Review on πŸ”’ Dorman 746-162 Door Lock Actuator Motor: Ideal Replacement for Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury Models by Glen Needham

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Will work with some modifications for 2002 Ford Explorer Limited

The first handle is easy. I didn't realize there are usually different parts on the left and right of the car and it doesn't say that anywhere on the page. So I had to buy 2 more but it worked fine and now I have 1 spare for each side. strong enough, the actuator fell into the door while driving, leaving my truck door unlocked with a firearm and expensive camping gear inside. I almost went white when I realized this. So I had to go back and do it all over again and seal the lock with epoxy. I don't think it will fall out now. After all this I have 4 brand new and very strong sounding locks on my 2002 Ford Explorer and am happy with the end result. Despite what feels like very cheap plastic and a lot cheaper workmanship than the originals, I firmly believe in them and since buying the car a few months ago I've finally been able to stop checking the doors every time I park for the first time.

Pros
  • Reliable replacement - this door lock actuator has been extensively tested for quality and safety
Cons
  • Some imperfections
