InstallGear Universal Power Door Lock Actuator Kit — 4-Pack 12V motors with straps & rods for DIY retrofit

InstallGear's Universal Car Power Door Lock Kit is a complete 4-pack of 12-volt actuators with straps, connecting rods, screws, and hardware to upgrade vehicle door locks quickly and reliably.

Replace manual locks or retrofit remote locking to older vehicles using this full kit from InstallGear. The package includes four compact 12-volt motor-driven actuators plus the mounting straps, connecting rods, self-tapping screws, and extra hardware needed to adapt to most car and truck doors. Designed for do-it-yourself installation, these actuators deliver consistent push-pull action compatible with standard power lock wiring and common door latch layouts.

How do these actuators fit different vehicle doors?

The kit is built for universal compatibility: each actuator provides a straightforward push-pull motion and includes hardware that lets you mount it in multiple positions. With 6.75-inch mounting straps and 8.5-inch connecting rods, you can adjust length and angle to match factory linkage. Wiring is standard 12V so it ties into most aftermarket remotes or existing vehicle circuits.

• Four 12-volt actuators work with typical door latch linkages
• 6.75" mounting straps accommodate varied attachment points
• 8.5" connecting rods allow flexible length and orientation
• Standard electrical connections for aftermarket or factory systems

What comes in the kit and what tools will I need?

InstallGear supplies a nearly complete hardware set so you won’t have to source extra parts. Each kit contains four actuators, four mounting straps, four connecting rods, eight self-tapping screws, and additional pictured mounting pieces to finish most installs. Basic hand tools—screwdrivers, pliers, a drill, and wire crimpers—are usually sufficient for the job.

• Included: (4) actuators, (4) 6.75" straps, (4) 8.5" rods, (8) self-tapping screws
• Included: miscellaneous pictured mounting hardware for secure attachment
• Recommended tools: screwdrivers, pliers, drill, wire crimper/strippers
• Optional: multimeter for verifying 12V wiring and connections

How reliable and durable are the actuators for everyday use?

These actuators are made to withstand routine door cycles and offer stable push-pull force for locking and unlocking. The mounting straps and included screws provide a snug installation that reduces vibration and misalignment. While performance depends on proper installation and vehicle conditions, the kit’s materials and hardware are chosen for long-term everyday use.

• Motorized 12V units designed for repeated lock/unlock cycles
• Secure mounting straps reduce movement and noise over time
• Self-tapping screws help create reliable threaded attachments
• Includes spare hardware parts to replace worn fittings if needed

Who this is for: InstallGear’s Universal Car Power Door Lock Kit is aimed at DIY mechanics, auto restorers, and owners of older vehicles who want to add or replace power locking without buying model-specific parts. It’s a good fit if you need a full hardware set with flexible mounting options and standard 12V compatibility. If you prefer plug-and-play OEM modules for a particular make or need vehicle-specific brackets, a model-matched kit may be more appropriate.
