Help keep your door securely shut with the Standard Ignition Door Latch DLA1217, a front left latch that holds the door closed against the striker and releases it when the handle is operated. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1989-1999 Chevrolet C1500, 1992-1999 Chevrolet K1500 and 1992-1994 Chevrolet Blazer. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
A door latch sits inside the door and locks onto the striker whenever the door closes. It then lets go when the handle or lock linkage moves it. With daily use, the internal parts can wear. When that happens, a door may refuse to latch, need to be slammed, fail to open from the handle, or rattle in its opening. If a worn latch is behind those signs, DLA1217 replaces the front left latch. Handles, rods and the striker can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing the latch.
Is this the right K1500 door latch for my truck?
It is listed as the front left door latch for the 1992-1999 Chevrolet K1500 with all engines, and those applications use one.
Does this Chevy Blazer door latch assembly fit a 1992-1994 Blazer?
Yes. It is listed for the front left door of the 1992-1994 Chevrolet Blazer with all engines.
What does a door latch do?
The latch grips the striker on the door frame to hold the door closed. It releases the door when the handle or lock linkage is operated.
What are signs a door latch may need replacing?
Watch for a door that won't stay latched, must be slammed, won't open from the handle, or rattles. Linkage or handle parts can cause the same signs, so diagnose before replacing.
How is the door latch installed?
The latch mounts inside the door, so the trim panel is usually removed for access. Follow the vehicle service information for the procedure, linkage connections and correct fasteners.
