Important Fitment Note: We do our best to list all compatible models. For parts that vary by production date, cab/body style, frame, engine, or option package, compare your original component and installation measurements before ordering. Confirm front or rear driver-side door placement and the plate shape. The factory latch, striker and existing damage still need inspection before installation.

Product Overview

The plate reinforces the door sheet metal surrounding the latch opening to help repair cracks or weakened mounting areas. It is a targeted body-repair part rather than a complete door or lock assembly.

On older ZJ doors, repeated opening and closing can leave the latch mounting metal fatigued. Repairing the damaged area can help the latch remain properly positioned when the underlying door structure is sound.

Confirm front or rear driver-side door placement and the plate shape. The factory latch, striker and existing damage still need inspection before installation.
