The door lock striker is a hardened metal plate mounted to the door aperture that engages with the door latch mechanism to secure the door in the closed position. On the Defender, wear or damage to this component can result in doors that fail to close securely, rattle at speed, or develop excessive play in the shut line. Correct replacement ensures the latch engages with the intended geometry, maintaining door alignment and seal compression. Key Features Hardened steel construction to withstand repeated latch engagement cycles Direct bolt-on fitment to the door aperture pillar - no modification required Genuine Land Rover OEM part number FQB500130, ensuring correct latch engagement geometry When replacing the striker, inspect the door latch and door check strap for concurrent wear; both are common failure points on high-mileage Defenders Vehicle Fitment This striker fits the Land Rover Defender across all body styles from chassis number AA270227 onwards, covering the 1986–2006 model range and continuing into the 2007-onwards series from chassis number 7A000001.
