The front door checker is a mechanical strap assembly that limits how far the door can open, preventing over-extension damage to the hinges and door structure. On the Defender, door checkers are subject to significant wear due to the vehicle's working environment and frequent use on uneven terrain, with common failure symptoms including doors swinging uncontrolled or failing to hold at their open position.
