Dorman - OE Solutions Door Latch Reinforcement P/N:926-264
Give a fatigued door the support its latch depends on with the Dorman OE FIX Door Latch Reinforcement, part number 926-286. Built for the front right door of the 1994-2001 Dodge Ram 1500, 1994-2002 Dodge Ram 2500 and 1994-2002 Dodge Ram 3500, it is designed to add structure back to the area around the latch without bodywork.
On certain Dodge and Ram pickups, the door structure around the latch can fatigue over time. This reinforcement mounts over the existing door panel to supply the structure the latch needs to work properly.
Signs your door may need reinforcement: cracked or fatigued sheet metal around the latch, or a door that is hard to latch or does not stay securely closed. If a fatigued door structure is the cause, this reinforcement addresses it. Inspect the area to confirm the cause before ordering.
