Description

Replace a worn or failed front right door latch with the Dorman door latch assembly, part number 940-401, which holds the door shut when it closes and releases it when the handle is operated. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1991-2001 Ford Explorer, 2001-2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac and 2001-2003 Ford Explorer Sport. It is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications, and the "Vehicles it fits" section has the full list.

Reliable replacement: Dorman puts this latch through extensive quality and safety performance testing.
Perfect fit: Engineered to fit and work like the original latch on the listed applications.
Safety compliant: Tested in simulated crashes under government guidelines.
Long-lasting repair: Cycle testing in an actual vehicle door is used to verify effective use for years.

The latch sits inside the door and grips the striker to keep the door closed until the inside or outside handle releases it. Signs a latch may need replacing include a door that won't latch or stay shut, a door that won't open from the handle, or a door that must be slammed to close. Diagnose the cause first. If a failed latch is behind the problem, this unit replaces it at the front right door position.
