I guess I thought I would post this so it comes up on google when people search how to install central locking.
this is the system im using I still need a key but its kind of annoying having to lean over to unlock for a passenger http://www.hameedauto.com/images/central_locking_kit_large.jpg
Ok so ill add pics tomoro when I do the main door. I am only doing the two front doors so im hoping it will work on only two doors.
Ok so I took off the door trims, that was the hardest part so far! I removed the window winder by pinching off the silver pin just behind the winding part it looks like this - http://www.parts4cars.com.au/images/T213.JPG I used tweezers to kinda pull it open and pull it out remove the winder bit and the ring behind it put them somewhere safe (the pin gets lost so easy). Then I took off the door lock housing (the thing surrounding the part you push or pul to lock or unlock the car) part by pushing the back part in with a screwdriver from behind it and then pulling the housing up and out. then twist/screw off the plastic lock part itself, then pop out the bottom part by wedging a butter knife in between the door and the trim part and pop out the like little plastic bung things that hold the door onto the trim thing. Then you will need to remove the air vent thing along the top near where the windows go smaller towards the front of the car door, there is a few little bits (kinda like pins that stop it coming out) that you push in and lever it up bit by bit to get it out, then remove the door handle casing (the part that surrounds the thing you pull up to get out of the car) pop it up (there is a little plastic bung thing) pop it up and then slide it forward and pull up again and then backwards should allow it to come out if not fiddle with it till it comes out be careful not to break anything then inside there is small plastic black thing that screws in under the handle lift the handle and pull it out i think that screw also holds the trim onto the door so now it should be free to move... Now pull the whole door trim up Its best to have the window down at this point, pull the trim making sure to snap break so gently but firmly at the same time the silver trim at the top will be removed at the same time so pull it up and up at the same time and it should come off fiddle till you get it off i guess. then remove the plastic thats in there gently so you can replace it if you want.
Ok now inside you will see the rod that runs from the door handle lifty part to the latch ignore this part its got nothing to do with the central locking, in further kinda behind is the rod for the locking part thats what you need to attach the central locking thing to. ok first things first putting together the central locking mechanism - you have this part - http://www.carbonblack.com.au/images/car-parts/Interior-Accessories-Security-Heavy-Duty-Central-Locking-Motor-5-Wire-DLHD101.gif and the rod with a bend in it, put the rod thru to hole at the tip of the device you kinda have to wiggle it over the corner but it does go on. then you will see a little square with a slit in one side and a few holes in it, it looks like this - http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r258/payner233/central_locking_kit_LR8810.jpg. the arrow points to the bit im referring to. work out how far down you will need to attach it to the rod by putting inside the door and holding the locking rod against the actual lock rod and lock and unlock the door and make sure the locking rod doesnt hit the top of the door or obstruct itself from moving. then put a little screw in once you know where on the locking rod (the bent one attached to the device) you need to screw it so it can still move but not slid up and down, then you need to screw the other two screws in but not all the way its to help you be able to screw them in cause its really hard with the door metal in the way. then put the slit part of the square onto the lock part rod (that lets you lock the car). get your hand in there and screw the screws until tight. the next part is to screw the mechanism to the door, you will need to keep the mechanism and the rod in a straight line so its like not offset or anything and make sure you check to see if it opens and closes right without moving the whole mechanism ( i closed mine when lock and then held it tight and unlocked the door and made sure the mechanism part opened so to say). Then line up the little holes in the mecahnism these bits here are the screw holes im referring to - http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r258/payner233/central_locking_kit_LR8810-1.jpg. line it up and drill the hole in the door from the outside (dont hit the drill bit onto your mechanism). then screw it on
and yer then you gotta do the wiring but i have not done this part yet lol
Ok so i ramble abit and dont use the correct terms but if you needa know anything else ask :happy:
