What is the Door Lock Actuator all about?

A door lock actuator is the component in electronic door locks that is responsible for locking and unlocking the vehicle’s doors. When a button is pressed to lock or unlock a door, the door lock switch triggers the actuator. A small motor in the actuator then triggers a series of gears. The final gear is connected to a rack and pinion set of gears, which converts the rotational motion of the motor into the vertical motion necessary to lock or unlock the door.

Keep in mind:

Some modern vehicles have a complete door lock assembly which can’t be separated into individual components. These vehicles will need the entire assembly replaced, rather than just the actuator.

Our recommendation:

The door lock system shouldn’t be checked unless you notice that something is wrong. As soon as you notice your vehicle behave oddly when you lock or unlock the doors, schedule an inspection.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Door Lock Actuator?

  • Doors won’t lock.
  • Doors won’t unlock.
  • Doors will only lock or unlock sporadically.
  • Doors make an unusual noise while locking or unlocking.
  • Car alarm goes off randomly.

How important is this service?

A door lock actuator is responsible for locking and unlocking your doors. When the door lock switch is triggered, the actuator’s motor powers a set of gears that lock or unlock your door. When the actuator stops working, there is no communication between the door lock switch and the door locks, and you’ll be unable to lock or unlock the door.

Subaru Impreza H4-2.5L - Brake Rotor/Disc Replacement (Rear) - Somerville, Massachusetts
Fantastic mechanic. Booked an appointment with less than 24 hour notice. I think i booked around 10 pm for a 11 am appointment (right around the end of the Super Bowl). Xavier promptly texted at confirmation of issues needed to be resolved. At 830 am he alerted he might have to reschedule due to an earlier commitment possibly taking longer than expected but he managed to arrive by 11:30 and communicated his progress (11:30 being better than expected as mechanic has 1 hour window to make appointment due to local traffic and logistics of home car repair in metro boston traffic) He was happy to go over in detail my car issues and able to spot other known car issues but suggested low cost fixes instead of "upselling". My rear brake calipers (which he replaced rotors and brake pads) were rusty and resulted in an atypical brake pattern. Most mechanics would demand i replace the calipers (which is an $800-$1200 repair). He suggested i lubricate and polish the calipers for a couple hundred. He showed me the wear on my serpentine belt which is a minor repair ($112ish) whereas more often mechanics would try and upsell and tell me to replace the whole timing belt ($1100+ repair yikes!) Also he decided power steering fluid flush I ordered was actually unnecessary for my car. Due to my cars weird design the only way he could flush it was 'turkey baster' method and if he did that 30% of the sediment might remain. He recommended if the steeering felt sluggish to simply look for a Valvoline special on the power steeering flush as they had better equipment (than he did on site) saving me $150 ! Lastly, I asked him the perennial question of cash strapped car owners everywhere. Im going on a 700+ mile trip to see girlfriends parents soon. Will this car be up to it? And how long before i really need to repair it again? Minor repair costs are nice but my budget didnt exactly plan for any repairs in January for a car I thought I *fixed* in November. He answered yeah the car should last for the trip and back but i should get the other minor stuff fixed within two weeks if I plan to make more long trips, otherwise i can wait 3 months before fixing the other minor stuff he mentioned. Suffice to say in 3 months time I know which mechanic I'll be calling and making time for. Thanks Xavier!
