## Description

This door lock actuator has undergone extensive quality and safety testing to ensure reliable performance. It is engineered to provide a direct replacement for the stock actuator on specific vehicle years, makes and models.

Review: OEM quality and reliability - Loved it! The power on these door lock actuators are as if it was a new truck i replaced my old original 96 GMC Yukon door lock actuators which were old and weak and these work perfect! The installation was somewhat complicated it over all worth the time and bit of a hassle to change.
Review: Good Value For The $ - The actuator came in overnight which was a very pleasant surprise when ordering. Installed on a 2005 Chevrolet Astro Van passenger door. As some pointed out the mounting bracket is not installed on the actuator as it is set to be universal to the door being installed. To me this is ingenious as this cuts down on product sitting on a shelf somewhere. Yes you must remove four nuts and four screws, I myself did not find this to be an inconvenience as other have. If you don't wish to deal with this you can pay more money for the AC Delco unit. And yes the original actuators are installed with rivets at the factory, simply drill the center out with a quality metal bit, nothing from Harbor Freight though. This will definitely save your door from damaging the door by using an air chisel. For mounting I read in reviews the mounting holes did not align for an Astro van, turn the bracket around as it's supposed to mounted on the actuator and the holes will align perfectly. I did the driver's side last year and found that using a 1/4" x 1/2" aluminum rivet is the perfect size for mounting with no issues of being loose. I was also surprised to find that included with the actuator were tabs to mount with screws which AC Delco does not. I just installed this unit about an hour ago, it works perfectly. Solved my issue of the doors not fully locking or unlocking with the switch. I did find that the door handle and locking arms were overlapped behind the arm rest mount. Bending these into the proper position solved the stiffness experienced when unlocking the door with the key. This however was not the root cause of the door switch not unlocking and locking the door. I did not provide a rating for longevity as I just purchased and installed it. Overall I think the product is very good and worth the spend as once I reassembled the door the lock seemed to work much better than it ever has. I would recommend this product to anyone and everyone.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works well
*by T***Y on August 10, 2012*

My Chevy Suburban is 13 years old and two of the door actuators do not work anymore. So I bought one by VDO and another one by Dorman. I was happy with the Dorman because it came with a rubber boot and 5 rivets (two of which I used for installing the VDO actuator). The VDO does not. But the VDO seems to be more solidly built. I know that VDO makes some OEM parts for BMW, so I expect it to last longer than the Dorman as the Dorman housing is actually plastic with a fake metal can on top. We'll see how they flare, but I hope I never will find out as I will probably not keep my car more than another 5 years. Oh one more thing, the VDO fits perfectly into the original bracket but I had to drill and file the bracket to fit the Dorman unit (3 mins job). If another one of the door actuator craps out on my Chevy, I will probably buy a VDO, though it cost $5 more. I could go either way though.
