Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Maintenance & Servicing Retro fitting locking door handles

Thanks for the advice guys. Looks like it need to investigate my lock first and go from there.

So, from the above images, there is already a square rod protruding out of the correct side, but stops 1-2mm short of the door skin. This square rod goes into the lock and connects to the handle on the inside. Other than glueing anotjer square rod to the existing one, giving it extra length to enter the external handle, what options are available. Thanks

Buy a new lock designed to have a handle I guess. I wouldn't bother, my first car had no door handles it wasn't an issue.

Actually, having looked at the door handle in mogparts, there is a part that would protrude through the door skin and would most likely fit into the square rod, so I think I have answered my own question. Was relatively simple to remove the lock earlier so this is well within my capabilities.

Hi Leroy,
Usually the handle (shank) goes through the rose and is secured to it by a circlip. The shank is not flush with the rose back, it will protrude about 8mm and will have a square hole to accommodate the spindle. Obviously you need a larger hole in the door to accommodate the shank. Best of luck.

SALMO, yes, from looking at the images I took and on mogparts, that would seem correct. Thanks

As shown here in Mogparts listing.



Presumably the part that protrudes through the skin has a female square section to match and engage with the door lock square shaft. A quick phone call would confirm this.
