Slimline Door Latch Kit (pair)

The Chassis Engineering Slimline Door Latch Kit (pair) is a precision-engineered hardware solution designed for vehicles requiring lightweight, reliable door retention without compromising fitment or structural integrity. This two-piece set delivers the compact profile its name promises, making it ideal for custom builds, race vehicles, and fabrication projects where door closure hardware must integrate seamlessly into slimmed panels or custom door designs.

Constructed from steel and finished with cadmium plating for corrosion resistance, the Slimline Door Latch Kit features a mini bear claw mechanism that provides positive engagement while maintaining a minimal external footprint. Each pair includes matching hardware and striker components, ensuring consistent operation across both doors. The cadmium finish protects against rust and oxidation even in harsh environmental conditions, extending service life compared to bare steel alternatives. At 1.59 lbs total weight, the kit minimizes unsprung mass—a critical consideration in performance and competition applications where every pound matters.

Builders working on custom vehicles, competition cars, hot rods, and lightweight chassis configurations rely on Chassis Engineering door hardware to reduce weight without sacrificing functionality. The pair format means both doors receive identical, factory-matched components, ensuring even door operation and professional appearance. Installation requires basic mechanical skill and standard fastening tools. This kit suits fabricators restoring classic vehicles, constructing off-road race cars, or optimizing weight distribution in performance builds.

Chassis Engineering has established itself as a trusted source for lightweight hardware and structural components in the automotive aftermarket. The Slimline Door Latch Kit reflects the brand's engineering approach: simplicity, durability, and measurable weight savings without feature bloat.
