Door lock does not close

  • Hello,

    I'm a new one to the forum and I'm from Munich. Actually I come more from the tail fin corner, as the name suggests. Now I bought a 911 T, but with larger engine.


    Now immediately a first problem:


    Unfortunately, the driver's door can not be locked. Also the button can not be pressed down when the door is closed.

    Where can I find a link to remove the door panels?

    And which spare parts dealers besides Porsche do you prefer?

    Do you have a special anti-theft device (steering wheel claw or blocking the pedals?).


    Greetings

  • Hello Andi,

    welcome to the air-cooled cast-iron ones

    here you should find something

    Possibly the tie rod is unhooked

    I see you have a F model, so it might be a little different.

    Add to your signature, BJ, type, engine etc.

    The whole door lock mechanics is not quite without but is self-evident.

    I always buy my parts here:

    Not very cheap but very good!

    Anti-theft has never been an issue.
    Switzerland is still a "decent" country.... :khat:

    Have fun with your beautiful F-model!

  • Hello and welcome,
    As for the lock - sometimes it's just the old grease that gets it stuck in an "intermediate" position.

    Remove, clean, re-grease... you don't even want to know the new price....


    On the subject of theft protection, just read this:

    "And another one... "There are discussed over the entire thread different theft protection solutions.

  • Hello and good evening,

    Thanks already for the good tips.

    So, I have a 911 T, first registration 07/1971, but with a 2.7 l engine, carburetor, 200 "dyno horsepower" and everything registered.

    I will start tomorrow to dismantle the door panel. That should be no witchcraft. I have the passenger door on the right for comparison.

    If one may also make recommendations here, then I can highly recommend the company Sportwagen Rau in Krailling. Father and son. Make only air-cooled. His brother Erich Rau is the best electric oldtimer specialist in Munich and surroundings.

    Greetings

  • So problem solved. This V-shaped part slipped behind the pin of the door opener. This prevented the rod with the door knob from sliding backwards. Bend V-part a little forward, pin back in between- done.

    Now I'm looking for the front storage compartment and the armrest. Is there a spare parts exchange? Flea market?

    Greetings
