Ford Transit Van Slide Door Lock Latch Extender

thingiverse

This is a custom door lock latch designed specifically for Ford Transit van conversions. The innovative latch extends the manual lock through a mounted panel, allowing the lock to remain accessible while adding a touch of style to the vehicle's interior. A precisely engineered shroud fits snugly over a 3.0 cm by 5.0 cm hole, ensuring a seamless integration with panels up to 0.55 cm thick. To maintain discretion, a slide plate is cleverly integrated into the latch, concealing the internal mechanisms from view. For added durability, the latch was printed in heat-resistant ABS plastic, capable of withstanding high temperatures. The latch was securely attached to the door lock using a strong adhesive, while the panel fits perfectly over the slide to accommodate the latch. Although not a masterpiece of engineering, this design effectively serves its purpose and presents a pleasing aesthetic appearance. A minor drawback is some play in the latch due to the angular design, primarily resulting from the stock lock's plastic components. To further enhance stability, extending the sleeve of the latch would provide added reinforcement. For your convenience, Fusion and STEP files are included for easy modification or reproduction.
