Review on πŸ”’ Enhanced Performance APDTY 042512 Door Lock Actuator Motor with Latch – Upgrade Your Door Security by Niranjan Reynolds

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Part opens the door when the door is closed

Parts I give 1 star for a major design flaw but for the service to the seller I give 5 stars. The part fits well, although the door is a little harder to open (though not by much). The main disadvantage of this part is that if you lock the door when it's open (like most of us) the door will lock, but as soon as you close the door the door will unlock. I bought a passenger door part and a driver door part and they both work the same. I emailed the seller and he immediately sent me a new part (so I give them 5 stars) but the new part works the same so these are the 3 parts I tested. I only installed 1 but tested the other 2 before installing (lock the part then push the lever back like you are closing a door and the door will unlock and can be opened). Original locks don't work that way and I've never seen any other car door that opens automatically just by closing the door. This is a serious security vulnerability. If you lock the door with the remote control after the door is closed, it will be locked but no other part works like that. So you should always remember to lock your doors a second time and then check each door to make sure it's locked. Even if you sell the car, good luck as long as you don't get sued or anything. It's a shame because the price of these parts is great and the service was great too, but this part poses a major safety concern.

Pros
  • Brings joy
Cons
  • Some small things
