Product Information
Door Lock Receiver Sleeve – Set of 2
Restore smooth and secure door operation on your classic
Porsche with this OE Match Door Lock Receiver Sleeve Set. These sleeves form part of the door locking and receiver
mechanism, helping provide the correct interface between the locking components
when the door is closed. Worn or damaged sleeves can contribute to excessive
movement, poor engagement and unwanted noise from the door assembly.
Fits:
- Porsche 356A 1955-59
-
Porsche 356B 1959-63
-
Porsche 356C 1963-65
Diagram ref no 4
Supplied as a set of two, they are an ideal replacement
during Porsche 356 door lock refurbishment or a complete vehicle restoration.
What Does a Door Lock Receiver Sleeve Do?
The receiver sleeve helps the door locking mechanism engage
smoothly and securely when the door is closed. It provides a controlled contact
surface within the receiver assembly, helping minimise unnecessary movement and
wear between the associated components.
Correctly functioning sleeves can help provide:
- Smooth
door lock engagement
- Secure
door closure
- Reduced
play within the locking mechanism
- Reduced
metal-to-metal contact
- Quieter
door operation
- Correct
operation of the door receiver assembly
Why Do Door Lock Receiver Sleeves Fail?
Door lock components experience wear every time the door is
opened and closed. On a classic Porsche 356, decades of use can gradually
deteriorate the receiver sleeves.
Common causes include:
- Age-related
deterioration
- Repeated
door opening and closing
- Friction
and mechanical wear
- Misaligned
door or locking components
- Damaged
or worn surrounding hardware
- Previous
removal during restoration work
Once worn, the sleeve may no longer provide the correct
support and contact within the locking mechanism.
When Should They Be Replaced?
Replacement should be considered if:
- The
existing sleeves are worn or damaged
- Excessive
play is present in the door locking mechanism
- The
door rattles when closed
- Lock
engagement feels loose or inconsistent
- Door
lock components are being rebuilt
- The
vehicle is undergoing restoration
It is also advisable to inspect the door lock, receiver and
related hardware for wear or incorrect alignment when replacing the sleeves.
Porsche 356 Door Locks, Receivers & Restoration Parts
Correct door alignment and locking operation are important
details when restoring a Porsche 356. Small components within the lock and
receiver assembly can wear significantly over time, resulting in rattles,
excessive movement or inconsistent door closure.
Replacing worn receiver sleeves alongside other deteriorated
door hardware helps restore a more precise and secure locking action. During a
Porsche 356 door restoration, the locks, receivers, hinges, seals and
associated hardware should also be inspected to ensure the complete assembly
operates correctly.
