A tapered spring-loaded car door latch bolt that when the door is closed, simply slips over a striker plate tongue and seats in a depression or groove. This design certainly works well for your bedroom door, but is not the best for a moving automobile, especially one that has been vastly updated decades later with better suspension, more horsepower, and so on that can really push the car to its limits. Occupants need to be secured (use those seatbelts!) and just as importantly, the doors need to stay closed during hard cornering or worst case a collision that involves a rollover. Enter the modern automobile “bear claw” car door latch that rotates and locks around a robust striker pin or “Nader pin.” This style of modern door latch has been used in new vehicles since the early 1960s and hot rodders have been retrofitting them to early hot rods and street rods ever since. Today, Speedway Motors makes this process easier with its Universal Slim-Line Bear Jaw car door latches. Strength and Security You Can Count On Our Universal Slim-Line Bear Jaw latch is designed for vehicles with smaller doors, such as ’32-’34 Ford and similar model cars and trucks and with thin doors and limited mounting room. Do not worry if you are considering a bear jaw latch conversion for your “Fat Fender” ride or other ’40s or ’50s vehicle with a larger door profile, as we offer a larger Universal car door latch to fit a wide selection of larger door profiles. Our latches are constructed of zinc-plated steel body with all steel internals for long life and feature a two-stage latch mechanism just like a modern door latch for increased safety and strength with great holding power. Works with Any Door—Steel or Fiberglass Our Universal Slim-Line Bear Jaw door latches can be actuated via linkage rod or cable and require fitting to your door shell. We do offer to make the job easier. The door latch plate features pre-cut openings and mounting holes and can be welded into steel doors or bonded into fiberglass doors. The car door latch bodies feature three .26-inch through 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 and door latch plate (if used). Lock nuts are recommended to secure the latch as well. We offer additional door latch parts to aid your latch conversion, including the correct size for the door jambs and for mounting and adjusting the striker pins for best door fitment. Alternatively, you can select the kit option from the above drop-down selection, which includes the correct striker pins and cage nuts with the door latches. We also offer a complete Slim-Line Bear Jaw that includes left and right latches, two striker pins, two cage nut plates, and two latch mounting plates for a complete installation solution. 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). Add a pair to your project today and ride safely the next time you hit the road!
