Works with Any Door-Steel or Fiberglass

Our Universal Mini Bear Jaw door latches can be actuated via linkage rod or cable and require fitting to your door shell. The car door latch bodies feature two threaded mounting holes that accept 1/4-20 mounting fasteners. Depending upon door to jamb fitment a button-head fastener may be your best solution. Overall length of the fastener will be determined by your door and inner structure thickness plus the thickness of the latch assembly.

Due to the universal fit nature of these car door latches and door latch parts, modifications to your door shell, inner structure, and door jamb will be required to convert to these Bear Jaw latches, but the additional safety is certainly worth it in our opinion. These latches are perfect for builds with shaved door handles or to convert to suicide doors (left latch installed in right door, and right latch installed in left door).

  • Mini size bear jaw latch works well for Model A and Model T Ford vehicles
  • Adds safety and reliability to your car door
  • Works with both rod and cable release door handle mechanisms
  • Can be used for standard or suicide door style installations
  • Works with steel and fiberglass door shells
  • Installs directly into car door shell
  • Sold individually in left or ride side latch
  • Zinc plated for corrosion resistance
  • Works with shaved door handle systems
  • Mounting hardware not included (mounting holes take a ¼-20 fastener)
