CCKWX Door Lock Question.

Post by robc »

Having just purchased a CCKWX I notice there appears to be a door lock barrell on the passenger door, but not one on the drivers door, would door locks have been fitted?, and to one side only?

Having door locks on only the passengers side was SOP with the trucks and I think with the cars too. The lock is a civy lock and is removed by opening the door and pulling the tab (about 1.5" high) that goes behind it on the edge of the door.

BTW:

If you go to a show and want to lock the truck, TRUST ME, lock both doors with the windows up or mostly up and before you close the doors, remove the door handles! I have had people hang on them trying to open the doors. I am always afraid that they will bend something and lock me out!

Put one handle on the floor and one handle just inside the cargo bed if you have the gate up.
