door latch right away, you prevent a whole host of related issues from occurring as a result.

IMPROVED SAFETY

A car door that won’t close, open, or stay closed is a huge safety hazard that can impact your life and the lives of your passengers.

REDUCED CRIME RISK

Vehicles that can be opened more easily are more vulnerable to crimes such as car-jacking, scrapping, and other robberies.

PREVENT DOOR LATCH ISSUES

Prolong the life of your car door latches by taking proper care of your vehicle weekly, monthly, and quarterly according to your vehicle’s operation manual. Here are some additional suggestions from our experienced techs:

Familiarize yourself with how your car looks and acts, so you can more easily identify a potential problem.

Keep hinges, latches, and other moving parts in good working order by regularly using a lubricating oil approved by your mechanic.

At least once per month, check your car, inside and out, for signs of rust, deterioration, or other types of damage.
